I’m going to be honest because that’s more useful than being polite.

Right now the biggest issue is legibility and hierarchy. There are too many competing type styles (script, serif, sans, outlined, italic, Korean + English, repeated lines at top and bottom), and none of them clearly lead the eye. It feels visually crowded rather than intentionally layered.

The bottom type in particular feels disconnected, the scale, spacing, and placement don’t relate to the rest of the composition, so it reads more like an afterthought than a design decision.

I’d suggest:

  • Reduce the number of typefaces (max 2, maybe 3 with clear roles).
  • Establish a strong hierarchy: what should we read first? Right now nothing clearly wins.
  • Increase contrast (either in scale, weight, or colour).
  • Reconsider the repeated border text — it’s adding noise rather than structure.
  • Align elements more deliberately; at the moment they feel placed rather than composed.
  • There’s a concept here (pixel hearts + layered type + soft pink gradient), but it needs restraint and clearer typographic control to feel intentional.

The main issue isn’t the bottom type it’s hierarchy and legibility overall. Too many type styles are competing, so nothing leads. Strip it back, reduce fonts, define a clear focal point, and rebuild with structure.

thank for your feedback. i def got kind of carried away with fonts haha
is the new haas grotesk font working? should i keep the large ornate “H”? i only outlined stuff bc it was hard to read against the background and didnt wanna make it black bc i was trying to go for a softer feel

Well what do you think? Have a look at it, and look at other KPop posters… do you really think it’s acceptable?

I like the colours, this makes harmony also the letters but the Korean letters … I don’t know the meaning. Is the same phrase as to bottom ? why didn’t you put them together ?
