Hey guys. I'm new and I've always had decent photoshop skills but never used it for anything until my girlfriend needed my help for her publicity homework. Anyway, this is an idea I came up with which I thought was super awesome...maybe not presented in the best way...but as an idea I thought it was good...and people, including my girlfriend, keep telling me its terrible even though I refuse to believe it. Anyway I was just hoping I could get some honest feedback from other people who don't know me and also have experience in the field. Thanks!
You might want to make the adidas logo more visible-- when I first looked at the image, I didn't even notice the logo and was confused as to what kind of publicity the image was supposed to be for. The logo doesn't blend in well and looks completely out of place, try playing around with the location of the logo to make it more visible.
yup, i think you should explore another style or place for the logo. But it's a nice start, keep up the spirit and keep desigining..
I'd go for a hue that doesn't compete with the other colors. The shade of red you went with drowns itself out. If you're committed to the red, a contrasting border could help the type pop.
