i personally just dont think you can show off and design skills with the sigs.


I completely disagree. You have been obviously looking at wrong tags.

You can show proper understanding of design principles in any art form, most around here simply don't.

You should work on your line heights in your text, 1.5-2 is not always the best for every application. The BMW car ad has some promise, but the other ads would need a lot of work to be cohesive in style and theme.
I'm not sure if the website design is just from a phpbb forum style from 10-15 years or not, but it was never a style meant for marketing or advertisement, try something more modern and open, image driven with minimal text is the current way to go.
If you will be using renders make sure it is a well cut render, or if you are cutting the renders yourself make sure to use proper tools to do so for a better final result.

Keep on practicing, it takes awhile. I've been dabbling in Photoshop for 14 years and I still have a bunch to learn/practice, sadly not enough time or drive.

Really? I thought the BMW ad was by far the worst. (I'm not implying the others are great.)
