It is interesting and reminds me somewhat of my first few images. It is a great start, and I hope you keep up with it so you will get better with time. I like the ideas of thje balls and squares, it adds a little diversity to the whole image. Also, the way the text changes color in the middle is interesting and keeps it from looking like another bland and generic image. It is good, yes, but still nothing to write home about. Keep up the work, and slowly, you will begin to improve.

Good One ..

The effect on the text is great, and the border around it is good as well.

But here are some tips which, in my opinion, makes this one better :-

- Some effects in the background will be a good improvement.

- A character, model, picture, or just a high detailed background object is also a common feature for signatures.

- A 1px Black border around the whole sig is in my opinion vital for most signatures.

I agree with M0ose that the idea of the balls and squares is great, you are doing well here.

i find it really garish.

it is so red/orange

the squares and circles are asymetrical, and the colours are weird.

the effect on the letters seem pointless.

sorry, i just don't like it

Great steps forward (that's what I see)

A good choice of model in my opinion .. But actually, this not only needs resizing but also it needs to be more like one image ..

I think it is also a good choice of colors .. these ones are really cool.

In my opinion the image in the background (that one which have the model) needs to be in the back of the text directly, instead of the solid beige color.

Just try doing this .. If you do not mind I would like to know the program you are using to do this.

You are doing very well improving this. I hope you discovered some new techniques as well.

Oh well, it needs a lot of improvement. Try not to bother with text effects. Get a piece of paper and draw a concept of the signature. Start with simple stuff. Even if it's not sophisticated try making it look interesting. What you made out there is just a piece of text in a colored box surrounded by four weird spheres.

Don't get upset. I'm just trying to be constructive and help you go farther with your skills. And by the way, you are allowed to put everything you'd like in your signature unless it is against the rules. Good luck!

This is about the "updated version" of the picture. I guess I am going to be one of the first ones to be harsh because everybody seems to be not trying to hurt your feelings or something.

There is no figure and ground relationship. It's just one stretched and pixalized image on top of another (due to gif compression). The squares around the blue radial sphere images are inconsistant in size, placement and look. It really makes no sense. What are these things even supposed to be or relate to? And what is the red pixels all over them? Atleast your first version wasn't stretched unproportionate length-wise. The spheres themself are also inconsistant in the same ways the boxes are around them. The text box has a weird inconsitant border. The text itself is even stranger. What kind of color scheme are you trying to use here? What are you trying to convey with the coloration of the letters? There's no thought.

Inconsistency can be good; but only when form follow function and when it looks intentional... this just looks amateurish, so it's not coming off like that. I don't know what program you are using, but most likely some outdated and free photo editing software that probably came pre-installed on your computer. That doesn't mean it has to look like crap though. Just thing about what you are doing. Choose a color scheme that matches your background atleast. I'm not an mean person, I am just trying to help you make a good image.
