What do you think about it? its been rejected a lot, nd wanted to know how i can improve it and ideas, thankks

I like the concept and the quote - but the design needs to be stepped up a little.

Firstly, what is it that you're trying to create? A banner? An avatar? The size is making it a bit obsolete.

Once you've got your proportions down, work on the text. Yellow, pixellated text squished into the bottom corner isn't doing your idea any justice.

[rizzee]

Well, im trying to create a banner, I cant find any good places to palce the text, could place it in the same position, but upwards so its a bit above the nails if you get me XD

EDIT: the text doesn't look pixelated to me

[S-Majere]

Sorry, I didn't mean pixellated - I meant blurred. Try using the anti-aliasing tool on Photoshop to fix that.

OK, so you're creating a banner - typically banners will have a greater width than height so you'll need to get that sorted.

To make your text stand out more, try using a white color and drop shadow the text. Set opacity levels to whatever you think is best.

For banners to be accepted on Createblog, you'll need to demonstrate a medium to high level of creativity, effort and design. That does mean using different layering techniques, brushes and smartening up fonts.

i agree about the proportions and colors. the font just doesn't fit for me, maybe if you used something that stood out more?!?! but i do like the idea/concept & quote.

[rizzee]

ooh, thing is om not great at photoshop >.<
if i make the width greater then the height, it'll kind of ruin the picture.
im sure i used anti aliasing on it
meh ill have another go at it

thankss

any more ideas or advice?

yes, you can't just take a picture and add some text on it.

i do like the concept, but i don't think the gray and yellow mesh together very well. the font also looks a little plain, so maybe choose one that stands out a little more (you can go to dafont.com), or add effects (like outlining or shadows)~like people above have mentioned already

I agree with all remarks said here...

A word of advice:
Don't try to resize the picture to a larger size. What you need to do is either A, increase the CANVAS size, or B obtain a larger picture. I'd go with B.

I'm not making it bigger, im making it smaller. The original photo size is huge

i don't really like it, i guess its because of the font? the yellow really doesn't fit the photo for me. try using a font and color that works better.

[rizzee]

i'm back with a new banner, well the same but changed a few things



Hope this is a bit better, i looked at a few tutorials on here, but none really suited this image, or i couldnt get it the way i wanted it.

Anyways, tell me what you guys think! and how i can improve nd stuff

[Glamourouz]

It looks a lot better but I still think you should probably do something with the text, like an outline or some effect unless you just wanted the text to look that way

[manny-the-dino]

well..
first off, i LOVE the picture.
very good capture.
as for designing a banner using it, i can tell you really want to use text.
i'm trying to think of how you can incorporate text into this.
you can just trying submitting it as a stock photo.
it most likely get accepted.
but as for a banner...
i'm fresh out of ideas.
if i come up with one, i'll edit my post

[aaayotiffany]

hmmm, this is better. the color of the text fits the image better, but i'm not too sure about the positioning of the text.

i agree with natalia. you should try re-submitting it as a stock photo without the text.

[rizzee]

wehey, thank you!

The position of the text is a little odd, still trying to figure out where yo put it.

i dont mind not having text, but i kinda wanna get a point across with the picture..Stock photo would probably be best.

Thanks everyone

EDIT: Ok..turns out it was a little boring without the text, and got rejected..again.

said i should use some brushes, i downloaded a whole bunch, but not sure how i can use it to this image..anyone help? thankss
