I made it for my temple's anniversary. I just thought it'd be interesting to hear others' opinions. And it's sort of important that I don't submit anything "ugly." (:





-THANK YOU!


btw, I can get pretty girly with my designs -_-"

It's pretty good but it seems a bit too bright, imo. The text is also kind of hard to read. >_>

Its basic, but pretty. You set the contrast and brightness a little too high. And the brushes are a little cliche but they work. You should make the grey bar a little bit transparent.

Bad, but only because we are all designers. Brushes are very overused but as a final product it is pretty.

Is this just for personal use? If so then it is fine.

It looks pretty clean. :] And it's good you toned down the brightness of the image. I like the colors of the brushes; they go well together. Font looks nice as well, but I think you can find something better.

Posts merged. I agree with Mark. There's nothing bad about it, but it's not exactly amazing.

I've never been good enough to hit "amazing," but thank you for all the advise! (:
I'm going to change the font now. I've never been good with fonts, any ideas?

This might take awhile. My computer can't handle it... My photoshop keeps closing on me!!



Um... Is that any better? Fonts and I just don't connect too well....

Kathy, I merged some of your posts since you were double and triple posting.


I think this one looks the best. Some subtle editing to the photo would look nice as well. :)

I wish the picture wasn't so high in contrast/brightness. It looks like it's a lovely place. Which temple is that? It reminds me of a temple I used to visit in Hacienda Heights, CA.

I think I like this picture better anyway. So how does this look? Is it better than my other one? Anything I should change on this one?

It's alright, but I'd like it better if you removed those little grid lines and the red text is pretty hard to read so you should try darkening that some.

My friend told me to remove the heart. Should I do that as well?

Well, I fixed what you told me(:
Still deciding about the heart?

Aw.. it's too late, I already printed it. That would have been great though. Everyone else was like either get rid of it or keep it. :\
