Oh wow @ this whole topic.
Erin, they're cute but not "amazing" imo. When I clicked on this topic I was expecting a lot more. Like various people have said, not everyone sugar coats things. That's just life. Not everyone is going to nice. You just really need to take their criticism into consideration to becoming a better designer. Two pairs of eyes are better than one. I mean what's the point of posting in the Showcase Booth? To showcase your work and get opinions. You know that there will be something things people don't like and they will tell you. In a nice way or in a mean way. But enough about all that. Just... try something new. What if you try and vector all this? That could be a start. |

How long do you spend time on these? You realize the better you want things to look then your going to have to spend more than 5 minutes on it.
First image is really bland. Even though the night scenery isn't that active to begin with you could definitely do more with it. Like add a little texture to the moon and maybe some type of shine to the stars. Second image the tree looks messy and childish. Its like finger painting to be honest. The tree is dull there are only solid colours to it. Add some shades. Trees have different shades of green not just one colour. The trunk blending is very very messy. Also the apples are just dotted circles. First take away some of them and add a little shape and more colour to them. and we're not harsh we are trying to help you But alot of us are getting frusterated because it really seems like everything we say to you just gets ignored. |

QUOTE(Meimiko @ Jul 22 2009, 01:42 PM) This is a joke right? Just like the others Said, Its very bland and childish, kindof looks unprofessional especially if these s are layout headers The picture needs contrasts and some type of movement, shadings and mixes of colours And its look really bad when you show "fingerpainted 5 year old pictures" to people and say 'these are the best borders ever' And some of the critiques you are given are harsh in all, but thats how you get better, Dont just be ignorant, Truth Hurts Now if you dont get what some people are saying about shading and adding more details this may be a good example  Now it may not be the best, but its a good "visual" |

Although this is going to have nothing to do with the designs, because I'm sure she knows how the majority feels (and I agree with the majority), OP should know from experience how people react to her work. When she posts it's "amazing" she's setting herself up. This whole topic started wrong. theerinkal, you need to realize that the designers that we have here are top notch, so seeing something that looks like it was scribbled in paint isn't going to get great constructive criticism. Long story short, it looks like you're not putting any effort into your work, but are asking talented designers to put an effort in giving you feedback.
When it comes to the designs, try Nat's idea and vector something. Scratch this, read some tutorials on vectoring in GIMP. Find something simple to vector and put hard work into it. If you don't make an effort to try people's recommendations then I don't understand why you're asking for them in the first place. Just sayin'. |

i would never start a thread saying how amazing something is - even if you do consider them really good!
i mean, like everyone said, when posting you should probably expect somebody to diss on you.. but it takes a mature person to take the criticism and turn it into a source of growth, to get better. best of luck, and cute banners. |

Oh Btw
As some people were saying you were being a little shallow that your werent taking the cirtisism that were giving to you I looked at your site (just to peek) and saw this on the bottom -Quoted by your layout site "Questions I’d like you to answer in a comment: What do you think of my layout? HONESTLY! I want constructive criticism." " So here is the crituques that you were asking already |

QUOTE(rickysaurus @ Jul 22 2009, 02:33 PM) I don't understand how you see those as... anywhere remotely near good. If in your opinion you think these are awesome, then I don't what to say. This field isn't for you, or you better hope the miracle of all miraculous inspirations hit you. Hard. Out of curiousity, how long has it been since you started in design in general? Have you seen ACTUAL website banners? If yours are awesome, what do you call those? You have a thick skin, which down the road can be a good thing, but when you're learning, having a thick skin can only stop you from improving and make you an arrogant bastard (I've been guilty of that). I started coding when I was 8 and graphic/web designing when I was at least 13. I'm 16 right now. Yes, I have seen what you call "actual" website banners but I know I can't make that yet. Just because I'm not as good as some of y'all doesn't mean I should stop graphic and design. I mean are you guys idiots for saying that? Yes, yes you are.

My first vectors would probably look like normal graphics. I've tried pixeling and I also suck at it. I can't do any pixeling worth CRAP & I'm pretty sure it would be the same as vectoring.

then maybe you shouldn't ask for advice, i know you probably worked hard on them, or that's what you think, but you can do a lot better, we're pushing you to do better,
not making fun of you, but when you come out and say AMAZING, we expect amazing on CB. yet you give us this easy childish drawings that i can do in 10 seconds. its kind of a killer so what reaction do you think you were going to expect: ANGER/RAGE topic names matter, pick your topic names wisely next time: something like: critique me what do you think judge my graphics my headers, any comments? |

This has definately gotten a little out of hand. It looks like everyone has had their say (multiple times), and this is never going to end otherwise.
