I'd rather give you suggestions and let you do the editing  :crazy:

First of all, you need to tweak the palette; you have a lot of whit there that is overly-vibrant. MAybe:

1. Work some greys in there to give it some shape, which in tun makes it a little more understandable to the eyes (at least more understandable than a solid white shape burning a hole through the plane)

or

2. Adjusting your white to be either a slightly-grayed white or an off-white, both of which would be much easier on the eyes.


Also make sure to center your text -- right now it seems squished.

Along with shadows make sure to try and use highlights.

**Designate a light source, and make it apparent to the viewer!

And dont be afraid to work with colors that are desaturated; it helps add to realism.

Since you said so.  I still play cassettes sometimes. :crazy:


The main thing I noticed is the proportions were off.  Both overall size and positions of things inside, such as the place where the pins go and the reels, etc.  I know there are variations of labels, so that could be anything.  I didn't change any colors or mess with the shading much, but that would go a long way depending if you wanted it to look like a diagram or something more artistic.

Anyway, I had to play with it since you said so.  :D

Will you be taking their thoughts and ideas into consideration and making an edit to your piece accordingly? I only ask since I have yet to see you update a piece from all the threads that you've made - it makes it seem like you're not using this forum to improve your pieces but rather to simply showcase them. I suggest you spend some time on a single piece of work, using the people here to help you as you go along - you will learn a lot in the process.
