i would suggest not making your background out of filters, not using fractals or c4ds and get some different fonts.

also look up some tuts.

edit: oh yeah, dont use so many effects on your text i.e bevel, glow, shadow

vouch. There were a couple which I had a hard time figuring out what the focal point is as well.. my eye is more drawn to a random part of the sig and not the focal.

I just normally go with what i think looks good, i dont really focus on focal points, more of what appeals to me as an artist. But it couldnt hurt to look over a few Sig tuts, let alone some photoshop Tuts also for some cooler effects. im still trying to get my slides in .bmp images to go smooth

well a big part of art in general is a focal point. You don't think Van Gogh's Starry night is such a beautiful painting simply because of they way he uses the brush to capture the breeze do you? It is named starry night because its the theme, as wel as a focal point. Look at how the colors of the sky contrast from the colors of the town drawing your attention to the start in the sky. Another good point regarding the painting is his use of light. Van Gogh had a fascination with yellow and the essence of light. Looking at how he uses the light with the focal point, it brings out the hills lining the town and draws out that cypress tree helping to balance the picture. Granted you seem to have a good sense of lighting, but lacking a scource of light in some of your sigs.

Not trying to be harsh or anything, but just a thought when you start creating definitive focal points.
