Zidane Sig Instead of making a thread every time i open photoshop i think ill just post them all in here, anyone else can too if they want ^_^ for the benefit of cuzza: yes they have no thought or effort put into them and I usually just make sigs when testing out different things (brushes, plugins, buttons that i dont know the function of) I think the zidane one turned out best of any i've done  _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 This post was edited by Rinzler on Jul 23 2006 11:15am. |

Linkums let me know what you guys think of that style of text~ nothing too fancy really  but the stroke/outer glows are less distinct _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 |

thanks picc and saz Quote: Yes, it stands out, no doubt about that, and that's a good thing. But the white text with a black stroke is overused and maybe some sort of lowered-opacity outer glow could work? Couldn't agree more, ill test out a few different styles and try to get one that matches which isn't easy as im pretty low on fonts after format. _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 |

I don't want to get into an argument either The Adriano one looks much better though I'm pretty sure you can once again portray the text differently.

Updates and Endings: ok firstly I don't want to get into an arguement about the Zidane sig because it really was spare of the moment just testing stuff out and I appreciate your feedback so I'll post the final version I did earlier and that can be it for what always was a flawed sig Zidane Final and an update on my Adriano sig, learning from my past mistakes of overdoing backgrounds to the point of making them confusing to look at, it's much simplier and smaller, using vector brushes for the first time, heres my update that hopefully removes the greenness (i seem to get that a lot ) and removes the blue A from the text and uses a pretty clean but kind of run of the mill styleAdriano Update EDIT: also made the border more pronounced _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 This comment was edited by Rinzler on Jul 24 2006 12:54pm. |

Quote: And yes cuzza I do appreciate your criticisms but when you say "this looks crap." with no reasons why or whether its just your personal opinion it isn't very constructive. I've never said anything looks crap. I might have said it looks bad, yes, but I've given a reason as to why and how you can change it unless I've stated otherwise. Quote:
Quote: Sorry, how the hell am I supposed to know that? I don't have the PSD file in front of me, do I? No, you don't. I was just trying to explain that designs thought up literally on-the-spot don't necessarily look perfect for everyone and that I had already done a lot of work to make the render look good in that background. Grrr...I understand that you've worked hard...but don't blend the render into the background. Why? Because it's too busy. There are too many lines in it... That's all I'm trying to say. _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world This comment was edited by CuZzA on Jul 24 2006 12:49pm. |

Quote: You guys told me to blend the only layer that wasnt already blended, i did and thats how it looks. this doesn't actually say "i tried one method of blending because my skills are limited to the presets in the menu" Its not like I just tried out the first blending method and uploaded it, I did actually take some time with all my adjustments, I thought the way I blended it looked best although you havent commented on my latest changes so I dont know if you think its good or not.

Quote: firstly, there is already a layer with gaussian blur and overlay. thats just how it looks. You guys told me to blend the only layer that wasnt already blended, i did and thats how it looks. Sorry, how the hell am I supposed to know that? I don't have the PSD file in front of me, do I? Quote: secondly, theres a stroke around the text so that it doesnt look plain and stupid and i think it looks fine how it is. You can say it looks good and you like how it is, but the fact of the matter is, I don't. And because you posted your work here to get constructive criticism, I went out of my way to help you. Quote: fourthy, here is an alteration, blending the render differently and removing the stroke from 'zidane' text. It really doesn't look much better, the image of a person doesn't blend well with such an insanely random background. (i happened to be testing brushes with this image lets not forget) This is the reason the render originally had minimal blending if you discount the layers already blending with blurs to create visual effects on the render. Jesus, you don't need the PSD to be literally covered in the background. Let it stand out. I don't understand why you think "blending in to the background" means the PSD has to be covered with those random shapes. You don't need to. _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

Yeah, the Adriano one looks pretty good. There's a bit of "green" behing Adriano...sort that out and it should look good. You want the background to have a few tones of blue in it, not some random green. If you take that out, it'll look great. The "A" in Adriano looks really bad. Change that...I dunno how, just do it. And btw, the PSD is blended in to the background  It doesn't have to be IN the background for it to blend. _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

The blending isn't good at all now...try this: Duplicate the Zidane layer Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur > 10 pixels (On the duplicated layer) Change the duplicated layer to Overlay If it looks stupid, lower the opacity a bit. The white stroke around "Zidane" makes the text look bad :/ But I dunno if it's the font or not. _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

omg no more greenyness. vgf  text could be adjusted too a bit. imo it looks good when its done with rules like these: bright background - dark text dark background - light text. background is mixed up so basically u just have to test things and see when it looks uber. but well blending everything in to piece of art should be your main priority now... ofcourse if you arent already bored with it haha _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Hmm.. The text kills this one. You might wanna find a different way to portray your text because that doesn't work. Like Saz said, you need to blend him a bit more. _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |
