Well it looks pretty good to me. You've become so good at photoshop etc. that you can point out any flaw, right Almo ;D.

This didnt need to be said, its posts like this that get removed, You have already made your point on the topic so no more needs to be said.
-Almo.

 

another try:


almo read before posting:
Well so far no focal point has been sighted(care to make a tutorial for that?)
The Text was intendet to be placed where it was.
A border does eixist as you can see but still should the stroke border be erased in the upper part.
Has it got any flow?
What should be added?

 

OK not meaning to get into an arguement here.....
But do I smell censorship ?
I didn't see what the original post was though....

 

no what is there above my comment is the whole post. as you can see it didnt need to be said. graphics threads tend to get out of hand so im being super strict.

hmm the stroke around the render is odd, are you not using layers? everything you do should be done on a seperate layer. for example that sig should have no less than 5 layers, probly in this order:

1 (top). Render
2. Border
3. text
4. that yellow comb stripe
5. the BG.

get into the habit of using layers, they save you time, effort and give you a much better result. otherwise I actually dont mind the sig except for your style of render. I think it needs more detail. Your simplistic style is fine, though a bit too simple. I will try and throw together a tut for you tomorrow some time in your style.

 

you should have noticed by the shadow thrown from the left that I have used layers but there were only 4 I simply merged the whole thing using Crtl+E

 

Well, what about this one?


I didn't put in text on purpose.

 

never ever merge all your layersif you need to modify all your layers at once then simply ctrl click them all, or alternately make a new layer then go to image > apply image. This will create a snapshot of all youy layers and place it on the new layer. Its important to always keep your layers seperate just incause you need to go back and modify something.

 

It's not like I hadn't a psd version of it ready for complete failure after merging.
It's simply that sometimes I find it hard to make borders that fit.

btw was the modification of the previous sig somewhat succesful?

 

Are you people ignoring me?, i really wanna be criticized ;D
Here is it again.

 

Not bad. That won't do as an avatar nor a sig, though. As for the text (Beautiful Day, I think it reads), you can just healing brush it off.

 

'healing brush it off' try to google that ;D
Thanks anyway

 

I made this sig. for myself, i still wanna know what i can do to improve it ;D


Rating/Comments/Critique welcome ;D

 

BG is ok, though looks a little out of perspective, Render is good but doesnt blend well. Also if you intend to make a pop out sig then it should be transparent behind the render, yours is white, and even worse it has a stroked border which has been erased and looks horrible. Find yourself a pop out tut (I have a quick one written up somewhere) and follow it. Also get used to using layers and saving in .PNG (which you have). If the white in yours is because of a white BG layer (the bottom most layer) then delete it and resave as .PNG.

 

Hmm, shall try that when i get back from work :
thanks for the tips, i like them

 

Mediocre at best. Weird colors, text doesn't really match and isn't anti-aliased, background looks cut/pasted (not to mention resized improperly), stock has weird positioning and no blending or depth, and popouts are for people that don't know how to fit a stock into a standard sig size.

 

Here's my noob one guys.

 

ok.....

First off using a render (?)( and a bad one at that just look at sephs hair on the right) as a BG wasa really bad idea, it looks very very low quality and doesnt blend at all with the main renders youve chosen. Also im unsure if that C4D looking this was part of the render or if you added it, but the placement is pretty bad. Text and its placement is horrible really, download some better texts. No border, looks extremely incomplete. Perhaps this should have been a pop sig. Consider cutting it down to around 150px high, adding some blue c4ds that will match the render, add a little perspective and then with a light brush set to around 20% opac erase some of the feet and legs to blend then into the BG, adding more perspective.

 

Not how I wanted it to turn out....
(I've been thinking of making this for a while now)
but I didn't want to spend too much time on it
....I may redo-it some time in the future...

I couldn't find good colours for the text that would blend with the background....
