So hey guys, I haven't touched Photoshop in a long time, and I decided to attempt a new forum signature. Here it is, please give me some advice / tips! 🙂

<br /><br />-- Tue Nov 05, 2013 9:52 pm --<br /><br />Alright, so in the past few hours, I've worked a little more and came out with two other versions...


Version 2


Version 3

Since you haven't played with graphics in a while, I won't be too harsh 😛 I like the general idea you were trying to create here, however I don't think your focal fits well with the background you definitely need to work on some blending techniques to make that happen. You main font is entirely too big for this kind of signature and very hard on the eyes. However, with that said I do see potential so KIU!

I like Version 2 the best, but as has already been said, the font is too big and it needs to blend better. I'm not 100% why there is a unicorn on the sig either? It doesn't seem to fit.

Thank you, Teg! 🙂 Doesn't seem too harsh! Hah, but it was very productive. I do agree, I feel like a better background would do better, and the foreground is definitely separated form the back, so that needs to change. Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep working on it. 🙂

Vinyl Scratch is the name of the Unicorn. Do you mean she doesn't seem to fit as a part of the image, or the idea of a unicorn on the image? 🙂

Before your comments, I worked out Version 4. It doesn't have anything you suggested, Teg, but I was able to get the text to pop while keeping the scratches I have as a clipping.

Harsh eh?

Well you have no flow,no depth.
It just looks like something random you pasted together.
This is meant as constructive criticism...not to put you down or anything.

I do see where you are coming from, and thank you for the criticism, it's very welcome! How would you suggest I add depth to the image? I attempted to, by layering some details behind the text and Scratch, but it didn't turn out too well.

Thank you all for the criticism! Please, let me know how I can improve this and future works. 🙂

Well what I would do is center the render/picture,and then add some smudge behind it.
Then blend in the render a bit more,then go and sharpen it and remove anything around the render which doesn't look good.

Just some suggestions,I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link in this section but take a look at this Tutorial:

I like the first image of version 2 the best. The third image is a bit blurry in my opinion, and the first image lacks something, lol. Keep up the good work! 🙂
