I made these three sigs for SOTW in another designing union. Figured I would post them here too to see what you guys think of them.

All have the same problems, effects and BG are very LQ.

They're messy.

Don't push text into corners OR edges ;_;

Look at Loggens sig, that a good example of well placed text

Yup, usually, the best places to put text are next to the shoulders of the render.

Do not overuse the splatter brushes and if you like them so much usually it's better to be near the render as well.

1st: The render is way ovesharpened and you could reduce the splatters as I said and add some c4ds in Screen mode. Colors are just ok.

2nd: In this sig there are blue, red, yellow, purple, white, black, in random places around it. Also there is a big empty space which could be filled with effects, or moving the render more to the middle.

3rd: My favorite of those 3. The purple on the render seems too oversaturated and makes it less blended with the rest sig.

You are in a good way of improvement. Keep it up ;)

@loggens - Oh ok, :P kind of funny I will try and do more effects and it is to much. I do to little and then it is too simple. :lol: @Dudersaper - Well should I maybe save my sigs as JPG files instead of PNG like I always do? Here is what I used..I don't get how they can be LQ...I mean scaling them down might do that but there is no way of bringing them back to HQ is there? :? http://i49.tinypic.com/2uivosn.jpghttp://i47.tinypic.com/2a7hf7b.pnghttp://i50.tinypic.com/wjgm5f.jpg @Jason - I get what you are saying about the splatter brushes. With the first sig I was trying to get Altier to pop out more so that is why he is over sharpened. And I can't move the stock to far over with the second one, :P just check out the stock in the second link up above. But I am glad to hear I am making some kind of progress. :)

Saving them as png is the way to go, don't save as jpg.

When resizing use the 4 steps of resizing

Resize

duplicate layer

sharpen

decrese opacity to 80%

 

and your effects are what's making them LQ

1. I like the pic you used for the focal, but I don't think the colors you used worked that well for it, and I do think there might be just a little too many splatters in there :P But you live and you learn

2. Now, this one is good, don't get me wrong, but there is just too many colors and things going on it it :? It makes my fragile brain go BOOM! And are those stairs towards the middle in the background?

3. I do really like this one, the only thing about it is text

Oh, and don't forget about the text in the other 2 sigs as well love, but overall great job as usual, you know I love your work ;)

1. *sigh* I can never seem to get the colors right of AC sigs...Oh well and yeah I might have over did it a bit. :| 2. No those are not stairs, those are the city buildings. If you remember in Bleach in Ichigo's inner world everything is on it's side that is the city in the background. ;) I posted the stock image I used in my second message I posted in the thread 3. Oh is it to small or do you not like where I put it?

Oh ok I get the Ichigo sig now then :P Sorry bout that

and yeah, the placement is what is off with the text on all of them, I thought that the font matched the sigs good though, but that was just my opinion, I suck at text so yeah :P

Oh I stink at text too, I wish you didn't have to put it in there. But of course if you don't people can steal your stuff.

What do you guys think of my current sig that I made?? I actually used Jason's tutorial. But I didn't use a render I used a stock to make the sig. I thought it turned out rather nice. Any other comments though?

It's okay, just a bit dull and he stands out too much compared to the BG, and you blurred the BG too much so depth looks messed a bit.

Text is meh.

Rest looks good. I actually like it :)

the third one is fine, though. just the text that i didn't like.

you have to make the colors fit the theme. for example, your current sig is actually pretty good (although the text is kinda hard to read)
