[Abhorred]

I made this for myself and thought I would share it with you, just a quick throw together that I thought was cool.

You over-used fraxframe, some brush's and the typography is bad.
The purple backround would look good alone if there were no large black gabs between them (which suggest's there all different brush's).

Quite simply, it's horrendous. Keep trying though.

looks like a bunch of rips - I know it isn't, but that's what rippers normally come up with. Nothing fits together, from the typography, to the change in colors, to the brushing, to the fraxflames to the shapes, it's not a whole, it doesn't flow.

To keep this constructive;

Brush manually - don't use downloaded brushes
Don't use fraxflame untill you know when and where to use it.
Find a different colloring method -> color balance layers
Don't overdo shapes and try to haveat most 3 focal points
Make sure your font fits the rest of the piece

Erm yes. Your font color should match the background. I'm no Photoshop wiz or anything, but at least turning the opacity on your font down might look better (someone correct me on this)
