    Need a few tips, whats good/bad and preferably what i can do to correct them, also a rating out of 10 if thats not too much to ask.

    Thanks, this is my first time using PS CS4 and these are the outcomes of experiments i did, in the order i made them;

    1).[​IMG]
    2).[​IMG]
    3).[​IMG]
    4).[​IMG]


    IMO the last ones best, what do you guys think though?

    Overall is good but the "hero" look too burn, make it more clear will be better.
    personally i think the third is the best but if make the "hero" more clear, then the last might be the best

    They're not too bad for a first time. I was actually really into making signatures before i started creating logos and web design, i was pretty decent at it too xD
    I think the main thing you need to work on is the background, download some brushes and make a proper background that isnt trippy or distorted. Follow some tutorials, there are a lot out there, and join some graphic forums, pm me if you want a link to a good one.
    Once you get the background figured out, youll need to work on text, and then you need to work with c4d's lighting etc. But you'll get to that eventually.

    I like the first one, they could all do with some work though. Font's seem to be a weak point but then fonts arent my strong point either..

    I like the second one, but try to change the font of the text so it fit to the theme of the siggy. Overall I rank them to 7/10. Nice work buddy.

    You should follow some tutorials, youll find your work go so much better. At the moment the background doesnt fit in with the main focal at all. I mean, a water drop scene with an army guy doesnt really work, and text shouldnt bee too big, it shouldnt be the main focal of the sig, it should be added in subtly, but still noticable.
