N0HBDY 1,131 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Great job for your first graphic though! The player and logo swap in general look fantastic, you’ve definitely had some experience with photoshop. In your inspiration photo the player takes up a bit more space than yours is in this graphic, which increasing his size doesn’t seem like too bad an idea. I hair on him looks *muah* perfect, I can’t imagine the trouble you went through to try and make it work. Overall 8/10 Shindigs 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/112033-first-contract-first-graphic/#findComment-888332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeonShaman 214 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Review: This is an extremely clean graphic, the logo swap is fantastic and looks great, the city in the back with that amazing hair swap that looks so good, and the signing text being the high points. The one thing I would suggest is making everything sized a bit better. Making the signature bigger and making the player himself bigger would go a long way in making this feel like a more full graphic. Very good for your first one though. 8/10 Shindigs 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/112033-first-contract-first-graphic/#findComment-888390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what took a tonne of time was trying to remember how to do things that I haven't done in over 3 years. The rust was real. The hair was just some free transform and extract with a multiply layer to add shadowing on the right side of the flow.

And yeah I already had that image of Slavin saved to use for it. But if I sized it up more his leg would either clip the "signed" or his head would clip...well his own head. I should have gotten another one but I was like 3 hours deep at that point and just wanted to finish. I experimented with adding the number as its own graphic where I eventually put the autograph, but it looked wrong. Wasn't 100% satisfied with the autograph either. But I don't have a pen to work with and making autographs with a mouse makes me want to punch things. So I called it "good enough".

Eynhallow 412 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Real nice graphic. Lots of layers. I particularly like the cityscape in the background and how you have manipulated the fonts. Great job. 9/10 Shindigs 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/112033-first-contract-first-graphic/#findComment-888461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyIceman 1,229 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Review time! Great concept and nice execution. For a first timer trying new things, awesome result! Keep it up! Two tone red and grey theme is always slick and tbh it's one of my faves. Nice text manipulation too!

Vice 408 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 First off, holy cow! What? First graphic? Just WHAT?! Very nice for your first submission! It's very funny to see how other might struggle more with some aspects, where I seem to do well. But you excel with text integration and I am just so bad. The way you did the "Signed" text with the surrounding effect, it was very well done! The name and information all mesh well together too! My only points of critique would be the lack of really any effect with the inclusion of the render. Other than that, solid start! 8.5/10!

lemonan 49 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Review: I love the overall look of this graphic. Everything together works so well and looks so smooth and slick. Additionally, I thought all of the font choices as well as the font color choices, which I am usually pretty harsh about, were absolutely perfect in this piece. I found it really hard to find a flaw in the graphic, but if I had to say something it would be how the fading worked together with everything when I looked very closely. Overall, amazing! 9/10!

I think the picture with the hockey equipment would look better if it was a bit bigger but it still looks ok. Overall it is great made snd you see the effort.9/10 Shindigs 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/112033-first-contract-first-graphic/#findComment-889010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
logansgc 6 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Review: Very clean graphic. I like the layout you chose, it's clean and really easy to read. I love the colors you chose for this, I mean obviously red because it's your team color, haha. Love the city and the guys' face in the background. I like how you blended his head into those buildings, it doesn't look choppy or ugly at all. This is probably one of my favorite graphics so far. My finale opinion, it's amazingly good! 9/10!

Darth Kaprizov 98 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Sweet work bro! the hair is nice, the contract is factual. The color scheme with the black and white Miami sky line and the red really pops. For your first graphic, this is solid work,, much much better than my first attempt. Keep on trucking big bopper!
