Let me just start off by saying that I really loved this picture c:
The title and the image itself really spoke a lot to me.

Now for the vision, you're picture fit really well with its theme, but the words in back of it, threw me off a bit. I see the words in the back of the lies to be the truth, but if you're too add such a thing, you should make it stand out a bit. I had a bit of a hard time trying to read both the lie and the truth.

For the originality I think you did a pretty good job, you don't really see too many pictures with the truth and the lies.

For the technique, I think you could have used a better technique to make this picture and its statements stand out a lot more.

Finally, for the impact, I think this picture makes a pretty big statement and the impact was well done.

Nice Job And Keep Up The Good Work!~

I believe this was very...insightful. You have a very realistic viewpoint on everyday lies. Most things you write are very relatable, for most of us have been there. Although this may be a cold splash of reality to most everyone, it's also something people need to see. It's very orginal, makes everyone who didn't think of it want to kick themselves. It's a type of negative-postive, if that makes sense. Might make someone feel bad things, or make someone feel good things. Might even change someone's perspective on certain things. Whatever the case may be, you did a really good job.

First critique but I feel really drawn to this peice.

Vision: The white on black makes it pop more, but doesn't distract from the actual words. It's a little difficult to see the text behind the Lies, but that is obviously the point, and the choices of font reflects the right tone to read in. However I feel it might be a bit too difficult to read in some places, so 4/5.

Originality: I've seen things like this, the whole "what I say, what I mean", but the originality of how you have presented this - the Lies and the truth at the same time, and not as much sexism as a lot of these things aha - gives you the high score 4.5/5.

Technique: As said above, the technique is unique, but the reading difficulty and the positions of the words may make it seem a bit rushed, so I've given 3.5/5.

Impact: The whole reason I'm here is because I saw it on the front page and it caught my eye; as I said above, I'm drawn to this peice, and the more I look at it the more I like it. There is a personal impact as well; who hasn't said they were fine when they weren't? But the simplistic colours can remove some of eye drawing...ness, and there's an uneven amount of black space, which as said before, may seem a bit rushed. But still, a good score of 4.5/5.

Overall 16.5/20, a lovely piece and fave from me ^^

(Sorry for any spelling mistakes)

I love how this is all true. Behind all those statements is a thought that is very different, even though the person that we are talking to doesn't realize it. Sad but horribly truthful. Oh, and I love the design.

I love the depth in this art. It reminds me clearly, that we look at art and forget to listen, as the artist, no dount, always includes the sound of his true feelings in his work. Listening is good in so many ways, thank you for trying to show this to all

This is very interesting piece, the only critique I have is that the worlds behind the "I hate you" Saying "I don't know what to say" Is that the 'what' is missing an 'a'.
This is a sad piece and reminds me of some problems my friend is going through right now, and she's not saying what's wrong, so this reminded me of her a lot.
The words behind it are placed very well, still understandable but hard enough to see where it made me realize that's just like how it's hard to see people's true meanings behind their words.
Oops, there I go again rambling.
Anyways, cool piece. Kept me from faving and running
