I agree, and dont agrree with you at the same time If he only used PS 2-3 times, he seriously isnt able to even KNOW what feathering and smudging is Then i agree with you, that the bg is too simple, even for Paint.net Paint.net surely isnt comparable to PS, i have a kinda extroadanary knowledge of Ps and still i dont know it all Then, arial surely isnt a bad font for sigs, if used well, it can perfect the sig, or ruin it, all up to the usage, personnally, i like arial and other basic fonts for texts, mostly on size 12-14 Though, as a beginner with abstracts, i seriously recommend other fonts like: AngryBlue, Abaddon etc..
