    Quality-wise this is not hitting the mark. I appreciate your submission, though.

    Here is the revision with improved resolution. I tried to compress the image, to avoid the difficulty uploading it on this platform. This was why the output reduced a bit in quality. The original file in my system is100% ok, quality and resolutionwise.

    My concern is not with the resolution, rather the quality of the content / fonts / overall display of the text is not intriguing. The brain looks out of place, as if it doesn’t fit. Just my 2 cents.

    I like where you are going with this. But this is obviously AI. The words do not correlate with the images. Please resubmit your design with actual words that correlate with the images and have them relate to the theme. There is also overlapping of icons on her arms.

    Going forward, I would advise against using AI for submissions.

    @E4C1 Thank you for your feedback.
    You are right about the icon and brain image, I generated them using AI.
    However, the overall concept is original. I have revised it with a different center point concept.
    Hope you like it!

    This is quality work! Thank you. Aside from spelling "exercise" this is a nice, fresh take.

    Thankyou for the kind words! I truly appreciate it!
    I have updated the original mockups to fix the spelling error, my apologies!
