I'm still working on my first ten submissions, but I'd like to ask for some feedback to make sure I'm on the right track. Any critique or advice is much appreciated!

I'm attaching 8 files for now -- hoping to finish the others over the weekend.

thanks for your time :)

(last 3)

Regarding the dancers, I'm not sure what the best way to arrange them would be.

Thanks again!

Ohh...I'm afraid you can get "too simple".

A definite too simple on the first three. A possible too simple on all the others apart from the dancers. You should be safe with it, but if you can put a couple more on that file, you'll be safer (if these were uploaded as a single batch I might be tempted to "too simple" that one.)

I have to agree with mjak and theohrm, you will probably get a 'too simple' rejection.

If these designs are the best that you are submitting then I suggest you find a local college and take a course in order to get your skill level turned up a notch or two.

I'm not suggesting the above in a nasty way, I myself took a course in order to get more comfortable and experience with the software I was using (illustrator) and from there I built up my skill level.

Good luck.

I agree with what has been said... I think the lanterns do stand a chance but they would look better with shadows, and gradients... the dancers?...not sure... I would suggest you follow Toots excellent advice...

The dancers I like, great concept. This is the only one I would say put forward for your first 10. Look at our ports to get an idea of what is being accepted.
