My Signatures | Photoshop newbie | CS5

Hello everybody. :slight_smile: I am posting this to show off a couple of signatures i made in photoshop CS5. Please keep in mind that i am fairly new to photoshop and have been learning it for almost 3 months. I would like some criticism on what i am doing good, bad and what i need to improve on. Please donā€™t be too harsh. :stuck_out_tongue: Both are 650 x 200 pixels wide.

[size=14pt]Signature #1[/size]

[size=14pt]Signature #2[/size]

Which one do you like more?

I like the first oneā€™s overall simplicity. Nice work

I really like the second one, good job.

Not too much of a fan of the first one, but I do like the second one a bit.

The text on the first one doesnā€™t really go with the background. However, I do like the second one.

I somewhat agree with you. I feel as if i should have removed the diamond from the background or something. But when i do, it looks really empty. :s

They both look great. Nice work.

Iā€™m not a GFX person, so will someone explain to me why the first one isnā€™t ā€œgoodā€? I thought it had a nice appeal and I can usually tell when a signature is well done or not.

In my opinion, itā€™s the text, it doesnā€™t match the background like the other one does.

Agreed. Sometimes a contrast can make a nice effect, but in this case it just doesnā€™t work.

I like the 1st one of the 2.
Not only because iā€™m a fan of Minecraft, But the second one looks sorta weird.
Good work though.

Cool, the 2nd signature looks pretty niceā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice work on both of these! I personally like the second one more.

Please donā€™t bump old topics .-.
