Your graphic (url):

------
~Colour/Color 1/3
The color is distracting, a bit too intense and also a bit over contrasting.
In this graphic you are using; blue, red, white, green, beige, black and yellow, the colors are too much.
When doing a graphic, try and choose a theme for it, as in this graphic you chose blue, but you went over the top with it.
And you've also haven't taken into consideration the colors for the character images as well, which is another thing you must be careful with.
When you choose a theme, try and get it looking as consistent as possible, from the background, character images, effect, font and credits.
~Font 1/3
The font, although big and visible, and clear to read is not very well done at all.
The blue is the same color as the background effect, but the attention isn't being drawn to it, it just blends into the background.
Credits as well, are a bit strange as it does not suit the overal theme or layout (whatever that might be in this graphic).
Be careful when choosing fonts, and especially choosing colors for the graphic.
~Image Suitability 1.5/3
The identity of the characters are completly hidden, that may defeat the purpose of this graphic.
They are in (maybe) high quality, but the cropping that you have done for them does not look well at all.
As mentioned before, the overal theme needs to be taken into consideration for every graphic, and this is especially true for character choice.
~Overall layout 1/3
It seems like you've really just gotten a collection of images and thrown them into this graphic.
If this was meant to be a poster for a story, it's far too large, and if it was meant to be a computer wallpaper it is too small.
It makes a big difference if you choose a theme, and stick with it throughout.
Result: 4/12
Extra:
We aplogize if we do sound harsh, we are not trying to be harsh, but completley honest in this review.
Keep working hard on your graphics, and visit some tutorials to get some good ideas for yourself.
Also, try and look at some designers work to try and see how they design and try and learn from them as well.
