Alvin and I critiqued two items. The good was Little Miss Sunshine's poster and the bad was a flier given out during the IT Show 2007 period at Suntec City Convention Centre.
We discussed the aesthetics of the artwork using criteria like the Gestalt Principles.

Polished - Save the Panda!
Special thanks to Kate for spotting the patch on the right nail. It's been fixed with the Patch Tool and Spot Healing Tool.
The idea for this poster was conceptualized in her presence as well, with her valuable suggestions that led to this final product.

Which one is best? I like 1 the most, but if there's a strong enough reason to use otherwise, my decision may be swayed!
The revamp struck me in the face in the form of subtlety, because that's what pandas are (anyone know what their cries sound like?)! They are peaceful creatures and the previous top-heavy poster did not make the grade as it was anything but subtle.

Redone - Greeting Card

Decided to listen to friends' suggestions that the picture should be printed on the colour paper instead, and got this done at Sunshine Plaza, printed on 250 GSM Sky Blue Perfumed Paper. But the image's background colour didn't go well with the card's colour. Not a pleasing contrast. So there went $1. It smelt really good too!
Special thanks to Aaron for suggesting this paper, bought at NUS Co-op bookshop. It's metallic by nature and printing the photo on it using my Canon PIXMA iP1500 at max resolution made it look even better than getting it done in shops. The image's background colour blends in with this shade of blue, and the whole glistening effect achieves the effect of a golden memories of love, for older couples who have been together so long, it doesn't quite cut it to buy those passionately coloured cards when you know that the stage is long over, but you just want a card to remind your signifcant other that you still love him/her. Good to go!
