i was going to but realized i read: 'graphic design class and general photoshop use'



----------------------------

klol exactly what i keep thinkin, but it doesnt matter much. trm could still talk about basic graphic design/art knowledge, and people could still apply it to signatures. for example, some more additions to the class:

principles of design like repitition
elements of art like texture/color/space.

..then eventually people could work on certain aspects from a tutorial(signature or not) you give





hoooohh shit wtf did this even make sense/

so wait, why does that change it :|

the general photoshop use part is just so people understand these concepts arent just about making signatures

My attempt


Great topic by the way

I think im going to have to give this another try.

as someone who has used that render i applaud this outcome, its got a good feel to it,
the top left is probably the weakest part, but overall good colors, good focal clarity (imo), and the effects arent too much

it's so hard making the lighting realistic. So i gave up on it this for now lol.

it has a lot of potential but:
1)the render is LQ
looks like you had to stretch it to fit the canvas

2)Make the canvas SMALLER. less room to work with = less space to fill

3)give that bg stock please

is this from phils tut?
i did these a long time ago




these dont look too bad
the body is a little bright
try blending the c4ds into the canvas because i can stilll see the edges pixelated
try not to blur the whole bg
instead use different settings on the blur brush
or make more layers using
blur, more blue, gaussan blur
