The Cheese Class is inSession

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!
 
[PokeCommunity.com] The Cheese Class is inSession

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
 
that was better than my first go xD.

anyway what i wanted was for you to put the c4d over the render since there is no blending but it looks fine as it is so ill give you a B+ (dont worry i gave mine a D)
 
no need im waiting on the other students.
 
@Akari - the only thing i see wrong with the banner is emptiness and no flow. your c4d is going up right diagnol. while your renders arm is going up left diagnol. so your grade is B-

@DC - im not loving the text but hey im not an expert at text so who am i to talk? your flow is nice i wanted to keep these banners simple but all of you used other effects but thats okay. A+
 
Actually, that's just several C4Ds blended on a smudged background.
I used several blending modes and adjustment layers. =)

About the text.. any advice on that? I always suck with the text.
 
like i said im not good at text either but i find that a text clipping mask looks cool.
 
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.
 
well i think my class is on spring break that will give my new student time to catch up.
