~Mood 3/3
The mood seems to be very drama-ish, the dark colors and the images help to reinforce this mood as well, and yet it is not overpowering to the overall layout.
~Colour/Color 3/3
Very subtle hints of color that are amongst the graphic are quiet lovely. All the images seemed to have the colors of their images muted, but this helps it create a unity with the entire scheme so it does not look out of place.
~Font 2/3
A well chosen simple font, easy to read and visually pleasing amongst. The color of it, does seem a bit out of place with the poster colors. Perhaps a more elegant script in black or other muted colors would have also been suitable, but good either way.
The credits are long, as in instead of writing 'written by kpopluver369' you added the 'fanfiction' part. Which I will not deduct anything for, because it suited the poster. If she had requested a quote and you had kept the credits long, you would have been overdoing it.
However, seeing as she did not request that, you lengthened the credits and it looks more visually appealing.
~Image Suitability 2.5/3
The images seem to fit quiet well, even with such happy smiling images the colorization of them made it more dramatic, without needing to have change the images. The image on the top left, seems to be a bit too far left, and closer to the border than the central of the poster like the other images, leaving a bit of empty space between him and the girl.
~Overall layout 3/3
It's all very cleanly done, the images are all uniformed and suitable for a dramatic sort of piece. The border around the edge is very nice, (like the other poster) thin and not distracting.
Total: 13.5/15
~Extra
For graphic design jobs, you would most often be given very low quality images to work with. A rule of thumb is, if you can't work with it, don't. The requester won't mind if you change the images of someone in a poster, as long as it's better to work with and it looks good.
When you send in the request however, do mention that you changed an image so that they know that you couldn't work with it, and you're happy with the result of the change.
However, do try and not change ALL the images that they give you, keep the majority the ones that they send in, as they might be offended of going and searching for images that you didn't use.
I think you've done a very good job at following the requirements, however ESL they may have been. I looked up the story for this author, and I think the poster will suit it fine. You really have to have confidence in your work, because it's very good work.
Practice using light colors in your posters, do some practice ones with different characters and moods so that you can become more confident and versatile with them. If you wish, you can join in our Levels and we can send you small projects/assignments so that you can further learn how to do blends.
Hope this helps! :]
