To improve that, you need to blend your render more. You can do this by:

Selecting your Lasso Tool on the toolbar, and selecting around the render (picture).
Going: Select > feather > Around 10 - 15 px.
The selection will be smaller now.
While still selected, right click the selected area. Go Select Inverse.
Then go Edit > Clear.



You can also blend your text more, too. Text is hard, so I don't expect you to get it perfect in your first couple of tries.

You used an outer glow. The colour wasn't a very good choice; it didn't suit the render and background. Try going to Outer Glow and clicking the colour box to change it to something that suits the render.

Once you've dont that, you can lower the opacity a bit. Look at your layers window, click the text layer, and drop the Opacity. This makes it more transperant.

Your choice of font was good, too. And the placing of the text and render.

I like how you know about Pattern Overlays; the scanlines.

You have passed your first assignment. Well done.

Wow, you seem to be doing good here, Nice and tidy, also try guiding them more at first in your assignment, instead of correcting them AFTER they make the signature.

Unfortunately, I'm having problems with my Photoshop now and I don't know when I can get back on track. Until then, I guess you can consider me absent at your school.

Veeeeery close bro, just two small mistakes.

Gradient Overlay = Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Overlay.

Adgustment Layers= Layer > New Adjustment Layer

ASSIGNMENT 1
http://i27.*.com/2nk16v6.png
Not sure if it is my best, but I'm trying something new and I like how it turned out.

ASSIGNMENT 2

What program do you use? - Photoshop CS3 Extended

What does C4D stand for? - Cinema 4D

Do you know what a C4D is? - 'Tis like an abstract picture/stock thing.

Do you know how to smudge? - Yes, but I am terrible at it and avoid it at all costs..

What is a brush? - Something used to add effects to a banner and is usually used in the background.

What is a gradient overlay? - Is it like a gradient map?

What is a pattern overlay? - Uhm it is a sort of pattern for example 'checks' which make the background or render look different.

What is an adjustment layer? - Changes how the layer looks i.e screen/hard light/soft light/color dodge etc.

Ey Perfectionist!

I'm sure you can, you might have to ask Uryu to add you to the roster on the official thread.

First assignment: The Sig

I like it a lot! A small amount of vector brushing, scanlines, a well placed render... can't complain! All I would add would be a 1 px border, and you have a very nice banner.

All questions correct.

Both assignments passed.

Perfectionist April 25th, 2008 7:50 PM

Okie doke, here is the edited version:

Kinda hard to see the 1px white border, but other colours kinda clashed.

engage' April 26th, 2008 6:27 PM

I can see it, and it makes the sig perfect!

Perfectionist April 26th, 2008 6:47 PM

Hmm Latios I don;t really understand Assignment #3..
Could you give an example of text with effects in it?

engage' April 27th, 2008 4:43 PM

XD, No problems.

Perfectionist April 28th, 2008 10:30 PM

Not really sure if this is what you were wanting from us.
Were we suppose to make the font ourselves or use a downloaded font?
Cause I kinda made the font myself if that is a problem...

THIRTY-SIX April 28th, 2008 10:32 PM

Creating it yourself is even better than downloaded ones…. imo… anyway will get right on it!
