S o n i d o ' s Graphics Gallery. [Shop included]

[Sonido]

I want to make this thread so people can rate me as a graphic designer. Please note some things, before you continue.

I only started making graphics recently, 2-3 weeks ago, to be precise and in that time I think I've progressed well in making some okay standard banners. Most of these, however have been following tutorials, so they don't have much creativity. I decided to open this gallery to show off some of my mediocre graphics skills and hopefully get help from other members of this forums graphics community.

Without further ado... the graphics.

Signature Sets
Please note these are in chronological order

#1

Featuring Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach. This was the day I received Photoshop, as soon as I got it, I thought "I'm going to make some world class banners." Speaks for itself, right?

#2

EEW! Just plain EEW, It's disgusting. Two Words. Smudge fail.

#3

I tried to implement some c4ds. I think it came out okay, however the text pretty much ruined it.

#4

One of my more recent Signatures. It came out okay as well, nothing special and I could have probably done a lot better.

#5

Probably my best sig. I tried to use the smudging and brushing to create flow and it worked okay. I didn't ruin it with text, yay!

#6

Made by following a tutorial from the Graphics and Photography tutorials thread. Thanks to Aizuke for the tutorial. It came out okay aswell.

#7

A free sig made by me. It took me an hour to do.

This is my first ever time in the graphic world so the only thing I want to do is improve, I need you great graphic artists to help me do so and maybe, just maybe I could get better and improve. Thanks.

Wow, #5 is really something. You have improved quite a bit in only 2-3 weeks, and #5 is better than anything I've ever done. The only thing I suggest is learning how to make text look fancier. Text isn't all about using three thousand effects on it, it's more about placement and matching the banner. A great place to put text in is an area that does not seem to have much "action" going on. What I mean by action is the render is basically the central focus of your signature, so you wouldn't want to place text right on top of that, since it's the action spot.

A great rule I learned in Communications Technology class was the Rule of Thirds.

In the image above you can see that there are lines drawn. The lines are drawn from a third of the picture, which is where the Rule of "Thirds" comes from. Where the lines intersect is where you want your main focus of the image to be. The goat or ram or whatever it is in the picture is in perfect position according to the rule of thirds. This can also work for a signature/banner, and still leaves you with a good spot to put the text, basically on the opposite side of the banner.

But that doesn't mean you can't have a render that's square in the center of the banner, it may still look good, I just find it easier to go by that.

Thanks so much for that, It will help me a lot with my future graphics.

Lookin' great :)

Last thing I can really suggest is learning how to make your text blend with the colours of the banner, you're style is pretty good though.
