Just a few tips
- When choosing images focus on choosing the ones that have smooth color. For example look at Lindsay in the green jacket/shirt whatever it was. Can you see how hte shades of green don't match and look pixelated stay away from those. Choose images where her skin is clear , and so is the coloring. It may be easier if you go to fansites and choose photoshoots when your first starting. That way you don't have the quality issue to worry about.
- When first starting try not to overdo it. Background doesn't match. So I'd suggest starting with something simple. Keep the photos background etc.
- Text , If you're going to use it it needs to match the entire image. Your text matches the background, yet not the rest so work on that.
- Color schemes. Try choosing colors that match better. Red + White = good. Red + white + yellow + the gazillion other colors = bad. You have to try to choose some things that match better. Not bad its just your color schemes are all over the place.
- Blending. With cutting hair is hard so I know why yours was shaky but either leave some more space or instead of cutting and blending try to use the original photo background etc. That way you don't have to deal with the hair problems. If you use photoshop pen tool is one good way to go. Also you'll have to try different techniques till you find your best method which is good.

So take your time and keep trying different techniques. You'll get better and better. _smile.gif

Well said. I agree. The background is out of place.
