Guest Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 sorry but its a 1/10\. Not too be mean. So I will try too help you as much as I can.* Try to avoid use Red Text* The outer part of your text doesn't fit at all with red text.* Try not to use a yellow as an overlay.* If you have to have the snake thing there, put it in the background.

Soljah Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 1/10 at most,Text has no texture,Text is too boxy,The alpha-blended yellow is a complete turn off, change the color, or redo the oval.The cobra doesn't match the rest, due to it being in black and white.

Devogen Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I wont rate it because i think you could do better mate, i know you can.Here some tippo's Stingers..* Dont think so big. Try sigs that are around 500x150, thats a pretty reasonable size* Try using gradients, or at least different shades of the same colour, not bright yellowsmack on red, its a very bad contrast* Antialias ON!*learn how to use textures to fill solid blank colours will make a massive difference.* learn about different opacities, like radial, burst etc, so you can create good fades.here, heres an example of the textures and styles that are pretty easy to do mate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edache Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 @[BS:> §tingRay200 link=topic=40526.msg398572#msg398572 date=1237139086]> Green and Red?@slym:> Just as bad. How about black and something or white and something. Use calm colors.I must disagree, Red and Green are complementary colors, they both help enhance each other visually; if you use them correctly, they can look really well together, but only if you use them correctly.Although I must say, that graphic could look much better, you should try giving the text a drop shadow and some reflections, that could help it look much better. All so the way the background it is cut in the upper and lower sections doesn't help… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Never use a red stroke. Thats one rule I have for myself. You may want to take that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devogen Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think you might have a different perception of colour to the average eye. Im wondering why you do such contrasting colours, but you dont seem to notice it.Im not having a dig at you mate, not at all - im just genuinely curious. i.e what was it that made you pick those colours in the first place?

StingRay200 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ok, The new image I put p is just a test to see if I can create reflections and perspective them. How can I better it?Devo,I picked these colors because, well, they stand out. But as a beginner GFX artist, I am starting to see the uses of colors and when not to use them. Thanks, Devo.
