still nothing special, but i think its much better. more criticism?

Now, that's a great effect! I really think the photo, and the desaturated copies somehow suit the text... 'liar'. Just a feeling I get!

Also, I'd like to ask: is the shadow of text another layer, or is it an actual text style? Because I really think it looks good as well.

All in all, a great first (or second?) attempt - better than mine, I think!

P.S. Good luck, Scion of Light. I'd really like to see what you can come up with!

How do you desaturate an image?

Sora_Rox_My_Sox · 10/10/08, 03:43 AM

I am biased because I use photoshop, but I don't like the background at all

The second one looks really good, the first looks nice too, but, second has a better feel to it.
Keep up the good work :D

Nice. Thats good for your first try.

samwdg · 10/13/08, 11:05 PM

Nice work, did an awesome job on the 2nd one!

C4strife · 10/13/08, 11:10 PM

lol I sort of like the first one. I like the emotion shown in the stock eventhough it's low in quality.
I would suggest not spreading out the text, and definitely don't put them right in a corner. Try to place it off the corners, and wrap the text around each other. Like choose a main text and subtext, and make the main text bigger and the subtext smaller around the main text.

Lines are a bit distracting, and would have probably looked better going towards the bottom more, and if they were more fine/thin.

The 2nd... just watch out for the shadow on ur main stock. There's like this huge drop shadow there. Plus it's not really blended in with the background. It just seems like a bunch of brushing on the left, the fading effect and then the main stock. Try adding a bit of contrast to the b/g, and make the fading effect closer to each other (it's taking up like 2/3 of the sig), and I wonder how it would look without the fades being desaturated (I'm not saying it'll look better, but it might)

Remember blending doesn't mean make the stock the same colour, or lower the opacity of the stock. It involves making the stock fit with the b/g.

Hope that helps... sorry I write a lot >.<
