Effort: 2/2 - Yeah.
Look: 2.25/3 - You’re new, as you said, so I’ll try and give you some good advice here, this does need some help though. The BG is actually pretty, nice use of stocks and it goes well with the burnt film look on the edges. Not sure what’s going on with the starburst though, it seems like it should add lighting but it doesn’t. Get some curves adjustments in there to bring the light in. The main issue I have though is the text. It stands out way too much and is distracting from the render which is supposed to be the main focus. Bring it in closer to the render and use stocks to blend it rather than having it be such a bright blue.
Creativity: 1/1 - I’ll give you this.
Total: 5.25/6
