.Rinoa's Graphics [v2]

[Lebreau]

Welcome to .Rinoa Graphics, version 2! Version 1 was getting a bit old and stale, so I've decided to freshen up my thread... by harshly archiving the old one and creating this one!

the "artist" : Jess
the program : Photoshop CS4 Extended
the loves : icons, gradient maps
the hates : text, large pieces

all graphics from earliest to latest

Flyleaf ftw .
I really like this sig, especially since you picked Lacey to be in it - and we all know she's a very expressive singer. The color scheme and the background really set the mood for the whole design. The font helped along with that too - and I found it to be clever how you inverted the effects of one side of the phrases so that it could also be easier to read. I really don't have anything against this sig. It's simple and angelic at the same time, and very well done .

I like the colours here, and the circle effects are pretty. But, I think this would have worked better as a bigger piece, it seems a bit cluttered and the border doesn't really go. Oddly for you, the text seems a bit out of place too.

This is gorgeous, I love it. My only critique would be the text. I had to re-read it for a moment, cause I thought it read "beat he" It's a really pretty font, but the spacing is a little off.

This is really pretty. I love the colours, the text, the positioning of the render, it's all gorgeous. Although, some effects seem to have gone over the render, as she looks blurry/cloudy in places. A simple border would finish this off nicely, imo. But it's a very lovely piece.

This piece is gorgeous. I can't fault anything at all. I love the blending, and the effects are really pretty; especially loving the flowers. The text is superb too. Perhaps a small border would enhance it, but it's pretty much fantastic anyway.

I really love this piece, the effects are nice, the text is gorgeous, it has a border! My only critique would be that it's a bit too... orange? It's really noticeable on the girl.

I think the white effects overpower this piece, I like the background above them, and the text is gorgeous as well. I'd love to see this signature without all the white, as I think it has the potential to be totally gorgeous.

I'm not a huge fan of this one. It's all a bit too blurry and messy. The text is nice, but it looks out of place with the rest of the tag. The coloured bits near the rippled(?) sections look nice though.

This one is really pretty. The flowery effects go so well with Aerith, and the text is absolutely gorgeous. The pink is really pretty too. My only critique is that Aerith herself looks very washed out, perhaps lower the opacity on a gradiant map that's making her so pink?

This is really pretty, I love the colours and the lighting is nice too. I like how you've gone for a different sized tag, too. The text is gorgeous as well.

With this tag, I'm rather curious what it would look like if you took Marina away from it; I'm guessing it would still look really pretty. I love the flowers, and the colours, and the text is brilliant... but Marina looks like she's been slapped on top of another signature.

I think it needs a border, just to complete it, Jess. I like the brown, although maybe a black/white gradient map set to lighten/screen or a sepia/underwater photo filter might help out. I'm loving the text though.

You should know by now just how much I love your avatars. These are all fabulous. I can't critique them at all; well done.

This is really pretty. Particularly love the effects and blending. However, it all seems a little... dull? Like a gradiant map has been applied to darken the colours and hasn't quite worked. I think if you made the colours vibrant, it would be fabulous.

LOVE this. The text is gorgeous, and I love the entire composition here. It's really nice. The left side in particular is stunning.

This is gorgeous, I love all the different texts used, and the white / purply-pink go really well together. I think this is a really clever and well made piece.

I really love your avatars! They're so vibrant and creative!

My favourite would have to be the first one.

Such pretty colours and I love what you did with the text! Putting down upside down was very creative!

Keep up the great work!
