Hi!

As I said in the introduction part of the forum, I have to make some graphic designs for my college. Some stuff I already did, but some are yet to be done.

This picture below was made as a front cover for a monography for my college. It actually wasn't accepted because it was "too artistic"... whatever that means. The sea is on the picture because the color of the college is blue and the logo looks like it has two sails.

So fire away with comments...

The elements do not blend well and I do not have an idea what it is about. Maybe you need to make the text stand out since I guess you want to give it a clean look.

I guess the text is a bit unreadable, It could be biger and stand out more against the background. The hands with the tiny object seems bit
too small for all the image.
Good work otherwise

maybe try bigger logo. a lot bigger, and also not diagonal. the hand could include a wrist, gushing out from the water. the ghostly hand is a bit confusing.

Im pretty much a student and newbie. An advice i read is 'dont be a wimp in deciding on the message'. or something like that. I usually only half-heartedly put things as if with no conviction. I tend to fade things and thats the impression it gives.

You need to explain why you have that sea and hand n stuff, 'cuz it really does leave us - the viewers - clueless as to whats happening in that composition there. If could tell us in detail then it would be easier for us to relate.

Good Luck
