Showoff - My First Signature

[Batesii]

Hi guys, please rate my signature. I also like critisism
(Note: This is my first signature, and first time using photoshop)

Not bad, i don't like the render though, and to me the c4d's are too visible.
other than that, good job.

Ditch the bleeding cowboys font and the outer glow. Rest is fine for your first time. Keep it up

[Batesii]

Why is the font bad?

Also, thanks for your opinion.

[Reflection]

It's overused, ugly and plain-out wrong for most signatures.

[Batesii]

Wow, you put that bluntly...

Thankyou for the help

I'm fixing it right now.

[Exigious]

Well a lot of people who do signatures, or atleast in well known area's like PlanetRenders/GameRenders/Tagmonkey/FringeFx don't use text at all. If they do it's when they become a "Pro" at everything else.

Also, a good thing to know and look at is a color wheel. The colors you have don't mix.

So from that stand-point you can try to fix it using filters, or you can make it B&W.

Thankyou Reflection and Aestysu! I tried to fix it based on what you said.
Here is the changed version:



Now, I'm going to look at the Colour Wheel




Edit: I have applied some filters, and they have seemed to even the colour out a bit.

Bevel & emboss is also a bit taboo inside of signatures as unless it's done right it'll look bad. Font is better but try to work with a smaller scaled text and place it a bit closer to the focal.

[Batesii]

Okay, I will do that.
Unfortunately I will have to continute my little project tommorow. (Due to lack of sleep )

[silentnightwolf]

when i use fonts i usually use a basic one with little to no effects. it looks cleaner. but good for your first one

[Batesii]

Okay, I have taken everyone's tips here, and attempted to make a better sig.



I'm actually quite proud of it.

[Reflection]

Much better

[silentnightwolf]

yea alot better, keep up the good work
