Positive hat

Your images meet the brief and I can read everything easily.

Critical hat

There's a lack of contrast in your menu so I can't read the text very well.

Emotional hat

One picture you've used made me hungry, but another made me queasy.

Creative Hat

I've made the background transparent, on yours that would improve the contrast of the text.
