Also Taking Requests but as you can see I'm not that good :nono:
-
and way too much text :P
it's almost like you want to show off what you do etc.. look i do this this this AND THIS, i'm so good
(not meant to be a flame but as critisism)
-
I understand I dont consider you to be flaming me your are just giving your thoughts I understand so I am starting to put in less text :D
-
No offense, but none of them look any good.
You have (again no offense) horrible color choice.
And I know you didn't make that music player concept.
Keep up the work and try out some new techniques, master what you know, and hopefully we'll see some pretty amazing stuff from you!

I couldn't agree more Kicks.
Colour choice in an image, though very subtle, is one of the most important things as it sets an emotion. Like, Blue = Calm, Red = Active etc. Mixing colours is much hard as one a few mix together. To me it seems like you just got some random colours and mixed them together which is what Kicks is saying but don't let this discourage you as your only starting and you shouldn't expect your work the best anyway.
Remembering to back when I started I liked my stuff but when compared to the other artists I thought it was complete crap. I still don't think when my stuff is that great but that makes me try harder and learn more techniques.
Chase/IndyChav helped when I was starting and I respect him a lot for that. He taught me a few techniques and how to learn more too. When you've learn how Photoshop works and what it's filters and effects do you can start to examine other peoples work and figure out how they do theres. Tutorials are very helpful too and I don't mean when you do through a tutorial and copy the whole thing and then post the final product as your own and get credit from it. This is frowned upon by nearly every graphic artist I know including myself. I find them helpful in the way as they teach you new techniques and new way to use the effects and filters in Photoshop. One of the ways that I learnt the most techniques that I use today is just be messing around with Photoshop, combining layer effects etc. until I come up with something I like or have something in mind already and create that. Critisimn is also a very helpful tool as it helps you learn how to improve your work from other peoples perspective as we as individuals don't know what every body else likes.
Always remember that you will get better if you want to. You just have to put the effort in and stick it out despite what people say. Some people quite when they start because they think there not good enough but I can bet when those people started they weren't great either. I can personally say I was terrible which colour choice and my techniques were very bland and unoriginal. Working with it and learn more stuff gave me a wider knowledge and I started to gain a sense of what was good and what was bad in a few areas. I know I still have have pretty far to go and some people will think that I'm not in the right skillset to be giving out advice like this but I think that any help is better than none.
Happy to help - VoX
P.S : I like to dedicate this post to Chase/IndyChav because I remembered all the information that he helped me with when starting and I'd like to thank him a lot for it as with out him I wouldn't be were I am today! So thank him to for this advice!

It's slightly better. But you can't keep the opacity for the reflective text at 100%, you need to bring it down to maybe about 20%-ish so that yo can see that it's reflective but you can actually read what the text is meant to say, because how it is now, you can't read it very well. I had no clue what it said before I squited and looked harder.
Know what I mean?

Here i remade it
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotlinkfiles.com%2Ffiles%2F2149574_z6gk8%2Fsiggreatv2.png&hash=649afd9e2e543dfabb7d1d15f8d4192d765e2770)

Looks good, Again, The choice of colours in the words is not good at all. There is way to many colours in the gradient and the colours are very different and do not mix well. I'd recommend before creating an image first work out what colours you are going to use or use one colour and base your work off different shades of it. The top of the image. where the streaks of light in the background are, it looks like its smudged. This in my opinion looks terrible, Keep things clean and simple. The overlayed border on the rectangle in the center looks very good. The reflection on the words is alright expect the brightest part of the reflection should be where its closest to the words and it should dim/blur outwards from there.

Looks bad. I would recommend against using filters on the whole piece and only applying it to select layers if you need to use filters. Try not to use them as much as you can because they distort colours and shaped that would look better left as they are though they can sometimes work very well if use properly. Its all about gaining a sense of what looks professional and complete to what doesn't as I said before. Also, When using filters etc, the same rule above applys to this "Keep it clean and simple" because thats what looks best in my opinion.
