CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY & THEME — going with making a vector was a good idea, really, for it's not something people will expect when looking forward to a sci-fi cover! so thank you for taking up that challenge. however, even if the idea was ingenious, it kind of didn't work out with the elements you surrounded the vector with. the blue flare didn't fit with the visual of the vector, so it looked awkward all in all. also, we'd like to ask why the model's wearing a sweater? we were hinting for a dystopian theme in this graphic, so the model wearing a sweater didn't make much sense. kudos for your concept, though!!
TECHNICAL WORK — the typography is good, actually. i think you had problems with the placing of it, since it left the bottom part empty and was too aligned to the top right side. also, we didn't like how it was too faded out, and as said previously, the blue flare was kind of unclear though we do have an idea that it was a galaxy or a star, which fits the prompt, so good job! but it looked random, so it couldn't really pull off the color scheme. it's definitely good that you stayed consistent on your color palette, though!
OVERALL WORK — to sum it up this is a wonderful concept and we appreciate the originality very much! the colors are cohesive, so yes, we love that. there are quite a few flaws on the technicalities, but that could be worked on! it's also great that you delivered this with a good image quality. thank you for joining, you did a great job!
