Improvements: Although I really liked shapes (squiggly line across the night sky) used in this project, you could go more out of the box with the colors/theme and change up the font. The "Stellar Spoofer" has a very fun, thicker, and overall larger font than the one used for the description. I believe the color is different as well, but if that is the purchase button on the site, keep it as is so the customers are attracted to it. Regarding the smaller font used to describe the development team, it may be beneficial to enlarge the font a bit to cover more ground/easier to view. In relation to the colors, there's a lot of aspects to space, such as nebulas/planets/etc that you could've used as the colors. I understand the theme related to believing hence to make people purchase the service, which is why I believe the background choice was smart (man staring up at the stars, second image;bottom left). There were many other colors you could use though, such as those in a nebula/planet/light colors. Space is one of the most complex worlds we know of, which is why I believe the color scheme you used was cliche'. The remainder of your projects, aside from the weather machine, also consisted of darker colors, which is why I feel this may have been a missed opportunity. Not to say this isn't a great project because it most certainly is, however, there are aspects that could appeal more to the viewer.

All project overview: Your current projects are all really amazing, I believe your gym one was likely the best. It really sells the "fit" aspect and you use each photo in a smart way. In celebrity photos, sexy photos of males are typically pictured in black and white. (I am not crushing on a photograph, I swear) I saw this on your project, and since many clients looking to be fit or appear beautiful, they'll tie the knots together and think, "that celeb did a photo just like that, so I'll look like that". However, all of your current projects relate to color schemes that I feel are relatively "safe". Meaning you know they look good. Dark monotone colors will go well (gym), but black and yellow (popular color scheme) also go well. In the project "Lorem Ipsum", you used blue and orange, which although used quite a bit, is more out of the box. The space theme was also a pretty safe project as mostly only white, black, and cool colors were used. Lastly, the weather machine site was pink and white, which are both sooting colors but every color matches with white.

I wish you the best of luck with your portfolio and future graphic design service! Unfortunately, I don't have any sites to share, which may be good luck because by providing funkier and more creative color schemes, you have something original to take to the table.

Thank you, the StellarDev project was a lot harder to do that the others due to the limited amount of input I was given, but I believe it came out pretty well. The input I was given for this was dark space theme so I worked with it. The Spoofer is one of their images already made so I picked out some colours to use.

I really enjoyed making the gym one as I am personally into building muscle and working out so I had a lot of passion for it.

Thank you again, really appreciate the time you took to give this feedback for me.

Not sure if this is a school work or paid commission so its hard the give a critical feedback.
But overall I would say you need to use the grid system as too many things are misaligned.
Not just the designs on Behance but also your signature, they feel like you just try to place it in and make it look nice.

StellarDev was a paid commission but the rest are just my own work that I've got on with in my own time.

The allignment is fine, I check it all in Adobe XD once I have finished.

I am not sure how you align them but aside from the corner to corner is aligned the rest seems to be just all over the place.
You can take a look into grid system it really helps alot.
Aside from that you can look into visual hierarchy.

Edit: feel free to correct me as I may be wrong too

When you add the lines your right, I was meaning everything inside is aligned to each other. Need to get my grid sorted

Thank you.
