lets go down the line here. First of all, if something doesn't look good to you, then you answered your own question, anyway, here we go. sig1: Never use the square cells in a manner that is that visible, if they are that visible, you need to decrease the size of each cell(square) to its lowest point so its more of a gradual texture. 2: The blending and color matching is much better, you relized that place people in their true color doesn't quite go real well with a bright green  . Your texture has improved also as you are dipping into the more complicated filters.. 3: This one just looks like a simple ode as a fan. Doesn't appear as if you spent much time nor wanted to on this one. Its simple, but most importantly, it is supposed to be. 4: Ehh, I don't care for this one at all, it looks as if you place pictures that were either bad or had no purpose for its placement. The text position is awful as well. The filter used for the overlay is dirty and unclear also. and NEVER EMBOSS OR BEVEL YOUR STOCK(picture), it looks very very bad. 5: Your stock for this one were good for your center and left picture, but the one on the right is unclear and serves no purpose. The most important thing about creating a signature is focus, find a central point in which you want the viewers focus to be on and if other pictures are used, make it apparent that they are used as secondary or backup/background (much like in your first sig). The background is ugly and too plain, i understand you ar still a beginner, but I advise you to make multiple layers and place them one over the other with different styles to create a solid background. 6&9: The main thing that comes to mind is-NEVER STRETCH YOUR STOCK UNPROPORTIONATELY, it looks like shyt and can ruin even the best sig. 7&8: By far your best, diesel's has an excellent placement of pictures and color scheme is excellent. It could use better blending and back design though, the metallic filter doesn't quite do it justice... Wooo, now I'm tired  Hope this helped |

yeah...that helps a lot...and that's exactly the kind of feedback I need...and well, I'm not asking if these look good or bad...I know that most of these need much work, so I'm asking for advice...yours was great, thank you very, very much!!!
BTW...when you say to make different layers and choose different styles for everyone...what do you mean?...you mean like the stuff that says "blending mode" (normal, darken, etc)?

i'm telling you, I AIN"T THAT GOOD!!! ON TO RATING: 1. good for your first, but i agree with BC on the square thing. 7/10 2. i like this. if you maybe did a sepia toning or maybe like a dull green with kinda dull yellow highlights, it would blend better, but overall, i like this one. much better than the first. BIG LEAP!!! ;d 9/10 3. plain and simple, which i usually like, but too f**king bright. 7/10 4. looks like this sig was rolled in the dirt then badly washed. other than that, the text is too high and the buu on the left should be flipped. 6/10 5. the left side is too plain and the big white thing sucks. the left pic should be moved left. other than that, nice work! 8/10 6. i agree with BC on this one. your stock looks like crap. hold the shift key on the corner when using Free Transform. like the bg, tho. 6/10 7. like the bg, but not the center spidey effect. nice work, tho. FIX THAT SPIDERMAN!!! until then, 7/10 (could get a 9) 8. i agree with BC. it's your best. stick the spiderman bg on it and color it right and it would get a 9.5, but for now, i think an 8/10 would do it justice 9. Trunks looks like an ugly fat woman and brolly's face looks weird. also the sig is too small for that much stock. i can't see the (most likely killer) BG. 4/10. your lowest score    Overall: you're good for a beginner. more practice and you will be as good as me and Bigbelly!!! hang tight bro and stick to this. We're *cough*me*cough* having trouble filling all these requests. GET GOOD FAST!!! lol. ;D Average Rating: 7/10 |

Well, now you've made me ask questions? What is Free Transform? Where do I find it? What does it do? how should I have applied it for that sig? Which Spiderman? How do I flip a picture? Well, those are the questions I had...about the 311 sig, I would have used the Spiderman background, but I just felt like I shouldn't repeat the same background I had already used. On the TrunksAngel sig...I didn't actually stretch it...I shrunk it...now that I look at it more carefully, I realize I should have decreased the width too... ...I'm such a genius... yeah...maybe in a few decades... |

The middle one. 3. Go to EDIT-TRANSFORM-FLIP HORIZONTAL on the bg thing. don't worry abot reusing bgs. change them a little then use them on there. if the shoe fits, wear it. |

. Your texture has improved also as you are dipping into the more complicated filters..
