Riku3220 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 it looks like something you would see on a commercial on T.V. and your name would be replaced by the object the people are selling 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It's good, but I think a petal on the north-west part of the flower would be better... Takes the focus away from the centre of the sig... Maybe a bit more of the flower too... Only having that part seems rather empty and boring. And the text is rather random and boring... It looks as though it was just slapped on in a random place, jsut because it has to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 lol i cant tell if thats a compliment or not riku :-k, ty tho? :wink: i did try using a petal more on the left side, but they werent defined enough and when i tried to cut them out, lets just say it wasnt pretty, ya the text does suck, im looking for new fonts right now thank you for the comments guys :D keep em coming -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yeh, I think that's a compliment. No, it's not the font that's the problem - the font is great. It's the placement. It's just plonked there as though it's lost.. Like a new kid in a new school. [/ramblings] Maybe using a different colour for 'avyplaya' would be better... Try a the yellowy part on the petal (colour dibber it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 k, is the position good? or should i move it somewhere, and when i find a good color for it, should i add blending options to it or just leave it plain? -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 k, is the position good? or should i move it somewhere, and when i find a good color for it, should i add blending options to it or just leave it plain? No... You're totally not listening to what I'm saying. MOVE THE TEXT - IT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT WHERE IT IS - THE COLOUR IS FINE - THE FONT IS FINE - THE SIZE IS FINE Try using the yellow of the petal (Colour dibber it) for the text, but keep the orange on the 'N'.

Ard_Choille Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I love to play with photos like that. I'd probably search/create a font with shaping that resembles the petals of your flower. I'd bet if you keep playing with the font & placement, you'll find the perfect composition. Have fun!

navyplaya Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 3 is a little lighter, where should i move it to? -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Top left corner... Or wherever it looks right... Just move it... To a corner preferably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ard_Choille Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'd shift it to an edge/corner, maybe in something more like this font: - - My deviantART Page - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'd shift it to an edge/corner, maybe in something more like this font: Hmmm... I dunno... The placement is obviously good. That's what I meant, but the font... It seems too rugged for this picture... It's soft, gentle, and warm, yet the font seems hard to me... I think arial is fine, but it's your choice. :) How about a little glow on the petal? Don't use outer glow effect. Wow. It still says Ard_Choille has the most recent post... :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 here it is i like the font how it is, i agree about the gentleness of it i tried putting a glow on the petal, but when i cut it out it wasnt done perfectly, so it looked bad thx for the help tho guys, on to the next one -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Wow. It still says Ard_Choille has the most recent post... :-s haha ya i noticed that too, i think the forums were messed up for a few minutes -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baemnt13 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Navy, what gold means is, adjust it to match the bg... For instance, what I noticed is there is a roof in the bg.... You could attempt to skew the text to seem asthough it is imprinted on the roof. Not bad, but the text is the only let down. About the tag itself, it is extremely dull, and the focus is on that one petal. What you could do is, select a piece of the background, and keep it colored, to keep the focus balanced. So, to recap, Text needs to be adjusted to fit the bg better, not just slapped on, Take my tag for eg..., and keep the focus on the center of the tag. I tell the truth even when I lie.

Goldwolflord Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 No.. That's not what I meant... Though that is actually a good idea.. Skewing and making it look as though it was imprinted... I'll try that now... Here's an edit I made... I just brought out the colour of the petal with a few layers, and sharpened the background. Sorry if you consider it ripping. <-After <- Before EDIT: Text: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 i still dont really like the glow on the leaf, but the text is pretty cool, would mind walking me through how to do it? thx alot man! navyplaya -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku3220 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 cool firey effect but i think you should move the text next to the little balcany(forgot how to spell it :oops: ) so it doesnt look as empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
