Much better! Now try to take some of the skills you learned from the tutorials and create your own piece without having to go back and re-read the tutorial. Let's see what you can come up with.

Just remember your font. =)

Wonderful progress! Keep up the great work.

Next thing i'd like for you to work on is depth.

This tutorial really helped me when i was trying to learn depth. It is very basic, but it should help with any signature that you create. Go ahead and use the last signture you made but apply this depth tutorial to it.

And remember, if you ever need help following one of these tutorials or you just don't quest understand what they want you to do, i am more than happy to sit down with you over Xbox Live or Ventrilo to guide you through the process.

I added you to Xbox live, and i do appreciate the tips, i was hoping to get some helpful advice and so far its all been really helpful to further my knowledge and enjoyment of editing and playing around with images.

Much better. You really are making excellent progress. I'm not just saying that, i swear it to you. =)

I posted this in my original post, but i edited that one, changed it up a bit and i'm going to repost it.

Feel free to start a whole new design using this concept.

Try to remember your rule-of-thirds though.
photoProgramCompBig23.jpg


The rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds — both vertically and horizontally

from thephotoletariat said:
The Rule of Thirds works so well because it places subject matter in random areas around the frame and keeps it away from areas that normally indicate order by the brain’s pattern recognition software. You don’t always have to use the rule per se, but by keeping subjects out of the center, you inherently create more dynamic images.

You want for your focal to be as close to one of these blue circles as possibly. Sometimes you can get away with images in the center, but for the most part, try to follow this rule.

See how far you've come? =)
Wonderful progress from A to B

Why don't you give this tutorial a shot next! xD
http://www.sigtutorials.com/tutorials/basics/liquify-tool.html

I'd like to see one sig made following the tutorial completely and then another one made without the tutorial just using the new skills you picked up from it.

The more tutorials you do, the more techniques you will pick up. And then you can in turn pick and choose all of the techniques you've acquired to make a variety of different styled signatures. It's honestly how i learned to make signatures and i believe it works for everyone.

(DONE) XG ADDICT FORUM BANNER REQUEST FOR KOG WAYNE

(DONE) XG Addict forum banner request for KoG Wayne

1: (name)KoG Wayne

Theme of Banner:
"American muscle car" "U.S.A."
Color Scheme:
Red, white and blue

I was also wondering if you could have the text: "XG Addict" written under my name in the banner please?


I was hoping you could use this photo : http://stwot.motortrend.com/files/2011/08/2012-Dodge-Challenger-George-Washington-623x349.jpg

I'm looking for something like that, if that photo doesn't work, no big deal. A banner with what's above will be perfect I'm sure.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, thanks. :)

Thank you for your request. A design member should be able to help you within a decent amount of time. You will be informed when this is completed. Please allow up to 3-4 weeks for completion.

Hi Judge,
I've recently started working with a few new designers using both GIMP and Photoshop. If you have the time, i'd love for you to join us and pick up a few tips and tricks as well as learn the basics of signature design.

I can meet with you on Skype, Ventrilo or over Xbox Live, whichever is most convenient for you. Please get with me A.S.A.P on when you are available and what you'd like to learn and we can go from there.


I look forward to working with you. =)
