featuring the sexiest man alive: chad white

The shirt colors match the opposite side's background colors too much. I know that was intentional, but it doesn't look that great.

The black smudge on the right side image is sort of out of place and poorly positioned. I like the brushes used where the text sits, and the text doesn't seem to fix with the style of the wallpaper (I don't know, it just looks really weird). I also agree with Cristy about the pictures and color. It doesn't work. The gradient also looks like their is more fading on the left side than the right side. You should fix that, because I noticed it right away. The background "vintage" pattern looks nice and all, but it just doesn't work with the piece, but it does work with the colors given. Also, the stroke on the font seems a bit weird too. >__> Maybe it's just me. I think you did all right though.

well the gradient was preset by photoshop..i didnt add more color to one side to the other.and im not sure how the colors match "too much"...it be kind of ridiculous to have them not match the shirts.

I know that photoshop doesn't make it even, but if you knew this little fact, you could have fixed it, no? ;). I know that you didn't add more color to the other side, because the gradients turn out to be lopsided. Although it would have been nice if you fixed the gradient. I think Cristy means that it's a bit too much matchy-matchy. Sometimes it's good if you mix the colors up a little bit (colors that compliment each other, don't just stick in like a ugly looking red or a bright orange). And one question, what font did you use to write "chad white?" ;).

uhm, the font is pea mystie unicase...what font do u think i should use?



and ill try and fix the gradient now....i have to redo it all tho >.> shouldnt take long.

Ah, figures that it was a pea font. :). I think you should use more of a plain and simple font to keep it clean, yeah? I think the font used was way too girly to match his manliness (if that is a word? D:). I suggest using Print Dashed or maybe just use one of the default fonts such as Times, Georgia, Arial, or anything between those lines. You could also spice it up by fixing the kerning/spacing and etc. :). Don't forget to post it once you fix it. I'm sure it'll be great after the final draft =).
