KIG's Photoshop Showcase----- Jarrett and Griffin

its not really good man. The cropping needs some work and I dont really understand what the Background is suppose to be?Like all of your other sigs the Text is not blended or has any effects on them. Same for your players. Try to put more effects on them. And try to do somehting with the logos aswell, they look so boring. Better if you justtake them out. What I would do (you dont have to do this) is take the logos and make them bigger. And put them behind the player and blend it with the background. Then put an effect on the pics. Then put the text in the middle and do something with that.

but try to read some tutorials, they will help.

Like always, wankster has no idea what the fuck hes on about.

Don't listen to him KIG, hes talking about flashy effects and shit when all it takes is basic principles to make a good sig. Gradients, lighting, colouring, depth.

That Gerrard sig is a nice manip, I wouldn't put the outer glow on the text though. Nice idea but he looks too yellow for some reason. Keep it up.

Thanks Peachy, BTW that might be my last sig for a while because Im going on vacation tommorow.

I have to say your best sig so far is the dirk one, keep up the good work

This sig took like 5 minutes, because I had to leave for the airport. So this was made on the 20th of July.

Brand new sig... Comments?

reggie bush is your new best sig so far
good work

Thanks Sniper, good to hear some compliments

It's pretty nice man, you're still in the early learning stages, but you're trying different techniques and colors and stuff so that's good.

Yeah, I saw the Quinn one on the other forums. Pretty good.

I voted for it.

i suggest you should get some new brushes, maybe some good grunge brushes, they can help alot

and maybe you should check out some tuts over here

lol @ wankster giving advice/criticism

It looks great except that it's Reggie Bush. Getting better with each one. Try experimenting a little more though, and varying your sigs once you get the basics of photoshop completely mastered.

You need to make your backgrounds better because they are fairly plain.

New Mario Williams sig... Commets?

mario williams one is real good
now this is just somethin in my opinion, but maybe you should put less glow to the left, like just a little glow around him, but the rest is dark, instead of having almost the entire left side bright. but thats just my opinion, it maybe good just the way it is.

hey these two new ones are great keep up the good work

Eh, just a gradient with pic, logo, cd scratch, and text, try to add more to the background.

Mario Williams is pretty nice Good job... too bad the Texans drafted him instead of Bush.

I tried something new with this sig by adding a picture that I lowered the opacity on. How do you guys like it?

You're improving . I just saw the Brady Quinn sig and I like it.
My advice is to make your sigs smaller (not always 450/400x100 but something like 300x100) so there isn't too many empty space. Your text needs some work too but it's normal, no one really is very good at text.

This is a request I made for someone, he wanted the same text as the Bryant sig.

First of all, the Mario Williams is your best so far. Colour and contrast is great. Text + logo don't really work, but whatever. It's good.

As for the newest, I'd suggest not just throwing the logo on like that, leave some negative space. And try to keep some of the aspects of the sig a little closer together, otherwise it spreads things out to much and messes with the focal point of your sig. Also Mr. Brandon there is waaaaaay too bright.

A manip of LeBron with a little bit of brushing.
