Hey you finally applied good stuff. Thanks for applying, and good luck in your application.

 

[XGC Radioactive]

Text is really the only thing i can offer atm. Work on test images. Glad to see you step up.

 

[Rave]

Good luck with your application, if you need any help just let me know.

 

[XGC BIZARRE]

Look who's back, back again, Dresdens back, tell a friend!

I see a lot of improvement since your original app. Great work. You do, however, need to work on your text. But text is the hardest thing to do, in my honest opinion.

Keep it up and please do the test images.

So this one isn't too bad. My main issue is the text. I can't clearly read what it is so maybe use a better text.

 

[XDC Dresden]

Okay, I changed the text up a bit.

 

[Rave]

The gamer tag isn't too bad, but the quote underneath it is still really hard to read. For the quote, use a text that isn't so thin and remove the white outer glow around it.

 

[XDC Dresden]

Okay. Any other CnC for the signature?

 

[XGC Radioactive]

Maybe a light star stock?

 

[XDC Dresden]

I thought about using one but wanted to keep it pretty simple with the light sources I had going and the different shades.

Hope you don't mind, but I circled areas of intreats on your house signature.

Red: This area disrupts the flow of the signature, try turning it about 45 degrees counterclockwise if you can.

Lime: His face is pretty blurry, try sharpening him up a little bit so that he is clearer.

White: This seems to be your light source in the signature. This needs to be a a lot stronger then what it currently is.

Also, change your border from white to black. White is too distracting and will cause a viewers eyes to look at that rather then the focal. A black border will make the signature look more sleek.

Okay, I tweaked it a bit and changed my C4D placement, sharpened the focal, and made the light source stronger. What do you think? I I was going for simple and clean.

 

[XGC Radioactive]

I think our Skype session fixed ited

 

[XDC Dresden]

Here's one I just made. Let me know what you think.

I changed the border to alpha and tweaked the light source on this one.

I like the second one. The first one looks more like a button. =)
