[Discussion] What do you look for in graphics?

[Alternative]

So whenever you're roaming around this place and looking at all the graphics people make and showcase here to see if the fans like it, what is it that you look for in whatever it is that the people make? Do you look for how well and executed the style of the graphic is? Is there a certain style you like to look out for? Let us know and discuss and things.

There's two things which I primarily look out for when making graphics, and rating them in general, since this is a pretty active place apart from other forums which I've been on, and that's colour and text.

Colour is a huge must for me, any graphics whether they be an avatar, an icon or larger piece of work, colour is something which I feel makes something stand out to me a lot. If the render or stock used shows quite a few colours originally, then I feel like emphasis msut be placed on those colours which are most dominant and vibrant, instead of making it very monotone. Colour should be brought out as much as it can for anything to look good in my eyes.

Another big thing for me is text used in graphics. While it isn't a must to use text, it's just added, and it really should only be added if you feel like it's missing something, or can be placed somewhere without looking bad. Text placement for me also falls in where to place the text as a whole. You don't want text away from a focal point, as you want to try and look at a focal point and expand from there. The font also matters, but not as much as placement. Also when people overlay text it never looks good unless you're really good at that sort of thing.

Share your thoughts about what you like to see.

The point of the discussion is to talk about what it is that you think looks good in graphics. It's undeniable that you're going to be looking for anything that appeals to you, but what are those specific elements that looks good to you that you like to see in graphics?

Something that is blended well and has good effects. (I'm an effects person at best)

I try to find something that is different.

Text is a more of a minor thing to me so I tend to not judge on text unless it is typography designs. Colours are also something I look out for and CnC accordingly on.

Actually if I asked the same question, but applied to music, it would be more about do you like certain tunes? Do you prefer an upbeat or slow tempo, or some sort of guitar riff and so on. The point is, that it's asking what you like to see, and what usually gathers your interest in a graphic.
