Welcome to the Design Application Area! Here we will have you complete various tasks in order to gauge or establish an understanding of what you're capable of. We will be providing CnC (or constructive criticism) on your productions, as it is part of our growing process together. Please don't take anything negative or personal.

To start off with, I would like you to make some productions from the Test Images for Applicants Thread, which can be found >HERE< that is provided above your app. This is intended so we may begin to see a start point and end result.

We also suggest making an account on IMGUR.COM for your images (This is the Image Hosting Site that all designers on the team use). Please use the BB CODE when submitting them. Please remember that all images must be in PNG or GIF format. Signatures are maximum 500x200 pixels and banners are 400x75 pixels.

Thanks for applying! We greatly look forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

This is a great start! Two things though:
1. The render looks a little overly saturated. Try making the render a little lighter. But not too much since the overall image is dark.
2. Font and text shouldn't overpower the overall image. Try making the text smaller. The color is good, but text and font should really be the last thing on your mind.

I will be doing this tutorial tomorrow so I can show you more differences. When you are done with these changes, please post them so we can compare! Great start though!

This is a really good one! So, the next thing I want you to focus on is making your own background instead of just finding images for the background. Sometimes designers will use different backgrounds and make them different layers with different layer styles. But, I would like you to focus on making your own background completely. The best way to learn about making your own backgrounds is smudging!
