Michael Jackson Tribute Poster

The design effectively uses a collage of iconic images and album covers, creating a rich visual narrative that celebrates Michael Jackson's legacy. However, the text overlay is somewhat hard to read due to its placement and low contrast, and there is a slight clutter that could be improved with clearer spacing and hierarchy.

    Low contrast in bottom text quote

    Major
    Color & Contrast
    The Problem
    The white text at the bottom left over a light yellow/tan gradient background has insufficient contrast and is difficult to read, likely below WCAG AA standards for normal text.
    Why it Matters
    Users with visual impairments or in bright environments may struggle to read this important quote text.
    How to Fix
    Increase contrast by darkening the background behind the text or changing the text color to a darker shade. Adding a semi-transparent dark overlay behind the text can also improve readability.

    Quote Text at Bottom Too Small

    Major
    Content Readability & Clarity
    The Problem
    The quote text at the bottom left corner appears small and thin with low contrast against the background, making it likely difficult to read especially for users with visual impairments.
    Why it Matters
    Small, low contrast text reduces readability and user comprehension, potentially causing users to miss important or inspirational content.
    How to Fix
    Increase the font size of the quote text and improve contrast by using a darker or more opaque color against the light background.

    Inconsistent Text Styles in Title

    Moderate
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The main title 'MICHAEL' is in a bold, block sans-serif font while 'jackson' is in a cursive, script-like font, causing a visual style clash.
    Why it Matters
    Mixing very different font styles in a single title can confuse users about the hierarchy and reduce the overall aesthetic cohesion.
    How to Fix
    Choose either a consistent font style for the full title or find two complementary fonts with a clear relationship that harmonizes well visually.

    Misaligned Album Cover Cards

    Moderate
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The album covers are arranged at various tilted angles and positions that do not align with a common grid, causing a chaotic visual flow.
    Why it Matters
    Misaligned elements disrupt user focus, making it difficult to scan images efficiently and reducing overall perceived design quality.
    How to Fix
    Align album covers either to a grid or a consistent centered baseline while maintaining creative overlap to improve visual order.

    Low contrast in stylized 'jackson' text

    Moderate
    Color & Contrast
    The Problem
    The black, cursive 'jackson' text overlaps the dark 'MICHAEL' text and some parts of the background causing parts of the word to blend in and reduce legibility.
    Why it Matters
    Reduced legibility of the artist's name can impair quick recognition and comprehension in the title area.
    How to Fix
    Add a solid or semi-transparent background behind 'jackson', or change the text color to a lighter shade or add a stronger text-outline/shadow to increase differentiation from background elements.

    Competing Styles in Main Title Reduce Clarity

    Moderate
    Content Readability & Clarity
    The Problem
    The main title uses two very different fonts and styles ('MICHAEL' in large block letters and 'jackson' in a smaller cursive script) that partially overlap. This generates visual clutter and makes it unclear how to prioritize or read the text.
    Why it Matters
    Lack of clear visual hierarchy in the title can confuse users on how to read or interpret the name, reducing the visual impact and clarity of the main heading.
    How to Fix
    Consider using consistent styles or clearer separation between the two parts of the name, or layer them so they do not overlap ambiguously.

    Inconsistent Border Styles on Images

    Moderate
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    Some images have bright yellow rounded borders with shadow, while others have subtle white glows or no consistent border effect.
    Why it Matters
    Inconsistent border styles reduce the unity of the image group and can make the design look unfinished or uncoordinated.
    How to Fix
    Apply a uniform border style across all images with consistent color, thickness, and shadow for visual harmony.

    Misaligned Quote Text in Lower Left

    Minor
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The quote text at bottom left is left-aligned but appears too close to the left edge and not aligned to any other major elements, with inconsistent spacing between lines.
    Why it Matters
    Poor alignment can make reading difficult and reduce perceived visual polish.
    How to Fix
    Align the quote text block to a grid or margin consistent with other page elements, and adjust line spacing for improved readability.
