Singey - V2 is a lot better than the first one. I'm stil not sure about the white circles which seperate the sig. I would maybe change the large roger federer text too but apaprt from that you have a nice sig.

Teekay - Its bold, i'll give you that! Even after giving it a good look, it still looks a bit too messy for my liking. The text merges in with the background to make it hard to read. I would compare this sig to marmite - people are either gonna love it or hate it.

Cracky - I couldn't agree with you more about your tiger woods sig. The background is just too much. It needs to be mellowed down a bit because it takes away the attention from the main render.

wrigh2uk It's nothing special man, i perferred the first one a lot more. It might be a good idea to try and find a better picture of Bret, or maybe a different wrestler all together.

Cracky Most of the blending on spiderman is top class, although the white brushing around it is pretty disappointing, as is the text. The right (my right) side of the sig is great, just the left side that it kinda went a bit tits up! Has got a lot of potential i suggest you work at it man.

Potential SOTW entry, sorta happened a bit randomly, but im pleased with the outcome. I gave up on the T-Mac sig' becuase it didn't look original and looked like something i'm sure everyone's made at some point.

It's Tosh Townend by the way, he skates for Element.

Dont really think the render works that well, the repeating effect doesnt look that great IMO. BG and text are nice though.

Not bad, you maybe should've made the glass stand out more, with out any colour. Text looks OK, but it dosen't go with the signature. Also the Intercontinental Championship looks out of place.

Cracky

Looks nice for a quick job, brushing works and colours are nice. The blending is brilliant, but there's something about the signature that puts me off it, not sure what it is mind.

Fast Eddie

I like that, the way you've done the render is brilliant. I love the way you've done the sky, looks realy good and nice on the eye. But the colours on the actual main part of the signature dosen't look right. Kinda' puts me off it. Still a good peice, but not a SOTW winnner.

Anyway, my latest work. Been working on it for a few weeks, although it's unfinished, I thought I would share it with you, I need some help on how to improve it. I don't like the render very much, it's way too dark.

On the two top layers of the render, choose "Overlay" and on the top one choose "Linear dodge", that should sort it out.... ;). Also it's coming on nicely. Good work on the effects.

Singey

20-09-2006, 16:30

Mercer - Like you say the render is too dark so take Cali's advice. The text isnt very good, a bit too small and the font isnt that impressive either. Nice brushing but the Arsenal badge is placed badly, its neither in the middle or at the top of this sig and it looks messy. Other than that its decent.

Photoshop is mine!

Thanks for the encouraging comment Greenegg. Once ive sorted out a few things then i'll be ready to go..

Mercer - The render is definitely too dark.

I see a lot of people have problems with renders, here's a very useful tutorial for those people:

http://img352.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rendertutorial10i h.jpg

Revert - The render looks very much hidden behind the effects, it should be in the front. You could also tone down the vertical lines. I like the lightning on the club.

Fast Eddie - I like the text and the left side, also the colouring is nice and smooth. The multiple render idea needs a little tweak, but I really don't know how it should be done.

Some good work showing for this comp guys.

Teekay - The Arto sig is looking strong mate. It's a sharp render and i'm enjoying the wallpaper esque bands on the left side. I would have perhaps cut down on what is going on in the middle text wise but a lot of effort has clearly been made, good stuff!

FE - Another top sig. What really makes this stand out is the multi colour gradient you've applied. I think you've lowered its opacity too which is subtle and works. It's a simple sig and I would have taken out the stars from the bg but the jagged border makes up for it.

Wrigh2uk - Bret Hart is an awesome subject and this sig has promise. I would have tried to blend the pictures in more with each other, and perhaps experiment with some brushing around the edges to see what you get? Also text needs to be clearer. Bret Hart is a legend so this one should be top, good work.

This will be my entry, i've listened to the feedback and taken out michael, it really wasn't working, done a bit more to the bg and this is what I have:

greenegg

20-09-2006, 22:31

Teekay V2 is better although the text is quite difficult to read towards the end.

Fast Eddie so far v2 of yours looks great v3 I dont think the sort of brightish colour suits it.

Danvid V1 is the better one but the sexc is a bit daft

Revert as mentioned elsewhere bring the render to the top and the sig will look a whole lot better

Mercer Henry is far too dark in the sig maybe bring him out some more and make him the focal point of the sig.

My SOTW maybe needs improving any suggestions?

20-09-2006, 22:38

looks good greenegg but the left hand side looks a bit plain

cracky

20-09-2006, 23:09

You need to blend the render is more, as you do the brushing. Perhaps add some more detail to the left side too. Also a bit more brushing on the sig and see what you can come up with, plus mess around with lighting/blending effects until you get something you like.

Once again you improve egg, better brushing in front and behind marty, the render has been cut well and looks sharp. Also the text works with the somber background, still may need something to perk it up bg wise. Good job.

Your impoving alot. But i think you needa' do a bit more to the render and not do so much brushing over the render. But apart from that its a very decent sig, well done :)

Oh why thankyou :) but there is already a border on it. I've lowered the opacity alot though if you look closely you will see it comes quite far out, seeing as i put 9 pixel border onit. :) thankyou for the comment :D

21-09-2006, 15:54

Shopper - Love it. Can't fault it. The colouring is great, the render is great, the brushing is great. Text is also very nice, although the grey bit behind the text could be set to a lower opaicity. Great work.

Greenegg - Good stuff, although the render really really needs blending in better, as you can still see the roughly cut edges around the head and on his right shoulder. Good brushing though.

Dr.Tom - I like the colouring and the boxes. The only thing that could be worked on is the render, but other than that good work.

Tutty - Your best so far. Nice colouring, brushing and render work. The text is also very nice. Like Fast Eddie said: Slap a border on it and you are in buisness.

21-09-2006, 20:16

@greenegg: The render needs blending more, even if it’s just around his shoulders, possibly could do with sharpening it a tad and changing the boarder colour to match the sig. I think the text and background is very fitting to the character of the sig. Maybe make the bottom left a bit more irregular, perhaps having the fractals creeping up the left side a little.

@Dr_Tom01: I like the background and flames however, I don’t think the render is blended well enough; you need to figure a way of making it look as if the flames are consuming Cantona. Perhaps go around the edges with a small brush, just erasing parts at a low opacity level or lighten up the edges.

@Tutty06: good brushing and use of typography, blends extremely well with the theme, you’ve also matched the colours perfectly. But as mentioned it needs a boarder, even if it’s a smile one.

@shopper: good use of colours and nicely blended render and emblem. My one criticism would be the text, it doesn’t stand out enough, not that it needs to but it seems like its caught in-between. I think if you amend that, it’ll be awesome.

Not really one hundred percent pleased with any of my outcomes for this week’s competition. Which one do you guys rate higher?

The first one is great talyn. the brushing is very nice, the blue eyes also are very affective but im not too sure about the text. :D

Killerkey

21-09-2006, 20:28

Talyn - Whats with the major bong eye in the first one? They seem to be looking left and right but not straight foward ... I know thats not your fault (obviously) just looks pretty funny that she has bong eyes.

The first one is all good except for the text, maybe the grey background could be deleted and then save as a .png so it will be the same as the background of the forum?

The second and third are good ideas with the sparks coming off the cars and it looks pretty good, yet again not feeling the text.

And the fourth one you should get rid of the background for sure and save as .png so it fits with the forum bg.

Tutty That is easily your best sig so far, lets just hope you made it yourself ;)

It's Arbor Day, so Bam decides to knock down one the tall trees in the backyard. April hears the commotion from the house and comes outside to yell at Bam. While April is yelling at Bam, Bam gets an idea to build a tree house/casino and call it Fast Eddie's Tree Top Casino. To make the opening of Fast Eddie's Tree Top Casino extravagant, Bam hires professional wrestlers to wrestle in a ring below the casino. In the end, the wrestling match becomes a Battle Royale that includes, Phil, Don Vito, the wrestlers, and Bam.

She looks crosseyed, and the fact that you made her eyes stand out more doesn't make it better. It could be a nice sig, but far too many faults tbh, blue brushing is too much contrasted, text looks weird and almost nothing stands out.

Sorry if I sound harsh.

Singey

22-09-2006, 18:26

Talyn - The brushing is good and the render is decent but the eyes look strange like that and the text could be better, also that squares brush thing on the right hand side should be more transparent. Not bad but I think you could do better.

If anyone is wondering why i've not posted any sigs up lately its because im just getting to grips with PS, and I am currently in the process of making one.

Could say the same too you.

Rossy: You need to get some better fonts, try dafont.com. Also work on your BG. For a simple BG try this. Filter>Render>Clouds. CTRL+U, change to a colour of your choice. Duplicate it. Set to overlay. Filter>Pixelate>Mosaic. Then sharpen it a couple of times.

Thats nice for KK. The text in the BG is a good effect, Too much white around him. The colours of the BG don't go to well with the render. Render is looking very good and so is the BG, just not together.

Its a great sig but i think you need a lil' bit more onit seeing as it looks a bit plain. The BG is very nice though.

And some comments would be nice on my sig.

I agree with the background, with the text in the background it made the colour change drastically and didn't fit in, so i've changed the colour which looks better.

Killerkey: Brilliant as per usuall. Nice background and the text behind the render works well. The render is blended well and I like the fading effect on the render. Top stuff.

Shopper (-Iceman-): Nice work. Looks nice, and the background is pretty good. You have realy improved from about a month ago. Keep up the good work.

Rossy Boy: Too plain, nice if you put more work into it. It seems like a 3 minute job. And seems like you didn't put much effort into it. I know what it's like when you find out a new technique and you want to use it when you first find out how to do it. So don't think I'm having a go or something.

Singey: I like it man. Nice effects and a good render. Obviously not your best but good none-the-less. At least you are starting to get the hang of it. Hope to see some of your latest work soon.

Anyway, my latest:

I made a thread on how to do a border.
Yes no worries Poffe, I did check it out but your method didnt seem to work, instead I had to go to Edit> Stroke and not like your theory which is blending options or whatever.

I had a 4 px White broder and then added a 1 px black one but it turned out like so with 1 px white and 1 px black (?)

Rossy: The BG is looking good now, it goes with the render, keep trying bits at a time, you'll probaly pick up alot of stuff on the way.

Iceman: That's quite nice, very clutterd but he colours work. The render is kinda blurred. Not a bad effort.

Killerkey: Great improvement, sometimes the smallest change can make the biggest difference.

Singey: That's mint. Realy like it, colours are great, and the BG makes the render look great. Render could be better but i'll let you off whislt it's your first :). See you still manage the dotted line lol.

PS. I spent the last hour or so figuring out how to add a border :shocking:

Singey bloody amazing for your first ps creation. But i'm not too sure about the brushing over alonso. But apart from that everything else is nice :D Well done.

@Revert You should move Svensson behind the border. Im not too keen on the text, as it doesn't go with the rest of the sig. Cut is quite bad, so I think you should work on that a bit ( Or is it an effect you wanted ? ). Render work is Ok, although seems too light, and the sunlines behind the render work well.

@tutty Hell yeah, you've improved. Great BG and text seems to work well. Although I do feel that the render is too bright, apart from that it's another good sig. Well done.

Singey - Liking the sig. The BG is Good and the render is Rather Good aswell. Not too sure about the brushing around Alonso though. ;)

Mercer: The sig is OK. Not too sure about the WWE logo at the top left corner, The Edge cut is Good and BG is ok.

Abbadon: For a ten minute Job this aint Half Bad. The Blackout's at the side's of the sig work well and the sig Looks well for what it is. ;)

Ross Boy: For soeone who only started using Photoshop yesterday, You are showing Potential. The Render of Eastwood on the right is cut rather well although Im not too keen on the Coca-Cola Championship Logo Behind him. Maybe fade it out or place it in the middle.

Cali: The BG is too Packed. The colouring is Good although the text could be better. ;)

Revert: The svensson render is Cut out well and The BG is OK although the text is rather hard to read and quite simple.

Tutty: The sig Looks Good, the BG is Very Nice but McGrady's Face is Too bright for me. Other than that, Good Job. ;)

Cali - Like Singey said i think the background is a little too much. The main render is very good though. I would prehaps change the Rihanna font though, im not too keen on it. Very nice sig still. You can clearly see that you spent a while on it because its so detailed.

Rossy Boy - Its a decent effort mate. The Freddy Eastwood render seems stretched to me and the font would look better if it was smaller and had a black stroke line round the outside of it. Keep going mate.

Jamster - Considering that you have only had photoshop 3 weeks, it's a decent sig. The font most definately lets it down. Download some good fonts from www.dafont.com. Also i would move the jamster writing so it isnt on top of the border.

Here is my possible SOTW 11 entry:

-Iceman-, I love the BG, it just works so well. The text IMO, could be improved a bit, blend the badge in a little bit more aswell. Great effects behind Billy, although I do feel that there could be a bit more effects on Billy. Good sig nonetheless, should do well in SOTW 11.

For you second sig in Photoshop ever, It's really good. Loving the style, the barcode works well. The arrows are nice, gives a good pattern towards the image. Text works well, Barca badge looks good, render works really well with the sig. Although I don't like the lighting near Ronaldinho, it just doesn't look right. Good sig nonetheless, well done.

Singey

23-09-2006, 20:57

Thanks for the comment Cali, the lighitng is the gradient tool set to raidal. I just dont like this sig though, its something which I cant put my finger on.

Good brushing on your sig btw, nice bg and the floral brushed work nicely, good job. Only thing I would say is to put the border on top, looks a bit messy.

Abaddon

23-09-2006, 21:26

Cali, the BG is perfect, and the white bit at the bottom looks good but you totaly ruined what could of been the best sig on here for some time with that render, change it for one with better quality and it will look so much better.

23-09-2006, 21:34

Will do Abaddon. Should I just make the render bigger or change it ?

24-09-2006, 10:12

The render is a lot better than before. My only suggestion to improve it would be to brush at the bottom where there is a big white space(under the writing) nice sig buddy.

Is this an improvement?

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6070/billyclarkeke5.jpg
Thanks. Ill try to edit it a bit later on. Abaddon, if your'e refering to my sig having a blurry render then that's the style I wanted.

Yes, that is an improvement. Render seems a tad bit too blurred though and the badge is a bit too blurry aswell. Apart from that all is good. Well done.

Both are improvements...but both have poor renders compared to the BG, sorry, but they just look too blurred.

I was going too save this incase there was a SOTW for cars but there probaly won't be so fuck it.

http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/4264/ridinv1fx3.png

24-09-2006, 13:58

Iceman - I dont like it, theres way too much fractal brushing behind the render and in the sig as a whole, using fractals are neat and stylish but theres a fine line between using it when needed to create effect and over-using it. The text can be improved and the render needs some effects on it.

Abaddon - I like this, the car is placed in a perfect position and the way that the render comes out is good too, although that will just be the image itself. Bg suits the sig but the text could be improved. Good work.

Abaddon

24-09-2006, 14:06

Thanks for the comments lads. Theres a few effects on the car, like i've added light from the head lights and changed the perspective a bit to make it stand out, but it's just a good looking render anyway so I couldn't do much. The text was a bitch, I tried to have it Ridin in white a Dirty in black but the black didn't show up well so after about half an hour of text changing I left it at that.

Guys if you're having trouble viewing Tut's sig then quote him, fetch the link and paste in a new tab, works for me.

Tutty - I like the grungey background and the render but thats it. The wings are a bad idea, doesnt look very stylish, and the text needs some antialias, it looks pixelated. You can do better if you make some adjustments.

tutty06

24-09-2006, 19:13

Yeah duplicate the render a few times and mess around with the styles to blend it with the BG. And maybe make the squares in the BG a bit smaller. And last chnge the text size or change the style and lower the opacity hope that helps ;)

Oh yeah you could also mess around with the colours.

Go to Layer > new adjustment layer > channel mixer.

And you can mess around with the colours. ;)

Edit: @Rossy Boy - Use some of the helpful things I said earlier on Rossy. It's looking alright but it does need some good render work. The dissolve effect on Henry looks bad, try to put a motion blur on the render aswell. Text and BG look bland, download some brushes from Deviantart.com, and text from dafont.com. Good luck!

-Iceman-

25-09-2006, 15:34

Nice collab you have there. My only advice would be to improve the cutting on the main gilberto render. His head looks a bit odd. A little bit more blending on the main render and it will be a nice piece of work. I do like the layout of the sig, simple and fresh.

That looks better IMO Iceman. The dots work well with the signature, really blended in well. Well done, mate.

This is by far my best IMO. C + C appreciated!

Wow cali very nice. you are certainly improving. FAST!
The BG brushing is great, i like the dots and the lines coming out of kuyt.
Also the render has blended in very nicely. The text is a good style and goes with the sig and is also well placed. But maybe would be a lil' bit better a bit bigger. I don't like that sorta' pattern in the right hand corner it looks a bit odd. But overall one of your best, very well done :D

Cali - Okay, the sig has good elements in it, but they don't work together. The colour of the shirt and the colour of the bg don't really blend. Also the texts is too small.

-Iceman-

25-09-2006, 16:18

My advice would be to desaturate the dirk kuyt render to help it blend into the background. Certainly one of your best though Cali.

Cali

25-09-2006, 16:21

I did desaturate it Iceman. I duplicated it 8 times..... desaturating 4 of them, along with the top layer.

-Iceman-

25-09-2006, 16:28

Have you adjusted the curves and brightness/contrast?

edit: photoshop cs .. awesome.

:D I've done it before but it wasn't as tidy. Well i'm kinda getting better now, I couldn't even work out how to get it too save as a gif at first, now i've manage to keep perfect quality as well as the animation, quite proud, and thanks for the comment.

Also Tut and Rossy....GET A ROOM :tongue: Seriously though PM it, because you are kinda brakeing the rules.

Teekay - Its a nice sig, the colours are excellent and theres some good bruhsing going on in the bg, I think maybe the cut esp. on the hair is not at its greatest but its a solid sig. I also think the text could stand out more. Good work.

tutty that text is horrible and the wings do not go well with it atall, maybe if you change the text and remove the wings and put some more effort into the render it might be a good sig

I hope that was a joke!

TuttyBackground is pretty weak and simple, the colours dont match the cut at all either. The cut alone is poor, badly cut and the effects are pretty lame. Certainly not anything impresive and definately worth starting over / deleting. Although, undoubtebly, you are getting better.. this was a step backwards i reckon, take more time on your sigs!

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/6894/lupefiascoet4.jpg

FE - Could be better mate, I like the background and the text is stylish too but the main render is lacking. Simple sig but I think you could do better if you sorted out the render, thats the main problem.

Killerkey

26-09-2006, 20:46

Fast Eddie, it is still a good sig but you can do better, doesn't seem like theres been to much work done on the main render, maybe you should add something to that.

Anyone heres my possible sotw entry, and yes I suck at text, so can someone please add something more then the text needs work like poss colours to use etc, because I know it needs work I just stuggle to pull off good text.

27-09-2006, 16:40

KillerKey I like it, the background and render work well together, althought the render might be a bit too dark, especially on the face. The text obviously needs work but it's a good contender for sure..

I've had a wee go at making an entry, C+C please ..

Singey

27-09-2006, 18:15

Killerkey - nice background, the grungey style works well with the render which is well blended, maybe the edges could be blurred a little for greater effect. I think the text isnt that bad to be honest. Good work.

FE - I like this too, grunge seems to be very popular these days now that all those SA and SD people have raped the shapes style sig. Render is a good choice and his face in the background is looking good too but the big Yorke text has to go imo, it spoils this a little as it could well be a contender along with Killerkey's sig.

Fast Eddie

27-09-2006, 18:33

Grunge is the best way to go when you wanna make a sig without wasting a lot of time, i'm not gonna bother chaning it anymore cause i'm pretty happy with it and im not too enthusiastic about the theme this week, this is just to keep the numbers up really. .

Cali

27-09-2006, 18:45

@Killerkey Very nice. As Singey said, the grunge style works well. Good render work and I like the stadium in the back. Although I agree, text does need some work. Although tbh, it's not that bad ( Text ). Good sig.

@FE Yeah, knocked my one out of the sea. Really good sig. Grunge works well and render is blended in well. I would get rid of the big Yorke text though ( Or make smaller ). Well done.

Poffe - Its good work, I like the background colour and the layout is interesting, plus some decent brushing and render, its great. Maybe the text could be improved, the font is ok but the Raul needs to be more visible in my opinion. Excellent stuff.

No comment for me sing?

Your doing alrite for someone new to PS. You seem to be pressing all the right buttons. Not much wrong with that one, the render should be more prominent as it's kinda merged with the BG.

Fast Eddie

28-09-2006, 16:55

Abaddon It's good .. i don't know what the hell it is, but it's good. Poffeman's right about the white highlight, looks like you did it by accident though. There's not much to say about it really, it looks like it took a long ass time, it's aesthecially pleasing and stuff but there's not a lot in it and i'm not entirely sure what i'm meant to think when i look at it..

Poffeman It's nice, looks like the kinda thing i'd expect you to produce, the text lets it down though, the Raul part looks alright maybe. I think the cut is just a tad too sharp but everything else is nice.

Singey What Abaddon said. The render is also too small for the sig, i really like the writing though good shit right there! Bit more time needs to be spent on cutting around Persie's hair. For me the text is the best thing about it and the rest needs work, which is odd cause it's usually the other way round, but i think if you can get the writing good the rest of the sig should fall into palce with a bit more time and effort.

I could have a go, I haven't made a wall in ages. Which bands do you like besides CKY?

28-09-2006, 17:16

Anyone that's not hip-hop really, unless it's Obie Trice or Jay-Z. Indie bands such as Babyshambles, Pete Dohety himself, the Maccabees, Klaxons, Maximo Park, Test Icicles .. or if you have anyone similar in mind have a go.. or even delve into another theme, i'm open to suggestions :)

Killerkey

28-09-2006, 20:08

Abaddon: it's a good sig not sure what it is but the white part does need lowering down so it's not as strong.

Poffeman: As everyone else has said the text does let it down, maybe some work could be done on the render? Not saying it looks bad just I'm being picky and trying to find something to criticise other then the text ;)

Fast Eddie: Both sigs there are top quality and I'm not to sure which I prefer, I'm swaying more towards V1 but the glow around the text doesn't look to good.

Singey: To say your new to photoshop that is a good solid sig, it's nice and simple, I do feel however you may need to do someone to the render to make it stand out of the sig more then blending in.

Heres a few versions of my Dudley Campbell sig, you may not be able to notice much difference in some so I'll explain what I've done:

V1 - The first one I posted.
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m119/Killerkey/djcampbellsotw.png

V2 - Changed text, added Dudley Campbells shirt number into background
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m119/Killerkey/djcampbellsotw-1.png

V3 - Changed colour around the text, made eyes a bit brighter (as FE said).
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m119/Killerkey/djcampbellsotw-2.png

V4 - Same changed as V3, blurred around Campbell (as Singey said).
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m119/Killerkey/djcampbellsotw-3.png

Anyone who replies to this please choose which one you think is best and also please tell me what I still need to change/edit to improve it further.

Rossy Boy

28-09-2006, 20:11

v4 is your best, maybe add a bit more to background otherwise its great

Abaddon

28-09-2006, 20:57

Thanks for the comments guys but I can't lower the white bit as it's part of the contour, i'll just change the style insted.

Singey

28-09-2006, 22:26

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Sorry Abaddon, didnt notice you had one there, but I like it, its simple but it works well and colours seem to be right. The way 'Abaddon designs' is merged into the border is a nice effect too. Not too much to say but its solid and is a nice piece to look at!

Killerkey - V4 looks good, now that the blurring around the render has been added, I think you shoud sharpen the render as I feel that now the edges of him are blurred well but the render looks blurred too, and its the only real problem that needs sorting in my opinion but great entries there. V4 with a sharpened render ;)

Rossy boy - The render needs to be solid, transparent doesn't look good if it's main render, you can have a faded render but you have to have something solid that stands out.

Greenegg - I like it, one of your best. I'd like to see the render be worked on a bit though, looks too plain. BG is ok, but nothing special. Overall nice sig. ;)

Cheers for the comments Singey, I've now sorted out what you said was the problem for V4, Also made the background a bit darker so it makes DJ Campbell stand out a bit more.

V1 - (In previous post V4 - With sharpened render + lighter bg)

V2 - (In previous post V4 - With sharpened render + darker bg)
