Some common GFX terms:

CnC - Comments and Criticism.

Render - A pre-cut image from a wallpaper or other image commonly used in signatures. (example)

Stock - Any un-cut image. Such as photography or a wallpaper. (example)

Sprite - A render of a pixelated character. Such as "Ash" from the gameboy pokemon or "Ryu" from the SNES Street Fighter. Can be any pixelized character. (example)

Blending - How well the Render has been fitted/matched with the background. Also how the edges of the render flow into the background.

Flow - The overall direction of the sig.

Chaotic - Too much is going on in the Signature and it is very hard to make out.

Vomit - A particularly bad Signature rating

Brush - A downloaded brush from another site commonly used to make signatures, it is used as a tool to create backgrounds.

Brightness/Contrast - Change the settings of your brightness and contrast in your monitor - notice the difference? That's what its referring to. When it's over
contrasted it means that your contrast is way over the top and it has too much excessive dark spots/black or white light spots.

C4D - An abstract render made in a program called Cinema 4D, also commonly used in signatures.

Whored - Excessive usage of a very beginner tool or such.

Pack - A collection of items.

Font - A different style of text.

Pixel Stretch - A simple signature technique using 1px by "x[vertical wise" of an image and stretching it across the width of the signature.

Blurred - Blurring - when it gets fuzzy, used for adding depth.

Foreground - The front part in a signature, usually blurry, to signify it is "too close" for the lens, or the focus is not on it.

Middleground - The part of a signature/photo where the focus is, where the crisp render is, and where the focal point should be.

Background - The back part of the signature, usually blurry, or made to emphasize the focal point.

PS- Short for Photoshop

GFX - Slang/short for Graphics
