The only not bad entry is the third one :/

 

[Kazamori]

Third =)


=DD Fourth...thats from Happy Tree Friends animation

 

[Kazamori]

1st place is clear allrady ...



But 2nd and 3rd...

 

[..Chill.. Mizu]

The jimi hendrix one should be disqualified...hendrix was part of the 60's not the 70's common whoever did that one ....

I really dont get why you are humiliating other people's job.
It is insulting, if you dont like the sigs then make better ones and stop this nonsense.
Not everyone has the same talents/abilities, yet they try and they will improve sooner or later. You coming here and humiliating them is not helping and certainly isnt what i'd call constructive critisism.
About this now:

The jimi hendrix one should be disqualified...hendrix was part of the 60's not the 70's common whoever did that one ....

i disagree. Maybe Hendrix was part of the 60's but you cant put time-borders in music. During 70's his music was very popular, people were listening to it and therefor it is a part of the 70's.

 

[..Chill.. Mizu]

Ramones are 70's....jimi is 60's end of...he was active in the 60's thats what he is known for ...the guy never even saw the 70's unfold...which is good in a way cos he would have hated the way things went

 

[..Chill.. Klitz]

i disagree. Maybe Hendrix was part of the 60's but you cant put time-borders in music. During 70's his music was very popular, people were listening to it and therefor it is a part of the 70's.

But saying that would legitimize all music prior to the 70's, so someone could've quite easily done a sig on the Beatles, or Elvis Presley, i think it is unfair that everyone else has restricted themselves to something that was created in the 70's (bar the 4th -.-) yet that is passable for being popular in the 70's.

Also, Mizu isn't trying to be a b**tch and get 3rd disqualified for kicks and giggles, she's a die hard fan of Jimi, and feel's that it really is a breach of the subject matter...

 

[DarkRood]

And where is my signature??

 

[Chii]

the third was great....but my temptation had me vote for the fifth

 

[Hellsbadass]

dam it >.<
i knew i was forgettin something
i am so sorry about that

 

[..Chill.. Klitz]

OMG! D=

the entries are extremely horrible (no offense to makers), the only one that's not that horrible is the 3rd one IMO =/, I'll vote for it =\

You anger me, you said that you don't try to make other people's work look like your own, yet the only advice that you ever give is about light source, and blending, they are Not the the only two key features in a sig, there is so much more than that, Graphics is essentially a sub category of art, as such, graphics design is supposed to be artistic, we get to the question, "What is art?" art is method of communicating your own creativity, though the use of line, color, tone and all of the other formal elements, it is something that should represent you as a person, as such, a sig should be unique, it should be creative, it should represent the user who made it. This is a forum, not a business, if it was a business, then sure, your pastel colored tutorial copied garbage would be the right thing to do, but this is not a business, this is a contest of people showing their graphics creativity, not their graphics professionalism, and you tearing them down cause their work doesn't look like your own, is unfair, mean and un-called for.

You have no subtlety when it comes to giving constructive criticism, what you say is not constructive, it's destructive, you pretty much tell people to start from the ground up, i have yet to see you genuinely give someone a positive remark on their work, the only times you've come close, you quickly follow it by saying "That's only cause it's your first attempt, if you made stuff like this with more experience i'd rate it 0.2/10". How do you think that feels? to have someone pretty much tell you your s**t at graphics? It's not nice.

If your going to give CC, you need to be positive as well as negative, the idea of it being Constructive, is that you are helping them build on the skills they have, you point out the good parts, then tell them the parts they need to improve, you never do that -.-

Edit: @Hells: i sorry if this is in some way ruining your competition, i just really needed to get that off my chest, it's a good contest, i voted for the 5th on, Ramones are BA

 

[Hellsbadass]

ok people, lets get back to the topic =/

Edit: This comment makes sense, but I disagree with most things, this is one of rarest comments I ever seen, It doesn't contain flame!!!!! XD I give you credit for not flaming! thank you =P

Even if thats true,everybody has the right to tell their opinion no mater what. My works have been insulted a lot but if you dont get criticized youll never get better.
Its true, not everybody is perfect in doing graphics and signatures and Khaled is most of the time harsh,but he just said his opinion and I think the same way as him.

Yes,its true that the art is just a way to show your feelings and to try to feel special,but if you really lack at something,you cant just go and try to compete. First should go and learn how to do it and then go compete.
:/
Thats my opinion and no mater what you gonna answer Im not gonna be mad at you or something.

Oh and here are my comments:
1st signature: The color are kind bad and its blurry,its just a car in the middle and a layer with some color brushes and an effect,im not sure about the name, should try to variegate the style.
The text is kinda bad not on place because the render get hidden and that make it even worse:/
Oh and yeah I forgot,the blending and the light source are missing but I actually am not a big fan of these stuff so I dont care.

2nd Signature:
Its obvious that the person who has made it give it no more than 30 minutes or maybe much less,he/she has rendered the cartoon characters or found the picture of the picture and added the text,which is not that bad but maybe the color could be better.
He/she should see some tutorials,which are always on help.

3rd signature:
I actually really like that one and I dont really have comments about it

4th Signature:
Colors not bad,just a bit too monotonous,all the rendering is really bad because I can easily see pixels ,that shows that the person who made it did his best.maybe could add a border and use the burn or dodge tool a little on the text so make it look better.
5th signature:
The background doesn't fit the renders and the text,bad location of the renders,some of them are hard to see :/
I dot think the colors suit of a rock group and the renders themselves are in dark colors and maybe you should have erased the colored part of their faces,which would make them be notable.

I do not want to insult anybody with this comment,if you feel offended,feel free to give bad rep or report me!​

 

[DarkRood]

dam it >.<
i knew i was forgettin something
i am so sorry about that

Well, nothing happened even if you saw what I said :O

 

[KingSingh]

First: The colours don't work together, the text is pixelated.

Second: Too much has been crammed into the sig, so the renders are all blurry. The idea's nice though. =)

Third: The render is good quality, the effects and the background are good, and the sig is well blended together.

Fourth: The text is illegible, the background is plain, looks like it was off Google Images, and it doesn't look like much effort has gone into it all. =/

Fifth: The splatter brushing looks messy, the renders look like they're part of the background; there's no depth in the sig, and the text draws all attention away from the rest of the sig.

I voted for the third one. To be honest, it's the only decent sig there (no offense to the other designers).

 

[DarkRood]

Seriously, where the hell is my damn signature, okey I don't care just ignore me...
