[Sig makers ONLY rate the sig]

[Zook]

a lot of random text and simple copy and pasting. 5/10

Hmm, not bad if you're just starting out. You've kept the sig simple and pleasant-looking, as opposed to a lot of sigs where there is just way too much going on, to the point it's about painful to look directly at the thing.

Some criticisms:

1. I find the text too distracting. The color comes pretty much out of nowhere, when looking at the rest of the sig, it takes up a lot of room, and I think the font and the stroke around it makes it look a little newbish. It's my opinion that implicity is best when it comes to text.

2. The sig feels very flat. There's a background, and then the render is pasted on top. I think you should try to add depth to it- add some layers with textures, brushing, or some other effects to blend the render in better.

Hope that helps.

Hm, to all the Signature Makers out there... XD

What think you, about this first ever signature I've made hm? I made it using only Iris, an iPhone application, and Picnik, as well as one image from Persona 3 Portable that I found using Google

I think you did a pretty good job on it, it being your first one and all. The background is nice and simple; I think it looks a little better on the black side, the red background doesn't look quite as good with the darker black splotches. The text looks mostly okay except the bit that says Anima/us and the bit that says "memento mori", that's a little messy. The pink in the middle doesn't quite work for me; a different color would probably make it look better, but if it were me, I'd probably just leave it out. Can't think of anything else. For not using a program like GIMP or photoshop, and doing it for the first time, I think you did very well.

I think the text is very overpowering. I also personally find the font a bit ugly, but I suppose that's up for debate. ^_^ I mention the text first because it's the very first thing I'm drawn to. I think of text more as an extra that often isn't needed, rather than the main point of the sig. So my suggestion would be to shrink it and tone it down a bit. I think simpler usually looks more professional.

The stock image of Roxas would be okay, but it looks like he's missing part of his head (or at least some hair). Makes it look a bit funny.

For some general advice, I would suggest experimenting with some different tools in whichever graphics program you're using. Maybe try using some brushes, or adding some textures, or something. Add some spice to it.

Ya about the text I usually do logos so text is bigger but that makes since for sigs. I tried to fix his hair. It was a poor stock so it cut off his hair and i tried to snoothy it out but ya fail. I did add some brush things suvh as the lights i had but i agree i dont know i just couldnt think of much more to add. Thanks for the feedback though Toph I'll try to make a new sig soon! (Oh and btw I use Jasc Paintshop Pro 9)

^Heh, for some reason I thought those brushes were part of the stock, even though on second glance it's obvious they aren't. >_<

It was a poor stock so it cut off his hair and i tried to snoothy it out but ya fail

I hate when you have an otherwise decent stock, but the people who made it cropped off something stupid like the tips of the dude's hair, or part of an arm, or something. <_< You probably would've been better off cropping the rest of the sig down a bit so that it left off where his hair was screwed up.

Ya about the text I usually do logos so text is bigger but that makes since for sigs.

Well, for logos and such it makes sense to do a larger text, but I think my criticism is still valid as far as the font goes.

Thanks for the feedback though Toph I'll try to make a new sig soon!

You're welcome and good luck to ya.
