Briamoth Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 He mist have changed it or something, LibbyH. Yeah, I did. I just decided it was better looking without the text at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briamoth Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Nice job burn. Maybe add some effects inside the text but that's really all I can think of. What do you guys think of this signature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 the glow behind the text is too strongalso you could add some stars etc Is this better? The stars made an big improvement. Now the text needs anti-aliasing. The glow wasn't 100% totally bad, you just needed less glow, in my option. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

burningrock Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I can't think of a good border for this : Quote Burn's awesome dragons, click them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0(-.-)0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 How's that? I selected the border and ran Hue/Saturation. Then I went to Borders n' shapes and made a 1px black border with 0 :AntiAliasingOn:. Experiment Also, its pretty nice just as it is. I like the transparent border. Keep up the good work.

007 Nab Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know your question was regarding the border, but I would move the text to the right about 15% - I think it would help the focus of it all Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Kemaru Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I don't know if this counts as an image problem, but is it okay to use a public domain PSP-logo in a PSP-wallpaper? I highly doubt Sony would sue me even if I used it but I want to know before I post it on dA.

Frontcannon Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Kemaru, it's public domain. If you distribute it under the same or a similar license (I don't know devArt, but you can dl every picture you see there, right?), I see no problems. Also I highly doubt Sony would sue me CORRECT.

0(-.-)0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I made this as a title page for a brochure for a school project. All PDN except for the picture at the top which I edited a fair bit and the flag which I used the very helpful Google Image Search plugin. Any comments on how to improve it? I don't really trust myself to think it done... Quote - Any thoughts? - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I love the colours and the overall design, but I think font isn't great at all. It looks fine in the logo but I think the paragraph should have a simple sans-serif typeface, like Myriad or Tahoma. Also, the blue effects in the background are going from top-right to bottom-left, whereas text is read from left to right, so you may want to flip that.

0(-.-)0 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks I'll check out those fonts and I didn't even think to flip the effects. I'll be sure to do that. Thanks again. Quote - Any thoughts? - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I like the lines and the orange-blue combination. I'm sure the finished version will be great.

Sarkut Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 0(-.-)0, I agree that the font has problems. The text looks crowded and the tops/bottoms of some letters are too thin. It has an old-fashioned look, I wasn't sure whether that was deliberate, as a nod to Nova Scotia's long history. If you switch to a less problematic font, try a moderate drop-shadow under the text and flag. See how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatAdZ Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Emergency image, incoming! Help! First of all, it just looks really bad. The glow around the planet itself looks awful. Also, help on planet textures would be a God-send, mine have no depth. Oh, and any idea how to, like, add stars behind the planet. I tried using noise, but it made the stars look too uniform. I need some bigger / brighter and some darker. Plus the issue of getting them behind the planet. I'm relatively new here and to PDN - talk to me like a n00b. :wink: Quote See All My Creations Here New To PDN - Any Tips or Constructive Criticism Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 FatAdZ, If you use Shape3D to form the planet, be sure to put a checkmark next to Anti-Alias and raise the strength to 4 or 5. This will reduce the jaggy edges. Any use of the MagicWand or other selection tools on any layer is likely to add jaggies back to the outline of the planet. =================================== Basic starfield: Fill a layer with black. Add noise @ 100 0 2 Position it as the bottom layer in the Layers window and it will be behind the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urnemanden Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Try eventually to add a "phong" in the Shape3D Settings to show the planet reflecting the sunshine. Eventually some relief or height field to normal could give the planet a less flat look as well. Quote About - Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Duplicating the planet's texture layer and setting the blendmode to 'lighten' or 'darken' works wonder in case of depth. Then, make two noise layers. The first one as Kemaru said, and apply a blur on the other one. More depth!
