    They aren't bad but I think your letting PS dictate your work, the first version is better, its about a 7. To make background I used to go to filter>render>clouds and then just start doing different stuff and adding different effects. History with graphics shows that if you stick with it you will eventually get REALLY good at. I still remember how a lot of people started out, and its crazy to see some of the stuff they do now.

    It just seems like you clicked a preset border to put around the 2nd version of that sig, not sure though.

    I made the border using the marquee tool, then using the magic wand to get all the white, then filling with a pattern, then messing with the Layer Styles. It wasnt preset. And that sig is hot, N4S

    That's good, Notorious. Your Brave Heart one. I give it a 8/10 for a first time sig. Here is my first ever in PS as well. I decided I should try to get into this stuff since I know how to make kits in PS.

    Whoa thats a great pic N4S, mainly because of the background and the angle the pics taking from. I love the coloring effects you've done to it. From the nice blue to the green to the yellow, it's amazing. The only thing that prevents it from being a dime is Boozer's pose, but you can't really fix that. 9.85/10 [​IMG]

    lol, M2One got skipped.

    I like the idea, but I personally would've made the flag have a ripped effect instead of a dripping effect. Also the edges of the flags look a little jagged.

    8/10.

    How do you make a gradient inside text? In the end i had to cover it with one that made it darker then i wanted to.

    I got the idea for this iverson sig by looking at Windmills DWade Visa Card. Not the idea of the sig, the idea of dividing it up like he did.

    I think your James sig is the best by far, although the image is kinda raw and grainy. I also really like the PP one, it could use better font though. If you want to put a gradient on the font just double click the font layer and look for gradient overlay then mess around with that.

    Good job overall, keep practicing.

    8/10

    Im going to try one of those ( Text w/Pic) for the heat some time soon when i have time, i like it. However, i think his Mavs one is better.

    And 9/10 for Windmills KG sig,
    I LOVE the background, and the text is cool, whats it called?

    Rate: (These are a "set", i wanted to put them both in the same sig, but it was crowded with the crazy bkrd i made.Oh, and since its the Utah Jazz, the buildings in the background are Salt Lake City)

    The backgrounds are nice on the left hand side, but the right hand side is kind of bland, the cutting is pretty bad, and it really needs some text or pattern on the left.

    4/10 for both.

    BTW, that font you wanted to know the name of is '04b_03b'

    It wasnt the cutting, it was the renders i used. Where do you guys find good pics, other then Google and Yahoo Sports? I wasnt sure about text, i didnt know what i was gonna write, so i didnt write anything, i can still add some tho. The right hand side of the BKGD is boring because it was a lighting effect that i did to the background. So there was like a Flare right there, then i messed with it.

    Ill be trying some different styles in the next week or so, to help me "grow" and learn. So youll see ALOT of experimenting going on, just warning [​IMG]
