Death row
You've successfully found the beauty in decay, exactly as you intended. The rigorous symmetry and striking color palette elevate this soon-to-be-demolished structure into a compelling graphic study. Correcting a minor perspective distortion will make the geometry truly flawless.
What's Working
- ✓The flat, symmetrical composition turns the repeating arches into a strong visual rhythm.
- ✓The teal and peach color palette adds a nostalgic, cinematic feel that perfectly suits the 'outdated' theme.
- ✓The inclusion of the temporary fence effectively communicates the narrative of impending demolition.
Room to Grow
- Slight perspective distortion causes the vertical pillars on the far left and right to lean inward.low
- The large expanse of empty sky at the top slightly dilutes the focus on the building's textures.low
Category Scores
✓ Rigorous, flat-on symmetry emphasizes the architectural pattern
→ The amount of negative space in the sky slightly overpowers the structure
✓ Hard, direct sunlight creates defined shadows that emphasize the depth of the arches
✓ The teal sky and faded peach/pink facade create a striking complementary color scheme
✓ The barrier fence instantly communicates the 'about to be torn down' narrative
✓ Sharp focus across the entire facade
→ Slight perspective distortion causes the outer vertical pillars to lean inward
✓ Applying a stylized aesthetic to a decaying mall is a fresh take
Your Action Plan
Top Actions
- 1Apply a slight vertical perspective correction to make the outer pillars perfectly straight
- 2Experiment with a 16:9 or panoramic crop to reduce the sky and emphasize the horizontal span of the building

Your style reminds me of...
Matthias Heiderich
Your use of flat, symmetrical framing and pastel-leaning, complementary colors to turn architecture into a graphic pattern is very reminiscent of Heiderich's work.
