Awesome poster! There's a few spelling mistakes in the form of mis-typed letters. "200-" and "roster".

200- refers to it being 2000 and something as the date isn't known and there's nothing wrong with roster.

They saw that Portal takes place sometimne around 2010 12 years after the place was locked down. Wiuth that being a rough estimation, 2000 could likely be correct.

The poster is a cool concept, the execution just needs some tweaking. Like, her name is quite close to the edges, as well as the copy. Try copy-fitting the text to make somewhat near a perfect box, or opening up the leading so it's not too tight.

This one was a test in something a bit different compared to my usual ones

I was looking at your work, I think it's really brilliant, there's just a few things here and there.
(sorry, my designer side it nitpicking just like my instructors do)
Do you mind If I show you what I'm saying?

Here's a link to a replica of your work (sorry if it kinda sucks): [link]
The typography needed a bit a grooming here and there. What I did was justify the text so it'd be equal throughout the entire body copy. This makes it more aesthetically pleasing and is more suitable for the space that was provided.
I made the text area a tad bigger so that the body copy had more breathing room so that the spacing didn't seem odd.
The "Chicago" style that you used for the GLaDOS nameplate was a bit hard to read, so what I did was turned her name the proper way for easy legibility. Also, the name is tuck slightly behind her head for effect.
I took the liberty to take out the underline for "History" and "Statistics" because they seemed unnecessary. When you play with placement, like I did for the remake, the viewer's eyes use trigger a thing called "Gestalt," which means the eyes see lines that aren't necessarily there. "History" lines up with the bolt on the side of GLaDOS, whereas "Statistics" lines up with the inside of the stem of "a" in her name.
A lot of the elements in your poster where competing for attention because some of the items were the same size. If you look at the aperture logo on your poster, it's roughly the same size as GLaDOS' head, on the remake I shrunk it so that the competition was taken out. Because the logo is a bold black colour, it did not need the extra size to make it visible.
(sorry this is running on long
The way you had the copy for the statistics seemed odd in many places. What I did was lined everything up by their colons ( : ) This gives it a more professional look and is commonly used by designers to make lists like that look neater.
Lastly, Independent was spelled incorrectly. I caught that as I was finishing up typing the entire body copy.
I hope this helps you become a better designer, and I hope I wasn't mean or anything, I just wanted to help a fellow designer

Sorry it took so long to reply my computer was broken and i wasn't going to do all this typing on my phone.
That looks really good the problem i always seem to have is typography i never feel it's "right" and my stuff always seems a bit raw/unrefined. I'm still learning about graphic design (starting college soon in the UK) so this has been a big help and i appreciate the time you took to help me. If it's not much of a hassle i wouldn't mind having the PSD for it

No worries! My computer is down too
You have good layout skills just, like you said, they're raw/unrefined. You'll definitely get the hang of it and catch on quick when you start school
Soon as I can I will send you the .PSD file for you.

P.S. We all have our typo days
