Graphic 1 - 1/7 - I don't like being too harsh, but when I look at the rubric, this is sadly the pure definition of minimalistic. There is some premade text (Peanuts logo), some additional text, a low quality render and a low quality football. What I think this truly lacks is... design concept. It feels more like this gfx was made for the sole purpose of just submitting something, vs actually taking the time to place everything percisely, add some extra blending tools & effects, textures, etc. Simple is sometimes good, but also sometimes just... too simple.
Graphic 2 - 2/7 - I do like this one a bit more, as I feel more effort was applied to the graphic. Now for me, the effort comes more in cutting and pasting stuff into the graphic but I can at least see it flow a bit better than the one above, it is a bit more precise. Where this one lost points for me (to keep it at a '2') is that it's just some images kind of thrown together to make the gfx, there is really no blending to them, no texture use (plain background, no lighting, no effects). So while it's a little more full than the one above, I now want to see you expand into making it feel more... complete?
