I like the simplicity. Paul Pierce pic looks alittle blurry and I think you could have used a different font for "Paul Pierce" but otherwise its pretty good. 7/10
Good start if you're a beginner. Lower the opacity on the other Pierce and maybe make a better choice of font. I like the simple background but maybe add an effect or something, and like pierce a big brighter. Good job cropping on Paul.
Try a premade background, then add some effects to it..and see how it goes..just be creative, try out new things
