I agree with mike a little but even though they are basic they are really good! As designers we will criticize them for being to basic but to the average person they would love them.

i think you could add a little more to the text to make it POP and stand out more. the first one is low-quality, and the last one looks slapped together - the images and text don't flow. the other three are pretty good.

I agree that they are a bit too basic and that it just looks like some text and images slapped on, well at least that's how the 1st and last look like. I think that the actual good ones are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Although, it seems like you used the same font for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Otherwise, nice try.

Like everyone said: they're a bit too basic. My favorite ones are numbers 3 & 4. Most of the images are low in quality though "/ Try & use higher quality images. Instead of cobbing images & pasting them onto backgrounds why not make a blend? Speaking of cobbing, it's a tad choppy; make sure you use a hard brush versus a soft brush. But nice job.

okay thanks for the feedback i've been trying diffrent things with blending and this is a new one i tryed blending plez let me know if it looks any better..

[artisticmelodies]

okay..well could you exsplane to me how to blend renders? i have no clue how to do it and all the tuts i've tryed make no since i know how to blend images together just not renders so could you or somebody else tell me how to? it would help out lots and lots

[artisticmelodies]

haha okay sounds good :]

hmm heres another one tell me if its better or worse then the last one so i know which way of blending i should go..

okay heres one i just made....let me know whatcha think

[Mikeplyts]

It's still really blurry on the edges. And when they said blending, they meant that if you have two or more images, instead of just clipping them out, you have to blend them together. Just keep trying.

[artisticmelodies]

i duno i guess i'm just dumb i try to blend them together then it looks like a little kid drawing outside the lines..

[manny-the-dino]

Blends are really easy to do. And can be fun. Here are some examples of blending. The graphics you just posted aren't blends. The first one, the cob has soft edges & could use some work. Remember to have the eraser's brush's hardness set to 100 like I said before. But your "Love" banner looks cool.

[artisticmelodies]

okay so i did what you said and went around it with a hard brush i know the left jawbone looks really weird cuz something happend when i walked away and it wont go away but other then the deformed jaw how did i do? plez let me know!!

[manny-the-dino]

It looks A LOT better now. I don't think his jaw looks weird at all. Good job.

[artisticmelodies]

i'm so exsited! thats like the first thing that someone told me i was doing right YES! dunndunn movin on up :] haha....yeah i see what you guys do know its starting to make more since before i was trying to like smudge it in and it looked weird...so now i'm getting the point of blending

[Mikeplyts]

It's still pretty basic and plain though. You should add like some kind of coloring to it and maybe some effects or something.


":thumbusp:" <---LMAO.

[artisticmelodies]

mmk theres a new one ^^ up there at the top plez let me know whatcha think :]

[Mikeplyts]

That's definiteley much better! Not really much bad to say.

[manny-the-dino]

I think the one you just added is cute. Not sure if you meant for the edges to be a bit choppy but it works. :)

":thumbusp:" <---LMAO.

[Mikeplyts]

Watchu talkin' about, Willis?

why thank you

[Datrooper]

If you have ps cs3, there is a feature called "Refine Edge" I use this for my blends, and it lets you: smooth, feather, contract, expand the edge of your selection. It works great for blends, give that a shot. Just keep trying man, you'll get it

[artisticmelodies]

aww no i have gimp..there's something like that on gimp but its kinda a failer and it doesn't work very good..or maybe its just the user :] ha

heres a new one...the before picture is just them with dark skys behind them...soo plez let me know if you like it and how i did on my image blending...i know the text isn't put together very well but i'm learning how to do more text stuff so one day it'll look better... ;] but over all let me know how i did

[Mikeplyts]

Wow, this one is nice! You definiteley did an improvement! The blending and background look pretty good too. Awesome job!

[manny-the-dino]

You did a pretty good job on it. I don't have any criticism. Very nice :)
