The first thing I have to say is that there are several things that could be fixed, but it still looks good even if you don't. This tag is very simple and that is what makes it so good, so changing it might disrupt that style but I will try to keep to 'simplicity'.
First of all, nice smudging of use of cloud textures at the bottom. It draws the eyes up the meet the focal which is good. The vector circles are great as they cover the render, but not very much so it doesn't steal attention. Although I think that you could make some of the circles behind her and some in front so it looks like there is depth. Good old depth. :x
I think that the colours in this tag are very flushed especially the render. Try using some gradient maps on different settings maybe just to perk up some more contrast, only the smallest amount!
Lastly, I really don't like the border, sorry... I think the side lines might look better in a lighter colour, so it doesn't contrast so much from such a light tag.
Nice work!

Decypher January 20th, 2009 2:10 PM

Ok, is this any better?

Decypher
The tag is a lot better with the adding of basic depth, but there is another thing I picked up.
A minor nitpick, but if you fix it, it could look a lot better. Around the render there is the black out line. You can delete this by selecting the layer with the render on it and going 'Layer >> Matting >> Remove black matte OR defringe (1/2px)' This will remove the back around the render.
On a dark tag it doesn't need it, but when it is all white, it will look a lot better without it...
I don't know if that border is any better, maybe just make it a bit thinner.

Decypher January 20th, 2009 2:49 PM

"Layer >> Matting >> Remove black matte OR defringe"

Neither of those things work, both of them ruin the render. I'll edit the border though.

Thanks in advance~

moments. January 21st, 2009 9:16 PM

Sure whenever you get it done that is fine, but I will post the next assignment then so the other members don't need to wait.
Just gotta think of an idea for one first... 8D

Decypher January 24th, 2009 2:03 PM

No rush, but I was wondering how the next assignment was coming along.

moments. January 26th, 2009 6:36 PM

Assignment #4 is up.
Please try it without a tutorial, and if you really need one I can post a few here.

Decypher January 26th, 2009 8:32 PM

Ok, heres assignment number 4. This is the first time I used a C4D as the main image, so it was something new. I didn't use a tutorial, as much as I wanted to xD. So, hopefully I didn't do too badly.

Don't ask about the text, it was just the first thing that came to mind when I looked at the sig. xD

..PandA.CharadE.. January 28th, 2009 1:50 AM

Noxious, i'm afraid have to drop out of graphics school. It's because of school work, etc... Well, thanks ^^.

moments. January 28th, 2009 3:50 AM

Awwh no problems Panda! You have been a great student and I was happy to teach you!
If you ever want back in and this thing is still alive feel free. Or just PM me graphics at anytime for rates!

Tyrantrum January 28th, 2009 7:58 AM

Again, SO sorry it's coming late! ;_;
I tried to do it, but PS crapped up.
I SWEAR I'll do it this weekend. ;D

Belinda January 28th, 2009 8:51 AM

Yrie January 28th, 2009 10:04 AM

I suggest you visit that thread first.

moments. January 28th, 2009 2:15 PM

Yeah Blaster you need to sign up in the official Graphics School thread as Decypher posted.
Read through it and sign up using the correct form..

No worries about late assignments guys, but if you are going to be late, I am not going to wait for 1 or 2 students. We have half the class finished and ready and I will keep posting assignments.

The text it great although in my opinion just a tad too large. When I focus on the C4D, the text pulls me away from it. You could make it smaller or somehow put it closer to the focal, but it isn't too bad how it is...
The main focus was depth, and you were amazing at it. Good work!

Right now it does look like a C4D pasted on a black background... :x That also applies for the text. From it looks like, you tried to make it appear to be disappearing back into that spiral yes? Well it needs some blurring as it gets furthur away. Also I don't know if I am reading it wrong, but corrosion is spelt with an 's', not a 't'. :)
So take it, blur and sharpen it, maybe use the 'Burn' tool to darken parts that you blur and post it again.

Assignment 3:.

Haha, yeah, um, it was a quickie.
I'll start working on the next assignment. =)

Decypher January 28th, 2009 3:12 PM

Thanks for the feedback, maybe its a good thing I did it without a tutorial after all. xD

Is this better?

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/assignment4sig-2copy.png

Yrie January 28th, 2009 3:37 PM

Yeah, I tried blurring and sharpening parts of it. Not noticeable enough then? Here's another go at it, with a bit more of an effort at depth, though the burn tool just made things redder. And thanks for catching the spelling mistake, spelling is not one of my strong points (though I'm pretty obsessive about it and tend to check every single word I don't know on some online dictionary.)
