I made this sig at school out of pure boredom. I happen to really like it. It's been my active sig for a while, but I plan on changing it, which is why I wanted to share it and maybe even get a quick critique. Tell me what you guys think.
I think it's incredibly simple. Of course, simplicity can always be your strength in a piece, but it's not the same when you're just pasting together prefabricated images. That, and the text is bugging me. It's too bold compared to the other elements of the image.
Basically this. Text creates double focal since it's so pronounced. Usually ya put it next to the focal (the spartan), to be safe. Gotta make the text subtle yet visible so it doesn't detract from the focal, but is easily readable. Otherwise, it's so simple, just text and an image.. Not a whole lot interesting going on as far as modifications go, which makes it just another "cropped reach screenshot" TBH. But keep working at it, it takes a little practice yet. Edit: Now that I look at it again, it seems you blurred some parts a bit. You did a good job with blurring Helps create depth and make it less flat.
Thanks, Erico. I guess the text does stand out a bit too much... I'll keep that in mind for my next sig.
