Air Gear Skin

Whoa, another Air Gear piece!

So first off, I'm really glad to see that you're so energetic about submitting on here. It's great when new members come along and aren't afraid to get involved on the scene. You've got a natural eye for things, and you aren't afraid to work with colors that really pop too. You chose a good vector to work with as well and I really like that you kept your description minimal and yet there's plenty of detail for us to work off of.

So big thing, I like the positioning of Ringo. I think you did a spot on job of lining her up so that she looks like she's sitting on that bench-type platform that you created. The positioning also looks very natural and I like how she dominates more of the right side while leaving plenty of room for icons as well. I also like how you took that into account with your background design and that you weren't afraid of using vibrant colors that have pop to them. Looking at this piece first, I wasn't too sure how it would fit but the more I look at it the more I like it. It's bright, but with the text and Ringo it really helps, along with the fact that not all the colors you used have such a intensity to them. I also really like the positioning of the typography as well. Giving it a background was also a really nice idea, as the lines help to add a design to the background itself. Overall, a rather simple but effective design.

However, in the same regards to liking the background I also can't help but to feel that the green feels a little too intense when staring at it for awhile. Maybe something that was a lighter version of the lollipop that Ringo has might work a bit better, but I can't help but to feel that lime green brings this intensity that almost feels slightly overwhelming. However, that simply could be me. Also, while I really like the typography I'm not too sure about how I feel about the text itself used. It's hard to get a feel on the style of the piece and finding a typeface to match it must of been extremely difficult for you. While this is definitely a nice improvement over your previous piece I still can't help but to feel as if it's a bit off for the style. Perhaps the typeface itself, of the choice of color used for the background and the type itself.

Overall, I like it. It's bold and isn't afraid to be what it is, while still embracing a simplistic nature. It's also complimented by Ringo having those dark blues and yellows to go with that light of your piece. Ultimately though, it is well done! You should be proud!
