Intermediate Class [Aizuke's Home Room]
Welcome to Aizuke's Home Room for Intermediate Signature Making Class [Photoshop] Currently, my style is unsure to me. I tend to change a lot, but usually I stick with textures, smudging and C4D's. But to a more different sort of sense, I try to make my graphics/tags appealing to the viewers eyes. In a way, that's my style. I still consider myself as some sort of a beginner at graphics. Though I have been making graphics for nearly a year now, there is much more for me to learn. My classes of course will help to improve the way you make your graphics, find a significant style for yourself, any weaknesses you think you have when making graphics and much more. I will only be guiding you, not teaching you my style. Student List .noxious t w e n t y - t w o . Gunners Kayashi Unforgettable Assignments Assign. #1 Show me what you consider is your worst banner/tag you have made. Tell me what points in your banner/tag you think makes it bad, and what ways you can improve it. After doing so, I will evaluate your banner/tag myself, and say whether I agree with what you've said. Then, using both your own and my opinions; redo your tag taking in hand what you and I have said about it. You will be given a week and a half to finish this assignment. (To be done by the 28th/29th of January) -- Assign. #2 This one is pretty easy, all you have to do is make a tag, but you can only use shapes. But! You can only use one sort of shape. If you've picked a circle, then you have to keep using circles. This is just a way to experiment with vectoring and the pen tool. You can use C4D's and textures, only if they match the shape you have chosen. Don't forget to add lighting, depth etc. Then once you've done, you must rate each others banners. Assignments are due 9th of Febuary~ If you have any problems in completing this assigment by then, feel free to PM me or post in this thread and I will give you an extension. Either than that, you have no excuses to be late. (Any new students joining after this post will be illegable for an extension) Completed [Kayashi] Assignment #1; Grade A [t w e n t y - t w o .] Assignment #1; Grade A [.noxious] Assignment #1; Grade A [Gunners] Assignment #1; Grade B |
I already have a question about Assignment #1... *shot'd*
If we do not have a PSD for out worst tag, do we try and remake it or do we choose the worst that we have a PSD for? |
Well, since you're redoing your tag, you can remake it, since the PSD's won't be necesscary. If you use the old PSD, you'll just be adding on more layers.
Better to start fresh, but use the same sort of elements you previously had, but improved. |
Can we show our first ever sig then? lol then re-do it?
|
If you think that's your worst, sure I guess.
|

"Tell me what points in your banner/tag you think makes it bad, and what ways you can improve it."
:x |
darn, i should be in this class xD
|
=/
I'll post mine soon. I'll find one that needs a lot of improvement I guess =P |
No rush, you have a week and a half to complete it~
And RyuKun, you should go post in the Graphic's School discussions thread to apply for a class. :x |

I had some worse tags but I deleted them a long time ago... -No flow. -No depth. -Verging on monotonous. -Text sticks out like a clown at a funeral. It can be improved by establishing a line of flow and utilising it. Then we can add some nicer special effects so it isn't so boring and monotonous. I'd play around with gradient maps and colour layers to give it some oomph and look less monotonous. Then I'd blur and sharpen some parts to make some depth before finally putting some 'nice' text on it. |

dodgy effects, c4ds and stuff ( one of them makes it look like his arm pit smells) colour isnt good either |
And what you think might improve it?
|
Uh position c4ds better and use better, make sum color so its not just plain and boring lighting too
|
I did, but I ended up in Vivaa's class xD
Perhaps I can learn in both? I would love to learn two styles from different people. |
She's not teaching you styles.
Anyway here we go. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/McDukey/FoB.png It's got pretty horrible text, no C4D's, smudging, clipping masks. I suppose, some better text, clipping masks & C4D's might help it, maybe a smudge background as well. |
Yes t w e n t y - t w o, but it would also be better because she's been teaching me up to this point.

I wish I didn't sharpen it that much, but eh. :[ Better? |
RyuKun, I would appreciate it if you kept your dicussion in the Graphics School thread, thanks. :x

Kayashi's Grade; A Since you kinda finished a bit early, I haven't thought of a new assignment, so you'll have to wait a day or so. But feel free to post any graphics you'd like me to rate. |
Sharpness on Kayashi's banner makes great depth~
/sprints |
ROFL, INTRUDER!
Lol I am nearly finished my piece Malyka so I will have that posted up here very soon! |
I would like to join your class :o
*runs off to find worst tag* |

.noxious's Grade; A Everyone else has around a week to complete the assignment, I think Jess and Gunner's are the last one's left? |
Are we allowed to post tags for you to rate? I noticed you said that to another student earlier, just confirming.
|
Of course.
I suppose it's something you can do while I get another assignment up and wait for the others to get theirs done. |
Well I have a banner that I made yesterday I think that I posted in the Rating Thread to no success..
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee207/mattimogalli/revengecopy.png |
Well the effects are really nice, but the render doesn't really match with the purple background and sticks out a lot. Light source is good and it has some sense of depth but not much; with a bit of blurring and sharpening you could give it better depth. The white square at the bottom is rather distracting, since it's really bright and stands out a lot, I'm not sure if that's part of the light textures you've used or you did that on purpose. The text has good placement, but the E at the end is hard to read since it's near the render's shirt, so maybe a smaller size text would look better.
Eh, hoped this helped. XD; When it comes to rating, I'm not really good at it. :x |
Yeah the white box was part of the buildings stock used in the background so I might fix that up, same with the text and some more depth.
Can I repost it when I am finished for a secondary rate? |
Sure, though I'm not sure what else I could say about it. XD;;
|
Oh I would just touch up on the points you made so you can tell me if I did what you were expecting.
|
Oh well, okay, that I can do. XD;

meh the render is quite bad. Its got sum white lines that i only just realsies under his right armpit lol poorly rendered but oh well |
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/YunaDances/sotw.png
This is my entry for the first sotw. It's horrible. It's a render, with water texture, and lightened. There is no depth, and nothing interesting to it. Quality is horrible. :x To fix it, I could add some gradient maps, a way better background, more than like 2 layers, depth, flow, take out the text, or at least blend it more. And leave the quality. The blurry look doesn't work to well. XD; |
|
I think we are nearly due for another assignment.
If this place is still alive :/ |
Hey, Aizuke can I please join this home room? I'll try and get the first assignment in today.

-- Eh, my computer is crap so I can't see images. XD;; So I'll rate your recent banner, Gunners. Quote:

Assignment #2 This one is pretty easy, all you have to do is make a tag, but you can only use shapes. But! You can only use one sort of shape.

Assigment Two.
Okay, first time I've done something without a render/stock in quite a while. Anyways, went for soe smudging stuff & Circles. Just to be safe I smudged circles XD Anyways, it's alright. Here we go. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/McDukey/CirclesSmudges.png |
That's pretty awesome. XD The blank space on the side fits well, though it's blankness.
Next person to complete the assignment must rate Dukey's banner. |
Can we rate the other people's banners anyway? Like just because I've rated once doesn't me I can't again for example.
I assume we can, so I'll be rating everyone's :P |
Of course.
But this is like the graphics rating thread now, next poster must rate the above graphics. Harsh criticism is wanted, since you won't improve if you don't know what you're doing wrong. This is to help improve your criticing and being able to take harsh criticism. Since not everyone will be a fan of your work. Extra credit points if you rate more than one banner. :DDD |
Lol Extra Credit. That'll do a whole bunch :P
Anyways. I'll try to rate everybody's and I agree with what you said Mayka. Harsh Critiscm is the only way I got better :/ |
Well, I made a vertical banner, and had to use a different render. That one what that bad. But I stuck with the same subject. And I was brain dead while doing this but...
