Shou, would you try to use a text color that actually shows up on this dark grey background. Also, your font is way too small.

When being critical of another's work, try to use a word other than sucky. It really does not say anything and it is also quite rude.

As for Julius work, I really like your use of color. It is different. You seem to try stuff that is not the norm. But I would try to use a little more simplicity. Try something with less detail. Also, the background needs to be toned down a bit so the main subject stands out more.

And thanks everyone for the replies.

Ok, let's see how I did with this one.


I like the new sig. It definitly is better lighter but the avvy just seems to be too bright. Idk try toning it down just a bit i suppose. I thought it was ok before that cause there isnt anything wrong with dark. I didnt realize it before but in the sig before it was really dark so when you lightened it up it looks much better. Great stuff. Keep it coming.

Ok, so I must make the avatar a little more darker. Now that I think about it, I'll remove one of the images

Ok, more simple, less detail. Hmmm....maybe more lighter colors

By the way, I really like these two. Particularly the banner. Notice how the main subject stands out, verses the banner in your sig.

Again, I will say you've done it in Aerith's thread and now you're doing it in Julius's thread. You're giving no proper advice here. You're just flat out insulting. In fact, I'm going to quote the rules here, since I doubt you'll click on the link and read them.

Quote:
Good Criticism Guidelines

Noticing on how criticism is being done here, I've decided to add some tips on how to make some good criticism. Here's an idea on how to do it:
  • First of all, look for what is bad, or what you didn't like. Then, put them in the post, but just don't say somewhat "sucks". Say what is wrong, like the colours in a bg, how bright things are, etc, and if possible, how to correct those problems.
  • A good criticism usually comments on all the main parts of a sig: backgroud, typography (the text), stock (pictures used in the sig), borders and any other additional things (animations, cutting, etc).
  • For criticism values, rating a sig is no good. Criticism is made to help people to get better, so putting a rating won't help at all. Putting just a rating is spam.
  • To finish, comment on what you really liked, so the person know what it's right.
See? It's not that hard to make a good criticism. Remember that just ratings and comments is spam, so refrain from putting just "I like your sig!", or "It sucks".


Read that and let it sink in. There is no excuse for the crap you're posting.

Much better, now you can see the stock and the background, the text need work, but that's just a matter of time .

ALOT better. Very nice. The only gripe I have is also the text. The text is nice, but the color makes it a bit hard to read.

Very very well done Julius.
If you ever want some font's to experiment with, say so.
