~Shore Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I love the top one but the text is a bit distracting, the bottom one feels a little flat and could use more flow, blending could be better too, and the text is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 CRITIQUE TIME ^_^ The first sig looks pretty good overall, congratulations on that. The black text ("The end") is distracting as it clashes with the dark sections of the character and reduces the effect of the focal. I would advise just removing it unless you can find a way to make it fit in with the focal better. It's also fairly monochrome which doesn't help her stand out from the background, so some blurring behind her would help in that respect. This would also help to build up some depth, which this sig is currently lacking. I'm not saying go extreme with it, but a bit of blurring, particularly on the left side, wouldn't hurt. The overall feel is pretty good though, and it seems to fit together quite nicely without any major snags. The flow is nice and not exaggerated; the effects are good but not too overboard, they help the sig without you really having to notice them. Another thing is the rule of thirds seems to help her stand out, but it's a shame because the black text really unbalances it. However it looks fairly good to my eyes so I'm saying its sweet, it could just be changed for the better. I think it currently looks great at first glance though, so again nice work. The second sig again looks decent, but in my opinion it isn't as creative or as well composed as the first sig. The text looks really out of place and it pretty much completely overrides the focal which ruins this sig to be honest. Moving it away and changing the colours to fit in better would be good. The sig has real potential for depth, for example you could make it stand out more by sharpening some sparks so they are in the foreground. It does lack flow which could be fixed by more blurring away in the red section like you have in the blue section. The lighting is a bit off, especially the light patch under his arm which seems to be well away from the light source. He is also a bit too far to the right, because of the rule of thirds and the lighting, which makes his arm look like the intended focal. The blue and red looks a bit cliché, the idea you're doing for has been done before, and, to be frank, done better. The unexplained colour change just looks weird in this context, especially since the red just appears to be hanging off the side of the sig. One last little thing I noticed was the star over on the left looks completely out of place. Overall, it's not bad for effort but there's a fair amount to work on and the style isn't brilliant.

Wanderley Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 i say the top one is great :):) the 2nd one is mehish ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG. Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Top one is actually quite good, it seems a little too dark for the respective colours though. There is little depth, but it isn't really needed in that style I guess. Text is also quite distracting. Overall, ok, but not too great either. 2nd one looks quite oh-so-pixellated and JPG-y, but you said you knew that, so yeah... Text is absolutely horrible, and way distracting. Lighting is a little off, but it could easily be fixed with some burning and dodging. I like the colours though. All round, a bit better than the 1st one IMO.

§hadow §triker Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I like the top one. however, the txts distracts considering it bold and a darker color then the rest of the sig. The BG effects and textures look great. I like the little caption in the lower left with the time. I like how that doesnt just stick, and that it blends instead the 2nd however, im not much a fan of. First off, the text is the biggest problem. So dull, distracting, and random, not to mention that u put it in a terrible spot. I say bets thing for that is to completely eliminate the txt. The effects are ok, and you seem to have done a good job with lighting. But the text on it just ruins the entire thing, i cant get over that. but it is easy to fix, and ignoring the txt, its not too bad. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
