Hey folks.. so this is my latest creation, please give me feedback, and remember; i'm just a newbie to this!

focal is centered and text is in bad places :S
also doesn't look blended very well... idk

read more tuts ofc, would also sorta help if you could post the one you followed if any

i mostly follow tutorials from www.sigtutorials.com, i also use thei're renders. but most tutorials are for cs3, and cs4, and if i search on google i get to Adobe illustrator cs5, and not Adobe photoshop cs5...

got any recommended?

Some here on jsp:
