REVIEW

 

It's wayyyy too big. One of the most fundamental basic skills of graphic design is re-sizing images/renders/text/etc to make your graphic a "usable" resolution. Huge images like this don't work for message board signatures.

 

The jersey change is done, but it's done very very very amateurly. First, the nighthawks logo is wayyyy too big, no hockey jersey has a logo that takes up basically the entire torso. IMO you made it so huge, so you could easily cover the existing logo.... A more advanced jersey change would involve CLONE STAMP / SOFT HEALING BRUSH tools to "erase" the existing logo, and then placing/sizing the VHL logo to about the same size as the original "source logo".  When you place a VHL logo on a jersey, you want to use the free transform tool (specifically, rotate, scale, perspective, skew, and WARP) to adjust the logo and make it fit more smoothly with the jersey.

 

Finally, your cropping/masking of the "space stock" looks very rushed and poorly done (you can see the hockey rink background of the original image, and the top of the players helmet isn't visible). The text is also very very basic/low effort. IMO you want to use a bold/clean text when you are first learning. Something like LEMON MILK or BABA NEUE or HELVETICA, instead of weird/wild "design" fonts.  Most font work involves duplicating the font layer 2-3 times, and changing the colours/"layer effects" on each of the text layers, and moving them a few pixels up/down/left/right, to create an effect.  (even a simple DROP SHADOW or STROKE can work and make text look half decent)
