Theres nothing really to say about it. The poster is basically just a box with a graphic grabbed off the web slapped on it's front face. The crate is a little better in terms of practice, but it doesn't show anything about what you did to create it. Did you actually UV Map the crate? Or just assign the textures to each of it's faces? UV Mapping is a needed skill in the 3D world. The same question goes for the poster. Did you actually model the crate? Can we see a wireframe of the crate and poster to make sure you're not using a really high poly box when you dont need to be?

Take the concept of the crate and poster, and work it into a composition. Remodel the crate to be a cardboard box, with it's top open, and cardboard flaps on the side. Try to make the box look a little aged by adding some deformation to it's sides. Not too much, just an impression of it being kicked or dropped a few times. Work with a texture that isn't tiled over the entire box, but instead is custom-designed for each side (the bottom might have some water damage to it, the handles might be worn out, there might be a FRAGILE phrase on one side of it, or a THIS SIDE UP phrase, etc. ).

Then move on to the poster. Flesh it out a bit more, poster's generally aren't rigid like that. Maybe model a few variations of poster models with different bends in them, and then a model of a rolled up poster. Take all of these models, texture them with different poster textures, and put them inside the cardboard box.

Keep everything low poly enough, and you can save the model in a safe place that you can later on possibly sell in the TGC Store as an entity for FPSC, when you get skilled enough and go through the process of learning how to get models ready for FPSC.

So your new to 3D modeling and You bought a $3,000 program? Or did you use the demo? I'm not accusing you of anything, Just want to know

As ruccus said, The poster's just a image and the box is just a cube with the faces extruded in.

I think you should look at some tutorials

anyway a friend of mine thought it would be a good idea i try modeling so i used his computer system to give it a try. also, that work i originally made the 3 boxes and poster thing was some practice to learn more about the program (modeling studio)

anyway i'll look into some of the tutorials.
