DESIGN NUB

[SYN Ultrapipe]

So I am still new to design and still teaching myself slowly in my free time. First I want to know what one has to do to become part of the design team? Second, here are some of my designs/sigs. Feedback please. I mostly watch tutorials and look at other peoples work to see how to do certain things. I am trying to go to school to learn more about designing, just need the time. Like if I see something I like I will try to various things to get the same or similar results. Right now I use Gimp but I just downloaded Photoshop and will be starting to work with that.

Thanks

I looked up some stuff and tired some new techniques and this is something I came up with. I am pretty happy with the outcome for my first time with some new stuff. Allot of trial and error to get something I liked. I also read a few other threads here and saw some peoples feedback on other peoples work and took it to mind.

right on nice flow decent blending text could be better but text is a hard one to get great beginner tag
great initiative

Here is something I just made after I got off work. I am pretty stoked about this one. I think the blending is allot better then what I am used to. Still trying new things.
