    You should also get rid of the 'Striker in midfield attire' too. But overall, a splendid first two efforts. Well done.

    With the Drogba Sig, move the Chelski badge below the Drogba render and lower its opacity just a little more.

    With the Lampard sig, don't do a pop put sig because they aren't really the best way to do a sig. Slap a border around the lampard sig, with the text, try adding a drop shadow and maybe emboss it to make it stand out.

    Good attempts, keep doing your works and you will see yourself improving [​IMG]

    Search Deviant Art for Photoshop brushes and LIGHT textures. When using the light texture put them on "Lighten" and you'll get a cool effect. Download some abstract brushes and stuff, then brush them over your background, set that layer on soft light or whatever looks best and you will get nice effects.

    Also remember, Gradiants and Gradiant Maps ARE YOUR FRIEND!

    Okay.

    Render- Try not to desaturate it to make it look grey.

    Border- Add a black or white border

    Background- Solid good background, you should add in a few brushes on soft light to make a good effect.

    Text - Good

    Your getting better, just keep doing more work and you will see yourself improving and becomming more confident in trying new stuff.
