I've only made 2 proper attempts on photoshop.







Call Of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 Like you wouldn't know.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







The Twilight Saga - New Moon, Jacob Black ( Taylor Lautner )



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Bojan, F.C Barcelona

I like the Call of Duty one, just take out the date across the guy as that looks a bit iffy http://fmdiscussion....R#>/thinker.png I like everything else though.



I like the new moon one aswell decent use of colours.



KIU, you can only improve http://fmdiscussion....winkdefault.gif +1

[Joe_McG_88]

Yeah i did have 2 of the, one with the date and one without...me being me i deleted the one without the date lol.



I only really use photshop at my mates, not got it on my new lappy yet



+1 cheers dude

You're good for a starter, if you continue listening to C+C and keep making stuff, you will develop Max-Like I believe. Your creativity will benefit from it aswell. http://fmdiscussion....n_thumbs_up.gif



The CoD one is a good idea, but the main render is too small and the grey guys should be more faded away, the background and if you used some textures it would be lush. Maybe a border aswell. http://fmdiscussion...._DIR#>/grin.gif



The Twilight one is the better one imo, I like the general idea and simpleness of it, text placement is good. Colouring is good but still a bit rough, I would like to see a border on it though, try out using textures to make full sigs and such instead of just manips. Don't get me wrong, I love manips.



KUTGW!

[Joe_McG_88]

I actually know nothing technical about it, i just flick through the effects and stuff till i get what i want



Awesome advice, though who is C+C ?

[Dobi]

C+C means Constructive Critiscism http://fmdiscussion...._DIR#>/grin.gif



It's not a person http://fmdiscussion....O_DIR#>/^_^.png

[Joe_McG_88]

It looked as though it was a person sorry



No problem, thanks for the advice, just have to get photoshop back on my lappy

C+C o/



Read some tuts aswell, sportgfx.com has got some great ones http://fmdiscussion....winkdefault.gif

[Joe_McG_88]

Now i know that means tutorials http://fmdiscussion..../grin.gif...not a fan of tuts to be honest, i like to use something and find my own way around it, done the same thing with FM, i've never looked at the manual...well once...to find out the activation code



I like to hear the views of other people, and work from there, rather than have a tutorial on certain effects you end up just using the simplest effects etc, well i would anyways, so i always take the hard route http://fmdiscussion....>/smilenorm.gif

[Sveziane]

Thats's quite interesting tbh, reputation for you for definately trying to get your own style, if you keep improving your work will be well-recognised http://fmdiscussion....>/smilenorm.gif

[Joe_McG_88]

Thanks dude +1 !



I do it as more of boredom thing rather than make them for people, but in saying that, if someone asked me to make them one i guess it would be a good challenge to get what they want into my style http://fmdiscussion..../smilenorm.gif.

[kerrdavidson95]

Thats the same as me, only my sigs are rubbish. I read a good tut on sportgfx.com and it got me into making sigs and stuff, I've taken the Torres one I made off my signature because I needed the lines for my career.



Good work though and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[Joe_McG_88]

Original post is updated, i made that one last night after i downloaded CS4, which software do you guys use ?

[Dobi]

I've got CS4 http://fmdiscussion....n_thumbs_up.gif



That Bojan one is actually amazing http://fmdiscussion....IR#>/mellow.gif Can't really fault it +1

[Joe_McG_88]

Thanks dude, i've only got the trial version http://fmdiscussion....IR#>/sad.gif...

[Joe_McG_88]

Right....need sugestions on a sig to make next, i'm looking for something that i can use a lot of detail in, have different images etc in, canvas size will be 500 x 200 so try and consider that.

[Dobi]

World Cup?



A lot of choice there and you can have a lot of fun with it.

[Sveziane]

Well, tbh I'm not a fan of how you made the Bojan sig, but it's a good and creative idea.



Firstly: He is not blended in, not even a bit, looks a bit crazy.



Secondly: The render effecys are bad and make him look terribly LQ. Try duplicating the render layer and use different layer stiles; color dodge, color and such. Then play around with the opacity.



And I really think you should check some tutorials out, not use them, just to learn some basic skills you know http://fmdiscussion....winkdefault.gif



Keep up the great work though, looking forward to seeing more!

And if you post your sigs in different posts you are able to get rep for each one http://fmdiscussion....#>/rolleyes.gif

[Joe_McG_88]

I'm not really making them to get noticed, i'm not really bothered with all the technical ways of photoshop, i only do it when i'm bored, i'm not as involved in it, ut thanks for the comment

[Sveziane]

Haha, just me being a dick and pointing out what I think http://fmdiscussion...._DIR#>/grin.gif
