Effort: 1.5/2 - Doesn't seem like this took you very long. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like a background, a logo, and some text. Look: 1.5/3 - You didn't center your text, you didn't even bother to get all of your margins consistent. I really don't like this one man. Creativity: 1/1 - Wish I could give you bonus points here. 4/6 --> 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yea you deserve these points at least. Look: 1.5/3 - For something presumably done in gimp, or even partially in paint, I'd say this is ok. I think you know it. If you want to get better post in the graphics section. Creativity: 1/1 - Honestly if we were allowed to give bonus points I suppose I would here. Or if anyone actually deducted here you would for sure get full points anyway. 4.5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Sure I see a lot of stuff going on here Look: 2.75/2 - I feel like you could have done a better job with color blending, as a lot of it is very clashing to the eyes. The background bars are also clashing with the flow. Creativity: 1/1 - =afdasdfl;asjdfasdfa 5.75/6

Effort: 2/2 - Sure Look: 2.75/3 - The effects are alright, but I don't really like the text. It pulls away from the rest of everything. I think something more subtle would've worked better here. Creativity: 1/1 - always with you 5.75/6

Effort: 2/2 - I think it really shows. Look: 3/3 - You sir, are the master of lighting. Like seriously, this is outstanding stuff. The depth is unreal. Creativity: 1/1 - I notice this one looks awkwardly similar to your current sig, to which I say keep doing your thing because its a unique style, but change it up too. 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Seems like. Look: 2/3 - The lighting in this is VERY strong (overpowering) and its a little washed out. I don't hate the brush work as effects, but I think you should erase the layer of black brushing or the layer of burning (whichever it is that you used for the darkness on the edges.) Also, when you did the lighting on your render, I think you should have turned the opacity of your brush down. The text is what really kills this though. I don't like the font choice, the effects, or the stroke, or the opacity. It looks like wordart. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure 5/6 --> 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yeah. Look: 3/3 - I love the render effects, and I love the isolation of the render and the empty feeling. Good work. Creativity: 1/1 - For sure. 6/6

Effort: 1.5/2 - Idk man I think you need to be posting in the graphics section for some pointers. Look: 1.5/3 - The colors clash horrifically, your render looks blurry, the text positioning and font choice is hurting. You should be thinking more about what the piece looks like as a whole rather than worry about each individual component as an independent. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure 4/6

Effort: 2/2 - And it shows. Look: 3/3 - I have nothing to say to this one. Flawless. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure 6/6 --> 6/6

Effort: 1.75/2 - I count 5, maybe 6 layers. Definitely need to see some more work done. Look: 2.25/3 - The outer glow on the text is very distracting. The render doesn't blend well, and the entire piece looks really flat and washed out. The effects are hardly effects, and the lighting needs work. I think you can do better. Creativity: 1/1 - Ok 5/6 --> 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - I'll give you full points because you did a "jersey change... Kind of." Look: 1/3 - The jersey changes looks like you hardly even tried. You didn't even rotate the logos. The bottom bar looks like it was copy and pasted from somewhere. The text doesn't work at all, it is very distracting. Honestly I think you should look on deviantart for some sig making tutorials and the like and return to this another time. Creativity: 1/1 - I mean I guess.... 4/6 --> 4/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yes for sure. Look: 3/3 - Honestly you're the only one that I think can actually get the stroke on a render to work and not look dumb. Honestly this is perfectly composed. I have no negative things to say. Creativity: 1/1 - Yep 6/6 --> 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - I see a lot of things going on. Look: 3/3 - I really like the entirety of this one. I love the effects, the text is part of the focal and the entire thing just works. Good work. Creativity: 1/1 - Yea I would certainly say so. 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yea I see a ton of work done. Look: 2.75/3 - My only complaint is the text. I think some grunged out fading away font would have looked much better here than the blocky, 8-bit looking font you chose. I like the coloring, I like the effects, and everything is blended well. Creativity: 1/1 - asdf 5.75/6

Effort: 2/2 - Hesitant here. It doesn't look like a ton of stuff was done. Very simple. Look: 2.5/3 - It's very washed out, I think if you got some more color in there this would be better. Having said that, I'm not a fan of the lighting or the text either. I'd like to see some more effects next time. Creativity: 1/1 - I suppose, I just don't know when its right to dock here these days. 5.5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yea I really like this. Look: 3/3 - I don't really have much negative to say man. I think the desat makes the coloring really stick, I think the effects are perfect, and this even works as a Jersey change in a way lol. Good stuff dude. Creativity: 1/1 6/6 --> 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yup Look: 3/3 - I'm really fond of this. I think the text is perfect, the effects are not distracting, your focal point is on point, and your lighting is great. No complaints, good work. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure 6/6

Can confirm, doesn't look like an emo teenager.

Effort: 2/2 - I feel good about giving you full points here. Look: 2.25/3 - I think there could be a lot more going on here to give some better depth and direction to the entire thing. Currently the background colors are clashing with the render colors, which isn't necessarily incorrect but you can use some layers dedicated to lighting to really improve on blending them together. I don't hate the text, I actually think it saves you a little bit. Currently the text is the focal point, as it draws the most attention. I think if you did something like apply image at the end, and then did some burning on the background and dodging on the render, as well as a bit of blurring on the background and you could really make this pop. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure. 5.25/6

Effort: 2/2 - Surely. Look: 2.5/3 - I think dropping the stroke from the text would really do this one a lot of favors. The text sticks out like a sore thumb, its very contradictory to the rest of the graphic. Otherwise good job. Creativity: 1/1 - Enough. 5.5/6 --> 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Pretty sure I'd be making a mistake deducting anywhere. Look: 3/3 - This is outstanding stuff. Creativity: 1/1 - Seems like you have an unique style 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - A good amount of work is present here. Look: 2.75/3 - I think the text could have been stronger, but I really like the rest. You did a really good job making everything come together. Creativity: 1/1 - Yes. 5.75/6
