It isn't a bad sig Kilo I like the use of the rear background. Shows you are starting to use layers. I always use the lasso cut out tool to cut out my image of choice. I never use the original backgrounds. After cutting it out I transfer it to another new background. On the background options there is an advanced section for transparent backgrounds. I work on transparent's with every major change or idea on a new transparent background.

Just try cutting her out and putting her on new transparent background. Next spend time with the cutout erasing any noticeable edges in preparation for attaching it to new background. Find a background with similar color schemes or themes. If the color don't match perfectly find another image and addition or grain merge it to rear background to change tones and colors of the sig.

You can use a little work on rendering (cutting out the image) you can really notice poor rendering at the bottom with the chair legs ans feet!!! Also it is very plain!! You have your render and a background and thats it!!! Add some effects, c4ds..... Someting to give your background some more depth!!

Hey Kilo!

I'm excited about you interest in designing. First thing i would suggest is working on your sizing and placement of your focal. She is really small in the space and is oddly placed. In vertical sigs it's kind of hard to do placing, or at least it is for me.

One thing you want to keep in mind is your Rule-of-thirds. The rule suggests that an image should be imagined as if it were divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

(If you need further help understanding rule-of-thirds, let me know and i'll try to dig up an old post of mine where i spent some time explaining it.)

Yea, definitely should have kept her straight. Also, when you are scaling your images, are you locking the proportions so that they don't stretch out weird?
