are you kezkincaid???

 

I think your graphic is pretty cool tbh and one of the better 8 that I just graded. The logo change actually looks pretty decent. You have a grasp on using the TRANSFORM tool in PS< specifically the perspective/skew shift. I do however think the editing of the render got a bit out of hand. Whenever a jersey/fabric on the render turns to literally pure white, and you lose any sense of detail/texture  (which is occurring for large parts of the jersey here) you've gone too far. A hockey player should never look like a pure void of whiteness/blackness in a graphic.  Also his skin looks like he's in a nuclear radiation chamber or something.

 

I think the text actually isn't bad in terms of font/color selection, but I do think it's really undersized and looks cramped in between the player and border, and hard to read. Never be afraid to overlay text ontop of other elements in a sig/graphic. Like in this case, the player's shoulder.  (I know the white/color of the jersey can clash with your existing text, but you can combat this with text/layer effects like stroke or drop shadow, etc.)

 

you have some skills, keep pursuing graphic design and looking up tutorials on youtube!

dynamic energy! love the wild use of the color red, you've created a very eye catching graphic. 

 

just my personal taste - the blacks are too heavy, and take away from the impact of the image. i would have lifted the shadows a bit - and brightened the player's face a bit so he pops more.

 

your use of text feels a bit shy and tough to read - go bolder with it next time, like Gorlab suggested!
