Yours, "Look Ahead" piece looks really nice, but there is a lot of blank space, and the text colour of your username stands out more than the piece title .

I love that Milky Way and Anime (.hack) banner. Pretty good for a person with only two and a half months of experience. I especially love the colors.

The Look Ahead banner is also nice as well, but I'd have to agree that there's too much white space and the background cuts off too soon. Also I don't like how the abstract render works on this one, sorry.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
Archangel: I have friends on MSN that have been teaching me from day one. They taught me all the basics and how to make a decent signature in about a week. Plus, my uncle knows all about this kind of stuff so I gathered some knowledge from him as well. I really wanted to get into this kind of stuff, plus I knew all of the tools before I even got Photoshop, so it wasn't too confusing for me. Sure, the first batch of signatures weren't too good, but I got the hang of it and started to improve quickly. I try to work on Photoshop as much as I possibly can. That being said, the signatures that I have posted up there aren't the only ones I have ever made. I didn't just start out like this.
Thanks for the comment.

Can't say too much about this..certainly not my best effort but I was playing around with my new pack of effects that I downloaded and this piece came together. Just noticed that yellow on her back..oh well. Couldn't find any spot that would look nice with text.

Alright, thanks for the tips.
A few new things.

Header:

Simple and easy to make. Not sure if I should keep the Play. Explore. Relax. part.

Signature:



Going for a simple but pleasing look. Should I keep the circle or ditch it?

I'd say ditch the circle on your latest signature. The blurred duplicates on the left and right look really nice here. It gives it a bit more depth. And of course the trendy effects look trendily trendy.

As for the header...hmmm. Personally I'm not a fan of the boxes nor the sharp bevel (makes me think of those websites that still use those trends) and I'm not sure about that balloon-present thing floating on the right side either. It just looks detached from the rest of the header. Also, why not use the AC:CF logo? If you just use the logo instead of just plain text, you can make it much more interesting.

sumazndude: Yeah, I'm into graphics. Thanks for the comments.

Phenomena: Haha, thanks. I got the stock from a stock photobucket that someone posted on another site.

The Answer: Alright, thanks for that. I'll be sure to edit the header a bit later.

Archangel: That's what I was thinking.

Starborn: I like my sizes. For the blurriness, I was trying to make it have more depth.

I was trying to give this a realistic feel for a battle somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, no border. I'm not into those. 1 or 2?

Looks squished.

Only criticism I can offer without repeating Archangel.
