Gift Card Design Contest Rating Options

For Citibank members..

I saw the contest about an hour ago, and worked on it straight through for about an hour. It probably won't win, but it was fun designing it.

Looks very clean and professional, like the colours a lot too. Initial idea is nice I'd have to say.

However, I'd probably suggest you to tweak with the composition a bit because everything looks just a bit too big and a bit too centred. I would probably take the topmost...leaf thing and either make it either wider or narrower, since right now it ends just at the border of the card, making it a bit abrupt. I think it would look better if the leaf either stopped short of the edge or went well over it. I hope that made sense.

Also, the white space in the design looks a little cramped, like you tried to get rid of as much white space as possible by making the leaf-things as large and as centred as possible. Maybe try displacing the entire leaf-thing to one of the corners or make it smaller so there's more white space and a bit more visual interest.

(I keep referring to those things as "leaves" so I'd really appreciate it if you elaborated on your design concept so I can call them by a proper name lol. Thanks)

I hope you know that I wouldn't go through that much trouble of constructively criticizing if I didn't acknowledge that your design is nice to begin with.
