ok since everyone knows what vector style is well move on to c4ds. now c4ds are abstractish things one of my most favored designs. if you look at my current sig youll see a c4d to the left of the eye. so for the next assignment im going to make you search for a c4d that you like and post it here.

EXAMPLE:

ok yes please edit your posts and put them in spoilers before my hardrive crashes my bad.

EDIT:

ok now since all of you know what smudging is i want you to make a simple smuge banner and use your c4d. try diffrent blending modes but normal is good since i noticed all of you have transperent c4ds. ill make one myself too.

Uhm EvilCheese, I wrote in my "exam" thing that I have no idea how to smudge. I will attempt a smudge banner but I assure you it won't be to standard. If you could post a tut or just write how that would be fantastic!

yes not one of my best works actually its probably my worst but i threw it together in like 20 seconds.

well you get the point.

the thing that that you have to remember in both smudging and c4ds is the flow

flow is very very important in any banner for a flow you have to have a nice direction that goes both with your banner and every other effect. now in my banner there is a bad flow because of the c4d. its hard to find a c4d that will flow with your banner. you can also use other effects to make it match your banner. such as hue saturation and erasing parts the cover your focal and parts that look bad. remember the c4d i posted earlier? it had a black background right? so i use a blending mode that got rid of black such as screen, lighten, linear dodge and color dodge. remember people dont become good in one day it takes several tries and through trial and error can you only succeed
