Nice to see you back :) Your text & depth could use some work as well. I would try switching up the font once in a while. Choose something that works well with that signature but is also easy to read.

I think my hardest part is getting the text to fit in...any suggestions?
Click to expand...

regarding the text, I would have made it smaller, and put it to the right of her waist(almost on the bottom edge but not quite) top of the text almost in line with her elbow, to get the text to blend in more, there is a few tricks with text I use personally. 1. blending option > outer glow(black) set on multiply, this tends to make the text pop so I usually turn the opacity down. 2. WHITE text on dark backgrounds set on overlay, quick and easy but doesn't always work. Third, just play with the layer properties(normal, overlay, screen, etc) and also the opacity till it looks right, there is no exact science as each image and signature is different but maybe this gives you some general ideas to tweak and turn them into methods that work for you. As far as non-text related, Biggest thing i am still noticing is lack of depth, you want to blur/smudge/soften your background. This will make your focal pop, and also help blend everything together so that the focal does not look simply placed on top of a background, it should look like it belongs(fits into) the image, do not take this hard, its simply my opinion and constructive criticism to help you improve, Jupiter may have something else :)

New:

You have a great grasp on design and will be a great addition to the team.

Last portion of your application....

Take one of the pending requests in the sig request area. Post the finished product in this app FIRST. Once critiqued, we will show you how to post a pickup properly

Nice work! In the future, don't forget a light source. The top of her head has the light shining in it, but the only light part of the sig is behind her. Just a tip

welcome to the team!!!!

send a request to join XG Design and I will get your design shop posted soon

Now to post the final product.

first, post in the request thread saying 'done, this is complete, etc'
next, create a new post in the sig or banner pickup forum, whichever the design is for. Title the thread with the member's name and sig or banner pickup. (Ex. KoG Titan sig pickup)

now the tricky part. Post the image just like you have done in your app using the IMG code. Enter 2x and then click the text edit box that has this <> . That will bring up two HTML brackets. The entire IMG code will be placed between the HTML brackets

refer to any of the pickup threads to see what the posting should look like. And if you need help, the whole team is here to help ya.

Note: when taking any request, make sure to post in that thread that you are taking it so that myself or Jupiter can mark it as 'IN WORK'
