Another first sig ever

[Caelum]

Bear in mind that I only "acquired" Photoshop CS3 a few days ago, and only messed around with the screenshot a bit (most signatures I use are altered screenshots from one game or another)

I've never before altered a graphical thingy (That is, with the exception of just resizing a picture and putting words on it) with a computer in my life, suck at doing it in real life, and have never used any tutorials:P


Comments, tips, etc anyone?;)

Very artistic but lacks a central focus point.

[teschy]

Interesting, but a bit too abstract for my taste:)

[13CentKiller]

Cool.

I like how the Talon mixes into the background.

Makes it look like its being dissolved into a cloud. Maybe some interesting text to go on the top?:)

Looks nice, but there's nothing to concentrate on, as Gabrielle said. If it's gonna be a sig, put some text in front of it with a name or something:laugh:

THEY TOLD ME I COULD BE ANYTHING SO I BECAME A SIGNATURE PLS HLP

Sorry, don't like it. Cool snip of scenery (Islay cloud?), but there's no border, no focus, nothing else than then the BG. Then it looks like there's a smudge stick effect, then a plastic wrap one.

Too busy, needs more simplicity on what already is there, then addition in text, renders, etc.

Keep it up, though.

[Magoo!]

Like they said, needs... More... Emphasis!

Weird in a cool way though.

[AdamantineFist]

Aye. Needs more. Right now, It's pretty much just a background.

Thanks for the feedback folks, it's appreciated.

In response to Orin, no, not Islay cloud. Not too shabby a guess though, The Badlands;)

I'll post a v2 in this topic when I get to it tonight:)

This picture looks like a basic screenshot with a lot of filters slapped on it.

Try less filters, maybe a gradient instead and work on composition and focus. Actually, 'simple' doesn't have to be bad.

Basically, using the same rules as for photography is a good idea when it comes to graphic design (i.e. rule of thirds, depth of field, correct focus, correct lighting, correct composition...)
