    I made this one today with some help from Draucia. Please tell me what you think.

    I thought that was pretty good for his first 2 sigs. It make look c4d infested, but it's only 2 C4D's 1 bubble and that effect. He did lot's of smudging, which I thought was neat with a 1px brush. :)
    Clipping masks involed (he's a very fast learner).
    8/10 for first few sigs.
    1 Thing: um around the focal, you kinda left some emtpy space. Don't be afraid or w/e to cover your focal a little.
    Other then that, good.

    Not bad, nice blend and use of colours with the girl, as it's suitable and appropiete. Perhaps if you could change the text to white, since the name doesn't really stand out as that.
    Overall not a bad start, well done. :)

    Thanks for the help draucia. And I can kinda see that empty space now, are you talking about the little gray area on the right side of her face?

    Text not standing out too much is a good thing, so it doesn't distract your attention from the main focal.

    Haha no problem. Yeah the right mainly, but there is some on the left.
    Make more!

    Wouldn;t the main focus be the text, as your doing a signature for a person, to almost present his/her name. If you get me. If not I guese.

    No, you kind of want to make the text blend with the signature and just have it in there where it still looks nice and you can see it. But you don't want the text to be your main focal point.

    No, not at all. That would be more of a banner, not a sig. A banner tries to represent a text or something, trying to get a message through. A sig tries to ummm you know... lol

    Mhm.

    The bubble c4d is pretty bad, the text doesn't blend whatsoever, I don't really like the size, and the girl is overused in sigs, etc. <3udrewweshouldmeetirlsoon

    Your choice of text was terrible. Too much white behind her, and you can see bits and pieces of the old background which makes it look sloppy. Color choice was good though, and the FX was good as well.

    work on composition - the girl is placed in the wrong place for a decent focal. Google rule of thirds.

    try and work on some depth and lighting. you need to make a light source in the sig that compliments the shadows on the girls face and also start to blur and sharpen things when necessary.

    also your colour use isn't very good, try and make it less monotone.

    id like to see a v2.

    sorry for the grammar, im too tired to type properly.
