Carol 104 Posted July 27, 2013 Thx. Text is a pain in the ***. I'll need to concentrate on some font packs and tuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clob 94 Posted July 27, 2013 Excellent work very jealous of your colour coordination, the blending and depth are good Newbie my as* I am nowhere near as good as you after 4 years lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clipse 0 Posted July 27, 2013 The color coordination is great, the "dance" text is a bit off imho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carol 104 Posted July 27, 2013 Thank you. Typography is a problem. It makes or kills an image in my opinion. So really really need to work on that. I just dont know where to start, it's like text has no basic rules. All the rest is defned: Create depth, flow, light, ... it is all well documented and gives one a solid base to create something nice. But text? which font? which size? ... I guess I just have to browse through a lot of examples and see what works and what doesn't. Concerning colours: Thats the easy part, I use some tools like - painterwheel extension for PS: http://lenwhite.com/ - Colour pickers: http://webdesignledger.com/tools/10-super-useful-tools-for-choosing-the-right-color-palette And Clob, you're too modest, you are good.

Mikey 1,238 1 Item Posted July 27, 2013 Great outcome Carol. Love what you did with the hat. I think we have a Photoshop shark on our hands. Very nice work for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards
Carol 104 Posted July 27, 2013 Haha, the hat is just a mercury spatter render, which I coloured and smudged to blend it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maniak_uk 5,063 Posted July 27, 2013 Very nice work ,good colours,effects and concept ,text needs a tad more work to fit the rest. Try this font with - Dance http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=calendar+note and this with your name - http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=ADVENTURE+SUBTITLES Have the dance the larger out the 2 texts Also check out Deviant art for some sub text brushes which are great for adding that little extra detail example - http://www.deviantart.com/art/Tiny-Text-Brushes-2-22701226 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards

Kim 434 Posted July 27, 2013 Sweet Color combination, great effects. Maybe add some shadow under the right feet. Kiu! (= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carol 104 Posted July 27, 2013 Worked out just fine, I think. 2nd version up. Made a tiny text brush myself based on the link you posted Thanx for tips and comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maniak_uk 5,063 Posted July 27, 2013 Looks alot better ,would just move the name over to the right opposite like explodings is done otherwise good job suits the whole piece alot better kiu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards
Carol 104 Posted July 27, 2013 Hey Kim, I tried that shadow thingy, even copied and twisted the render to create a shadow. Failed big time I think I need to draw an oval and darken it or something to get the right effect. If allowed (have to check rules) I'd like to share this psd somewhere in case someone is interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maniak_uk 5,063 Posted July 27, 2013 Yes course you can we have a psd section where you can make template etc or use a pp template (can be found in FAQ setion) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards
