The colors are better.

But Avril is a little too bright and there's too many scanlines going on.

I like your logo and overall organization/layout/idea.

[manny-the-dino]

k i'm being honest
-avril's too bright
-i'm not too fond of the background or the fact that you used "boba" a lot in the background.
-maybe you should take out the "ft. avril lavigne" & move it to somewhere else; the swirlies are too much.

sorry if i offended you, but i was give you my advice. lol

Lower the opacity of the lines on Avril, take of the "ft. avril lavigne", and lower the opacity or just complete remove the background "boba"s. Just some things I might try.

The cutting and the name is real nice though and the colors are what I like best.

thanks so much!!
the world needs more honest people (=
i was wondering what to do with
the "ft avril lavigne" thing
thanks!!!!!

[bobadesigns]

ohh yea i think i love overlay too much hehe (=
i'll get rid of some of it

[OhMyAnniee]

I agree about the Boba pattern in the back. To me, it makes the graphic look a little overdone.

I don't really like the circles and the details around the "Ft. Avril Lavigne."

I can't really tell, but I think you blurred the background lines? I think you should try a version without blurring it. The blur takes away from the clean lines of your other layers.

I would change the white font color of "Boba Designs" to the dark gray from the background or black.

Just my opinions

[bobadesigns]

thanks for your opinions
i never even thought about changing the font color
but now that you've told me
i think it would help the words stand out
you're really talented(=

[aaayotiffany]

it feels like there's too much going on in this graphic.

i don't think i need to say what needs to be changed because i think everyone pretty much stated all of it.
i can't wait to see the outcome of this after the pointers given!

[bobadesigns]

hehe i like this one better
i think i go over the top sometimes
and it makes it look horrible
i'm learinggg (=

[Comptine]

Like everyone else said, you plastering your name everywhere is tacky. You already have the HUGE logo on the image. No need for it in the background repeating.

[bobadesigns]

OMG
i really thought i took that out
lolol i feel stupid

first of all, there is a lot of image credit on there if you want to use it as just an image. if it's to promote your site then fine.
then cutting is nice actually, i think you've outlined her well.
i try to stress this to everyone with background texts, if you're going to slap your name all over the background, please change the opacity to between 10-30% depending on the image, so that you've still got it there and won't lose sleep, but it just looks a bit neater.
its very nice, the concept is good but from a personal preference, i dont think the colours work so well.
and her face is beyond bright, so try taking the image and going to image >> adjustments >> auto colour and see what happens.
nice job though, its just a bit too...happy?
