    not bad not bad man. Its pretty good but things have to be done. The shadow is way too present and the glow on the skype & logo is too much.

    I also dont understand the colors. You got 3 colors all different and not related.

    Good job anyway man, looks good

    Thanks for the advice, I merged all the layers and did a blur, so that's why the glow is so strong. I usually don't do that, but it was just quicker. Next time I will do it differently. About the colors, I don't really know, I wasn't trying to get them to relate I guess.

    Overall 6.5/10

    Don't like the stripes all over the thing. Doesn't make sense to me.
    The shadow on the Tehdalo is wayy too present, and doesnt make sense because you have light on a few letters coming from the right, when the shadow is focussing to the middle.

    The skypelogo overlaps Skype, don't like the look of that.
    The ":" is waay too low on there, can be the font but I don't like that.

    If you want to mess with shadows make sure to:
    1. Have a lightsource coming from the same direction the shadow comes from. Looks very unrealistic the other way around.
    2. Don't make it too big, that gives off a very strong lightsource and you don't usually put such strong lightsources on an image.
    3. Focus on the complete signature, if you shade the top text to the middle of the text, make sure to not use a different shadow, or none at all on the rest of the signature.

    I may be excaggerating (lel grammar i haz it) but this will only improve your work.

    Keep it up man! be sure to show us some progress :)

    Would had looked nice if you picked colors that would go well together and not contrast.

    Well it's a blur, not a shadow, and I just like the look of a heavy blur. Maybe next time I'll tone it down a bit.
    The lines are just a pattern that I thought looked decent, maybe the opacity is too high on that.
    The skype logo overlapping was on purpose
    The : was the font
    I will take into consideration the lighting thing next time.

    Thank you for your advice :D

    I will take that into consideration.

    I wouldn't say that, but thanks, much appreciated
