For a first tag it's good, has great potential.
Its empty, read some tutorials about placements and focal.
Screw text at the time being.


Thank you,

and if you mean theres a lot of white space I did this on purpose for myself,

Just what I like.

Not to bash you or anything but saying you've taken typography courses but then using the text as you have just doesn't make sense. The sig is good in itself but I agree with everyone on the text not suiting the sig. For one you have Udyr as your main focal point but then you have a text to the far far left which gives a struggle to the eye for control on where to look. It IS a second focal because of the effects on the typeface. Not only do you have a possible outer glow on it you have the line as well which just drags the eye away from everything you've done in the signature to the text which seems slapped on.

I'm sure in your course they went over bold hot colors like you've used in the signature. Big bold HOT colors like orange yellow would be better suited for big bold capital typeface. The color doesn't bother me so much but swap to a more manly font like Aerial bold go to all caps drop the 77 on the end and move it closer to your original focal point and you'll see yourself that the sig improves 100%. The text is surrounded by big bold powerful themes but it looks weak and pixelated in comparison.

Arial so manly

Also the colour thing you said makes no sense.

But I do agree with the first part

What doesn't make sense about Red and Orange being bold hot strong manly colors? What would you describe them as then I'm not seeing what you're seeing them as if they're not what I've described them as. They're bold in your face hot colors that would be complimented naturally by bold text. If you can only see colors as colors and not give them life and attributes of their own your going to have a bad time in any type of design.

Not to boast but I've placed on NSL before it left us and my C4D pack is still one of the most downloaded on DA it's actually first page on All Time Popular. I do know what I'm talking about and I never once said to change the color of the text to orange I said the color was fine if you read what I typed. I'm sorry if you feel above critique because you took some flop of a typography course. Maybe they should have gone over basics like I'm trying to do with you here. I no longer have PS but if I did I would take the sig and show you exactly what I'm talking about so that you could see how your text could be improved.


If you don't want critique then don't post art where artists stay. When people take the time to give you that critique maybe stop and consider the help they're trying to give you. If you don't want to take suggestions then a Graphic Design forum probably isn't for you. You're looking for the fridge where you can post all of your little pictures and mom and dad will be nothing but compliments. If you would let me I could make you better but if you want to be a close minded cap lock cruise missile then even though I haven't done graphics in years I will always be better then you ever will because I'm a sponge and I accept what others will say about my creations and use that to better myself.

Uou were taking me way too seriously, lighten up.

Edit - Since I'm probably coming off as douchy too, I apologise.... I DID agree with what you said, but I think arial is a pretty boring font. I will however make changes from what has been said (as I do agree)

Also, Two posts above I didn't really mean that... sorry
