Can you cc?

[cadburys_egg]

This is more of a test than anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of people sometimes complain that many people fail to give CC. It really isn't hard when you break it down into smaller pieces.

 

 

 

The thing you need to remember is a checklist of points to present. Think of it like this:

 

 

 

• [*:2dv5ceh9]Colour.
   
   
   
  [ Does the colour match?
   
   
   
  Is it appropriate?
   
   
   
  Is there enough variation of colour? ]
   
   
   
  [*:2dv5ceh9]Render and blending.
   
   
   
  [ Is the blending any good?
   
   
   
  Does the render match with the signature? ]
   
   
   
  [*:2dv5ceh9]Border.
   
   
   
  [ Is it any good?
   
   
   
  Is it trying too much? ]
   
   
   
  [*:2dv5ceh9]Brushing and Misc.
   
   
   
  [ Is the brushing effective?
   
   
   
  Is there enough contrast?
   
   
   
  Is it too dark/bright? ]
   
   
   
  [*:2dv5ceh9]Text and font.
   
   
   
  [ Is the font appropriate?
   
   
   
  Is the text in a good place? ]
   
   
   
  [*:2dv5ceh9]File Size.
   
   
   
  [ Does it look too compressed? ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now to the test;

 

 

 

I've made a below average signature. Can you cc me to better standards?

There you go. :) For the purpose of this, we'll say this will be used on a board with no dimension limits and no file size limits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CC!

Lol, nice try to get people on the TIF to give better C/c but I'm not sure if they'll listen. :? I'm not going to C/c this for no reason except to test my skills, sorry to disappoint you. :)

[Nazgul740]

:( thats for grunge\absract\renders

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not for pixelers

[beesafree]

lol teach people how to judge *ahem* pixel signatures lol, for a competion, or for a battle between two or more pixellers.... :mrgreen:

 

 

 

it might help them when this battle may or may not come around....just an idea

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also what is this thread for? so you can give C/C on other people's C/C? lol :mrgreen: :thumbsup: \

[beesafree]

ok let's have some fun....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

The signature is very montonous, blue is a colder color, although you picked a warm-looking render... meh i only think that because the render is a girl, most girl renders look softer and warmer, so a yellow or a red i think would be a better choice. also the image looks flat, not enough contrast (strange for you cad, lol), the brushes also add to the flatness...add more of a variety, the signature doesn't pop out, i like signatures that when i am scrolling through the threads, that it will catch my eye and make me stop in my tracks. the text placement is perfect, IMO, although the green wrecks the monotonous of the rest of the siggy...the text is also curley but the feel of the siggy makes me feel like it should be sharp...as i do have a black background so i don't see the border to well, but if i highlight it, i see a 10px black border or something...which is an over kill, mabye pick 1px black. the render looks OVER blended, as if you were taking a picture of a speeding car with a kodak throw-away camera...

so do i pass cad?

* Colour.

 

 

 

------Not enough variation of coloring, what if you added some colors to her blouse, and made her hair defined w/o an encroaching bluishness.

 

 

 

* Render and blending.

 

 

 

------Too blended, sorry, mixed as opposed to assimilated

 

 

 

* Border.

 

 

 

------The border is rather thick, with a blurred sharp line on the bottom too.

 

 

 

* Brushing and Misc.

 

 

 

-----i feel cross eye'd, you might have too much blurring, with colors that look mixed together on a pallette (too blended) It's too bright in areas, while maintaing an excessively dark blueish tint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Text and font.

 

 

 

-----Sorry, you should get more experience ;), very clashing font colors with a curly appeal that doesnt fit. I'd suggest something sharper, since this is a precision martial arts look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cad, i think you need to take tips from the pros here, and look around and put more time into your next peice ;)

Ok, i'm bad at c/c, it might be since I'm not actually someone who knows how to do these things :P

[beesafree]

how'd i do cad did i pass? i would like to know.... lol

 

 

 

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[cadburys_egg]

Good.

 

 

 

Bad.

 

 

 

Debatable.

The signature is very montonous, blue is a colder color, although you picked a warm-looking render... meh i only think that because the render is a girl, most girl renders look softer and warmer, so a yellow or a red i think would be a better choice (I should've provided the original render really. ^^;). also the image looks flat, not enough contrast (strange for you cad, lol) (That's the point! =D), the brushes also add to the flatness...add more of a variety, the signature doesn't pop out, i like signatures that when i am scrolling through the threads, that it will catch my eye and make me stop in my tracks. the text placement is perfect, IMO, although the green wrecks the monotonous of the rest of the siggy...the text is also curley but the feel of the siggy makes me feel like it should be sharp...as i do have a black background so i don't see the border to well, but if i highlight it, i see a 10px black border or something...which is an over kill, mabye pick 1px black. the render looks OVER blended (Actually, there's no blending atall, it's the effect of the flat, H&S layer over it + brushing ;D), as if you were taking a picture of a speeding car with a kodak throw-away camera... (Well, the quality is bad)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4/10

so do i pass cad?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, overall it's a good critique of the signature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only points i'd make;

 

 

 

A render can't really be "warm" unless you see it's colour, which you can't on this.

 

 

 

The brushes aren't generally a cause of flatness, it's more how they're used. Instead of soft light, I set them to overlay.

 

 

 

Text is always debatable. I could've dotted about white brushes, to mimic petals for an oriental theme and sharp text would've ruined it. Personally, I would've used a sharp-curvy font. If you get what I mean. ^^;

 

 

 

The render isn't really overblended, as I said above, it's the effect of the flat H&S layer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Colour.

 

 

 

------Not enough variation of coloring, what if you added some colors to her blouse, and made her hair defined w/o an encroaching bluishness.

 

 

 

* Render and blending.

 

 

 

------Too blended, sorry, mixed as opposed to assimilated

 

 

 

* Border.

 

 

 

------The border is rather thick, with a blurred sharp line on the bottom too. (Bonus points for noticing the mis-brushing =D)

 

 

 

* Brushing and Misc.

 

 

 

-----i feel cross eye'd, you might have too much blurring, with colors that look mixed together on a pallette (too blended) It's too bright in areas, while maintaing an excessively dark blueish tint.

-----Sorry, you should get more experience ;), very clashing font colors with a curly appeal that doesnt fit. I'd suggest something sharper, since this is a precision martial arts look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same points as to Beesafree.
