Your graphic (url): http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr337/brattyness/poster4.jpg
------
~Colour/Color 2/3 Hm, what can I say? Well you can never go wrong with black and/or white. I don't understand why you have a red heart because Minho is the only person that matches it. Unless you were trying to make Minho stand out, the red was unnecessary because it makes the graphic a little unbalanced. I understand that hearts are supposed to be red, but then how come the hearts on the “Key” are gray? I notice a blue hue to your poster. It creates a nice, dramatic look.
~Font 2.5/3 I deducted half a point because the title is uncapitalized. Capitalization gives the poster a better creditability. I mean you would not want for others to look down on you for poor language usage. It's very easy to read and nicely placed. I especially love the hearts on the word “Key” because they make it special. Usually, I would suggest for you to make the title stand out; however, since the background is black, lighter text can already stand out. Adding special effects to the fonts is only a possiblity, fot it isn't a must.
~Image Suitability 2/3
All of the images seems right. There's not complaining of the cropping of the pictures. One thing I might add is that the background of the main picture is affecting the overall look. I don't know how your graphic designing program works because I'm not familiar with it, but are you able to cover up the background popping out from her head? The blue background works for key's picture because his proportional is small while the background evens things out. Her picture on the other hand, is covered in black...everywhere but there?
~Overall layout 2/3
You layout is very simple, but it still works. I mean I can create the same layout on paint if I wanted too, but that program's limited in picture effects. I can't tell if the overall mood was meant to be sad, happy, romance, etc. Is it romantic? I usually associate black with death or mystery, but somehow I'm getting feelings of the mood being romantic. A romantic/dramatic feeling does not need that bright heart. If it's a cute/comedic mood, then yes...go for the heart. Don't try to add things just because you feel like something is missing. Add it when it is absolutely necessary or when it pulls everything together.
Result: 8.5/12
Extra:
Again, I'm not familiar with your programs so I really can't give you tips and hints on photoshop. Honestly, even though the poster isn't very advanced (in terms of designing skills/ability), it's simplicity definitely makes it lean towards a professional look. I'm very impressed this isn't done on an expensive program.
