  4. Hello Alex Bridges, I have arrived to give you a review on your graphic. To start, I think this quality of graphic is definitely passable for tpe. However, you have a long way to go before joining the ranks of VHL sig god, but you just might have the ability to make it there one day. Pros: - You've chosen a color palette for your graphic and stuck to it. I think the pink/white/black color scheme looks good. - You've done a semi-successful jersey change/logo swap to your VHLM team. Nice! - You've used multiple fonts for your text, and added some text effects (a drop shadow) which is good, and better than just a single text layer with no effects. Cons: - The dimensions of the graphic are too small. Shrinking (or, SCALING) existing images too small results in a loss of quality. Your graphic is 379 pixels x 260 pixels. I think the smallest you should ever make your sim league graphic is 400 pixels x 200 pixels. - Your jersey change, specifically the COLOR SWAP, is amateur at best. The simplest way to effectively change the color of a jersey is to use a HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer with a LAYER MASK. You simply apply a hue/saturation adjustment layer, and slide the 'hue' slider around until the color you're looking to change, changes to what you want it to be. From there, you use a LAYER MASK to "erase" the entire hue/saturation layer, except for where you want the color change to remain. - Whenever you want to scale (re-size) an image, you always want to right-click it in your photoshop layer and go to 'CONVERT TO SMART OBJECT'. Also, you want to hold SHIFT whenever you are dragging something to be bigger/smaller, as it maintains the existing proportions. In this graphic, the Miami Maurauders logo looks really pixelated/low quality because it was scaled down too much AND wasn't scaled down as a SMART OBJECT. Like I said before, this graphic is definitely passable by VHL standards, and I don't intend to be mean/rude, but hope that I can provide you with some constructive feedback. Gorlab's rating: 3.5/10
  5. Hello jared. I am here to review your graphic. I think the quality of graphic you've submitted here is in jeopardy of potentially being rejected in the future. Ultimately, you've taken a pic of a Florida Panthers player, added some text layers (I appreciate using different fonts for the different text elements though) and a screenshot from the vhl portal. Pros: - Your graphic provides us some statistical information for your player, which is good. - You used a hockey player, which is on-brand with the VHL. - You used different fonts for different elements of the graphic. It's not all the same font, which is good. Cons: - Florida Panthers logo is clearly visible. Normally you'd want to do a 'logo swap' or 'jersey change' (you can youtube both of these terms for a tutorial on how to do it) to your team's VHL logo. - The graphic itself is too small. You've gone with dimensions of 320 pixels x 180 pixels. I think the smallest you want to go, for a sim league graphic, is 400 pixel width and 200 pixel height. The graphic is so small, it's almost impossible to make out the text in the VHL Portal screenshot, across the bottom of the graphic. - There's really no attempt at anything artistic here. We have a picture of an NHLer with some text on it. Here is a classic sim league tutorial about making signatures/graphics which has a lot of useful information: Here is a VHL sub-forum which also has 5 pages of threads that have additional info / resources for making a good/passable graphic: https://vhlforum.com/forum/103-resources-discussion/ Gorlab rating: 2/10
  6. F - Chad Magnum @Peace for 2 picks I believe
  7. NEW QUESTIONS: 1. Moscow Discord has been popping lately with the addition of Doomsday and our S72 draftees. Have you posted any eyes in the eyes channel? 2. What was the biggest S72 free agency move? Vancouver signing Gritty & Smitty, Davos signing ACL Tear, or Moscow signing backup goaltender Clayton Park? 3. VHL has done a big recruitment push again. Has there been any new VHL members who have made an impression on you? 4. Are you playing any video games lately? What was the last game you sank significant time into? 5. Moscow is off to a 3-2 start for the S72 season. We're still playing well and beating Malmo. Who's going to have the most PIMs on Moscow this season? 6. Do you think Victor will be able to travel again in 2020? Where do you think Vic should take his next vacation?
  8. Nameplate change is pretty well done. Gj.
  9. I think you may have the unteachable eye for style that can propel someone into becoming the next great sim league graphics god please keep submitting VHL graphics and honing your skills.
