Month of Choice: January

I chose January because it means the end of Winter break, but the beginning of heavy snow and ice storms in Kansas. The ice is beautiful, although extremely thick and causes power outages. Winter is also my second favorite season.



Improvement:




Critique:

I love your design but I think it doesn't blend together well, it sort of clashes. There is also a bit much going on, and not enough small details to bring it all together. Here is my suggestion. Take a few mutations off and add more shades/hues of red and green to add those little details.

Original



Critique

before I add my change I thought I would ask your opinion on something. On one hand I did darken the brown a bit and added more teal but on the other I actually added more khaki and teal. I would love to know which one you think is better.

I'm going to opt out on this one. I'm pretty busy this week, I hope I can join next weeks challenge though!

January

Nothern Lights Ryori


_{The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. Variations in color are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. 'Aurora borealis', the lights of the northern hemisphere, means 'dawn of the north'.}

Critque
I wouldnt really change anything accept the depth of it because it seems too light...

I cant change it myself because im in a hurry rn... sorry!

Sure thing on. See you next week.:-)

Very nice start hon, I do like that.

All you have to do now is critique's pickles. Remember to copy paste his design, and then make a duplicate of it with your own suggestions so he can better understand what you believe he could improve on. Make sure you PINGed him in your original post or otherwise PING him a heads up once you have it in your design post for him to see.

Then you will need to read whatever Katz has to say about your design when she gets that up. At that point you will recreate your own design with the suggestions, and place the altered design next to the original so we can see the changes you made.

Once those areas have been tackled, your design post will have met all the requirements.

Katz, don't forget with in your design post to post your critique on Koterfaye's design. You will in your own post post a copy of her design, recreate it on your own with your suggested improvements so she can see what it is you mean that could be improved on. Posting outside of the design post does not count, and you will have to do this step otherwise you will not meet that requirement. All requirements are a must,but you still have time so no worries there.

Then you will need to visit the next designer that posts after you. They should PING you about it with their critique like you did for Koterfaye. In that aspect, you will need to recreate your own design again with their suggestions of improvement and place it next to the original so we can see the changes you made visibly.

Once those 2 areas are addressed, your design post will have met all of the requirements for this challenge.

Let me know when you have made those changes hon with your fellow designer. Remember to put a copy of the altered design into your original post. That way I can add you to the Entries Thus Far post as being complete.
