You're improving all the time Amanda. I think with text you need to experiment with lots of different fonts, but I once got given a great piece of advice, NEVER shove text in a corner somewhere, always try and make it fit in with the sig. Text is really hard to do, but your sigs are getting really great lately, your last two in particular have been your best yet ^^

 

[Aselia]

I made these a few days ago and forgot to post them...

EDIT:

Here is some stuff I just made and I LOVE:

And the textless versions of the sigs:

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

These ones are my favourite out of your latest update!

I simply love how vibrant your signatures always are! They're so attractive and there's always so much creativity within them.

The lighting is always brilliantly done and the effects are placed nicely.

The only thing that I've noticed that could do with some improvement is the text.

The first one is far too small, that you really need to squint to read it. I just think that if you're going to have text at all, it at least needs to readable, otherwise it's got no business there. =P

The next too are a good size, but I would suggest cleaner and more professional looking fonts. That's just me personally though.

Other than that you're doing fantastic work of late!

Keep it up!

This set is definitely cute!

I simply love how vibrant your work always seems to be!

It's absolutely fantastic!

The lighting is well done and the images you've used are clean and clear.

The only thing I can suggest is to maybe work on establishing a focal point in this one a bit more.

There's colours everywhere and effects and such and the image in the middle tends to get a bit lost amongst it all.

Try playing with your effects and lighting a bit more to get the focus on the middle part. =D

Keep up the great work Amanda!

This one *drools*

OMG first of all, it's KH Second, love the effects and the BG, nicely done. The lighting is also great as well. IMO you're lacking texture to the left a bit >_> Mebbes bigger text?

Keep it up Amanda!

 

[Gordon Freeman]

wow
you've really gotten good.
you should help me get back on the bus

I tried something a little bit different here. okay now those blue and white lighty spheres look like Brushes right? they aren't Last night I was fiddling about with iTunes and turned on the visualizations, and thought they were REALLY pretty, and then though that maybe they could be used in a sig like a C4d, I print screened a few different light sequences during different songs, and used some of them in this. I REALLY Like it myself

I must say it is your best one yet. The image looks clean, the colours suit each other nicely. The C4D you've used, the rays coming from the bottom, might look a bit more in place with a bit of ripple effect given to them.

I recently learned that myself, and there's nothing to it. (mainly cause Lewis is great to follow when trying PS stuff)

I'm not sure about the text, it sets me off, and I don't think the font suits it.

Either way, definitely prefer the one without text. xD



P.s. I've done the same thing with both media player's and iTunes' visualizations.

Someone loves muse a bit much

This one i really like, the colors are very attractive, and so is the big-boobed chick . The effects are eye-popping. however, the border color is not all that attractive. I would of chosen a red to white border, so it could go with the color scheme. Other then that, all is good

nice job

Some Doctor Who Stuffs!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This set is very pretty!

I like all the colours used and the pretty effects throughout the signature.

The focal is well positioned and the lighting well directed.

It looks very magical with all those colourful beams zooming around him!

I like the font you've used in the signature too! It's nice, clean and simple.

Keep up the great work!

 

[Aselia]

I'm hooked on this song atm, and I had to do a set that had to do with it
The song is: Under The Milky Way by The Church

This is one of your nicest pieces, I like the colours and effects, the lighting is pretty good and it looks really clean. The only thing that spoils the signature is the text. It's out of place, and the font doesn't match the rest of the signature. The avatars are perfect though.

I like these too, however, again, the text doesn't quite fit. The little ball of light in the signature looks out of place too. It's nicely made apart from those little things, and the smallest avatar is to die for.

With the signature, I love the lighting and how clear it is, but the right hand side is much better than the left. The C4D on the left seems too random, too disconnected and too sharp, it doesn't really match the flow of the rest of the tag. The text would look a lot nicer if the opacity was lowered and it wasn't bolded.

I think the text less versions of the signature look much better, the font doesn't flow with the rest of the signature at all. I prefer the second version of each too, as the blue/red thing in the top left corner doesn't go with the signature at all and looks cluttered and messy. I love the lighting used though, it's particularly effective in the avatar.

Sometimes with your C4Ds though, I think you need to blur them slightly so they don't look so sharp, cause then they stand out a bit too much.

I REALLY like this piece. It looks so simple and clean. I like the avatar more than the signature since everything flows perfectly. The blank space in the signature could have been filled by text, but it looks very nice how it is. Great job.

The text-less version and the avatars are gorgeous. It's very soft and pretty. It would have been better if both sides of the signature were blue, instead of the left being red and the right being blue, as then the green lighting would have been more effective. The red throws it off a little, which is why the avatars are the best here, they're lovely.

This piece is so pretty, once again, I prefer the text-less version, although the text used in the first piece works so much better than Bleeding Cowboys. I think it would have been perfect if the opacity was lowered and it was a little smaller. I think her face could have been darkened a little more, to help with blending, but overall, it's very nice. The avatars in particular, again, are wonderful, as all the best elements of the signature are in focus.

I think with the signature, the right hand side is very nice, but the left hand side is a little messy and ruins the flow of the signature. The lighting ball looks very out of place and doesn't go, and the C4Ds are too sharp. The text, while it works, is a bit too severe. It would have looked nicer if the opacity was lowered.

The avatar is nice, but I think it would have been better without the text. As then the lighting would be more apparent, and the focus would be on GaGa, as the lighting would then frame her.

I think the second signature is much better. I don't like the text in either, as they don't really match the flow of the signature.

With the first signature, I think you needed a light source to try and blend her more, and blur the C4Ds, they look too sharp and don't blend well with the rest of the signature.

Apart from the text, signature two is wonderful. Some of the C4Ds could be blurred a little, particularly on the left side, but overall it's really nice. I like the lighting and how you blended in this signature. It would be better if the right hand side was blue, and not red, as then it would flow wonderfully ^^ Wonderful piece dearie ^^

As with the GaGa avatar, this would have been better without the text, as it isn't blended and just looks slapped on. I like the effects used and it is a nice piece, but the text throws the flow off. And, there are some effects on her neck that stick out a bit too much.

I like this, but the avatar works better than the signature. If you had made the text smaller, and got rid of or smudged the red and green C4Ds on the right hand side of the signature, it would have been lovely and clean. It shows progression though, and it's one of your better piece ^^

I think there's a bit too much going on in this signature. I don't know where to look! The text sticks out too much too. The picture quality isn't too great, but you've done your best with it. The avatar is much better, as it isn't as cluttered and messy.

I think if you had moved the text and the effects closer to Wesker, it would have worked more. The effects are nice, but they just seem to be tacked onto the sides, rather than creating a flow and blending the character. I think a few gradient maps would have worked too, as it seems to be a patchwork of a lot of colours, and it's a bit too light.

I like this. The text is perfect and I like the lighting on the bottom. The two balls of light in the top right corner are a bit distracting and a bit too bright, and throw off the flow. I like the effects at the bottom and the complimentary colours you've used ^^

I like this one, but I think you've let yourself down with the text. It's too small and the cursive font doesn't really go. A but of smudging on the light balls would have helped them be blended in more instead of sticking out so much. I love the effects and lighting you've used though, it's one of your most striking pieces yet.

I like this one, I love the use of lighting and colours. The purple and blue are so complimentary of each other and work very nicely together. I don't think the cursive font works with this piece, as it's too small and hard to read, and just seems tacked on for the sake of having text. It needs to be a different font and closer to Matt. Excellent piece though.

I think this is your best set yet. The lighting is wonderful and I love the effects, you've integrated them wonderfully, so they look as if they're coming from the Doctor himself, instead of just being random. I love the text used in the second set of avatars, and you've placed it perfectly. The "Allonsy!" in the first signature is nice, but it would have been perfect if it was a bit smaller and closer to the Doctor. Your best piece yet.

I love this piece, the text works wonderfully and the colours used are striking. I'd suggest blurring the effect just a little bit, as it stands out a bit too much, and changing the green to blue, as the green bit stands out a bit too much and throws off the rest of the signature. It's why avatar 2 is the better one, as the green is barely in it. Wonderful use of lighting and colours (apart from the green) too, as blue and pink-red work so nicely together. Keep up the great work! ^^

Woo. I'm all caught up now. I've definitely seen a progression from you, Amanda. I hope you continue to improve ^^

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Very pretty!

I love the colours you've used!

The sparkles are very pretty and the text works in well with the theme.

I love how the lighting shines down on Tifa and how the surroundings are blurred to make her the focal. Great work on this!

Great positioning of the text and the fonts are cute too. =)

 

[Aselia]

My newest set!

 

[Shadra]

Very beautiful! There aren't that many good images of Kuja out there and I really like how clean this one is. Normally for a tag like this I would say that there is almost too much negative space, but I think it works very well with it. I love the lighting and the subtle effects with the clouds. The text is very nice too! It's flashy just like Kuja. lol Very nice work.

 

[Aselia]

Just made these, as I'm Watching Hamlet with David Tennant in it right now... I love Tennant >.>
