hello, back again. this is my first sig with some new efects, so just know that it is a testing sig. any advice though would be helpful.
I can see what you were going for when you made this sig, and it's decent, but there are a lot of components of a sig that this lacks. 1. It seems overcontrasted at parts and severly underconstrasted at others. Ie. over on right under on left. 2. Where it says "Wrath" it covers up your focal element. 3. The yellow-whitish glowing bit on the right is far too overcontrasted and doesn't go with what you did. 4. The white background behind "wrath" sticks out far too much. I suggest clearing that, and experimenting with all different fonts and colors. If you can't find anything that looks good, then make the text small and in a corner or cut it entirely. 5. There is absolutely no FLOW or LIGHTING. The sig looks like it's just a bunch of brushes and renders slapped on, and there is no movement in the design that draws your eyes to the focal point. The only lighting I see is the glowing brush thing that sticks out way too much. Use a soft white brush to add lighting to your sig. It will look better, trust me. If you need any more help, just message me here.
Depth is having a focal, foreground, background, and render. C4D's usually take place of the foreground, and add flow. The background is almost always blurred out. Sometimes though, it's left as it is because it carries a simplicity around it, so as not to distract from the focal. A good example of depth would be this; Spoiler No, this is not mine. Credit goes to kristeli10 Flashy focal, blurred background, and small foreground.
yeah, this was just me testing out some new effects and seeing how some of them would blend together. as I discovered, some don't work together at all.
