Second Sig EstragoN

i made this for a very close friend of mine. she's happy with it. but of course im always looking for improvements ;-)
so.... C&C ?

hmmm bg is simple, looks like u just did a riple filter on a blue bg, i dont find font going to well with that pic...and my number 1 rule....if the sig doesnt blend in well with the forum/site/whatever bg...allways use a border (but thats just my oppinion, looks better)

So my suggestions are for you, try learning how to brush, thats how i finanly became "a bit" better *points at my sig* (third brush sig...ohwell), try finding better suiting fonts and maybe use borders...

but overall i think its quite good for a second sig...6/10

what do you mean with brushing ?
and uhm... i would like to make borders but i dont really know what looks nice hehe.

do you mean with your sig ? just make 1 or 2 lines on the sides ?

The sig is waaaaay to simple IMO
You have yet alot to experiment with photoshop, to brush press the B button and experiment with it and it's options ^^

uhm... brush = simple pensil ? what's so special about this...
or do i have to select different kind of options ON the brush.
like multiply and stuff... and you also have to use the coverage of it ? like.. 100% or 50% etc. ( sorry for bad translation but my photoshop is dutch )

you can change from the pencil to the brush and viceversa, just rigth click on the pencil icon. And you experiment with colors and forms, transparency, effects, you name it ^.^

At first glance, I thought the title of this thread was estrogen , the bg is too bland, and doesn't match the picture very well.

yea i know it's too... boring ... but i dont have any good ideas actually... and not enough experience to make nice things hehe.
but hey... you learn from making mistakes ;-)

It's nice and clean, I'd say, leave the flashy effects before you've grown accustomed with it, and until then, work on typography and style.

Ñaz

Does that even have a background...

The font doesn't match anything, it's colourised, and that stock image just looks out of place.

compexity is overrated say it with simplicity

well, i like it.
i like ppl with a clean stile and you have an clean stile for sure.

i dont really like signatures that have TOO much on it. because that makes it hard to see what you really intented to show.
i always TRY to put my emotions into a signature. but because of a lack of skill i dont succeed in that

Haha yea so did I. :]
The sig is too plain like the others have said, but I kind of like it. Just change the font to something that would suit the stock.

Saying it with simplicity does not make it any less ****: The more you know.

ok you guys can stop *****ing now ;-)
if you have read my post wich you obviously haven't then you knew that i already took the TIPS ... wich you guys are not giving since you are only complaining about how bad it is ... then you would have known that im already busy with new pictures.

if u need some nice brushes, just got to:
www.spoono.com
http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/?offset=24

those 2 sites have some very nice brushes, if u want to learn on how to brush
here is one of (in my oppinion) the best brush tutorial:

Remember, you should USE tutorials, not COPY tutorials, mess around with setting untill u come up with something ncie

idont really see what the "brushes" are ... the third one is using gradient tools...
well ... ill just explore those websites. i've bookmarked them. so.. thank you

and i know i shouldn't use tutorials. i always try to make different looks. never good enough but they are good in my own eyes
