June 9, 200818 yr I'm sure most of you have seen this, was my entry in a sig battle, but could use some CC on it. The text sucks, I know. Please tell me how to improve it :D . Thinking of adding more vector just for the heck of it. The text says "Effects", because, as most of you know, that's what the name of the battle was. Tried to blend the render, and failed. So I tried instead changing the colors of the C4D to match the logo, which I think worked quite well. CC anyone? Edit: Version 1: Vector opacity toned down a bit. Tried a gradient for color. Changed the font to a pixel one. Blended "Rays". Version 2: Same as v1 except I played around with the colors "shining" from the Firefox logo.
June 9, 200818 yr Author PHPBB3 will not let me: -Post everything I wanted to on there (I had a good 1k characters) -Or edit the first post. Reporting it to the list of bugs.
June 9, 200818 yr Well i don't know if this is an new signature or anything, but i like it... except the arrow above the name..
June 9, 200818 yr I think the background is boring *Winks at left side* duo the lack of colours, Otherwise it's a pretty good attempt, Not a fan of the "White" C4D (?) you used behind the logo.
June 9, 200818 yr I like it :) Good composition, but I don't like the C4D behind the logo.. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
June 12, 200818 yr Author That isn't c4d, that's vector. I thought I should blend it a bit more, maybe I will when I get home.
June 12, 200818 yr C4D/Vector pretty much the same thing, both of them can be used for the same things and yes I agree on blending it.
June 12, 200818 yr Author OK, I'll rephrase that. It's not a C4D, it's 2D vector. :P I'll post the results in a bit.
June 12, 200818 yr the color is probaly your second problem, try placing a grandiet orange\red at like 50% might help with that
June 12, 200818 yr Not bad, but the text is indeed not great. Also, I'm not a big fan of the white sun ray things around the logo, they're too distracting IMO. pixel avvy by me deviantART
June 12, 200818 yr Not bad, but the text is indeed not great. Also, I'm not a big fan of the white sun ray things around the logo, they're too distracting IMO. I agree. The "white sun ray things" kind of ruin the blending of the icon and render, which, IMO don't do too well either, but I can tell you attempted to. The colours aren't too similar (those of the render and the fire of the fox). |Signature by Jason321|
June 13, 200818 yr Author Could someone help me with the text? Nearly finished with the second version.
June 13, 200818 yr I could possibly help you with the text? Depends on how you want it to be though (Or was it suggestions? :wall:).
June 13, 200818 yr I think you should try a pixel font for the text. If you make the arrow above and the lines beneath the text somewhat less visible (lower opacity or put layer style on overlay or something like that) and then make the text in a white pixel font with a little reduced opacity I think that would improve it. Just an idea of mine. :P My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)
June 13, 200818 yr Author Hmm, good idea. I've been looking for that pixel font for a while though, can someone link me to it?
June 13, 200818 yr C4D/Vector pretty much the same thing, both of them can be used for the same things and yes I agree on blending it. a 3D render and Vector are vastly different. As I've said before, I like the sig dsavi. Only thing is I'm not a fan of the text.
June 13, 200818 yr Hmm, good idea. I've been looking for that pixel font for a while though, can someone link me to it? I use this one a lot: http://www.dafont.com/serious.font This is the one I used in my signature, a little harder to read in some cases but when used correctly it can give a nice look: http://www.dafont.com/uni-05-x.font My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)
June 13, 200818 yr Author If people haven't noticed, I'm taking quite long to get up a second version. (Due to some unexpected delays. :uhh: ) I'm not browsing from my computer right now, though, I won't have time for it until tomorrow. :( Thanks for the links, I've been looking for those fonts for a while :)
June 13, 200818 yr Anytime. ^^ My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)
June 14, 200818 yr The newer version with the colours shining from the logo looks pretty nice, text is a vast improvement too. pixel avvy by me deviantART
June 14, 200818 yr Hehe, for many people text is one of the hardest things to deal with. ^^ My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)
June 14, 200818 yr The updated version is better ;), I think it could use some more colours on the left side, I saw you added some already and it looks really nice. You could possibly change the colour of the arrow? white isn't a good colour for it in my opinion (If you add more colours^).
