I've only really started trying to do advanced things on Photoshop so feedback would be really useful for me. Here is a design for a poster that I have done that doesn't really have any meaning, they were just results of my bored-ness over the holidays.

hi, the composition looks fine and the techniques look good however,
it seems dull... to me, way too much noise... and to low of contrast
when i think of space i think things are clear and colorfull... and sharp.. |

I see both the point and the effect of the noise, but it may be applied just a little heavy handedly in this case. Subject and theme all OK, just the aforementioned.

hi,
your welcome....
i was curious why any noise at all? now another thing and this is subjective..
that bright sun spot... dominate the image along with the fact that the rest of the image and the light overpowers all the objects and that sun rivits your attention would it be better to tone down that brightness and the sun where the eyes would be drawn to the other objects and not to the sun? |

Well regarding the noise I felt that it helped it look a bit retro which is, in the end, what I was going for. As for the light, I'll try toning it down, I just felt that the image lacked a main focus point |

For the most part, I like the poster. I think you are right about it needing a focal point; the sun spot is a great addition. I agree with others, though, in that it is a bit overdone with the noise effect. |
