[Jupiter]

dan thanks for your input but please dont post in the apps. Only design members & the applicant may post, thanks!

not bad id say. your test could use a little work it looks nice in some sigs and some not so much. & ur focals could blend better with the background.

ty for applying & good luck

Oh my god. You're like the best person I have ever met on these forums. You're putting so much extra help into this. Thanks!

 

[VodkaForME]

I was thinking of adding a "sky" to the sig. Could you possibly tell me how to blend that correctly?

 

[Jupiter]

it depends on the sig and whats already going on in it honestly. i would stick with the basics for now since youre just starting.

 

[VodkaForME]

Thanks again for the advice

 

[VodkaForME]

This is what my finished product is.

[Jupiter]

not bad for just starting. when you start to learn your program a bit more and all the features youll be able to start messing around with different things such as adding more effects & blending but for now the basic stuff is fine.

 

[VodkaForME]

Is there anything else I should do? I noticed the [Pending] on the thread title. Is there a way I can make that [Approved]?

 

[Rave]

It stays pending for now because you are an applicant. It changes from pending to accepted when your on the team.

 

[Jupiter]

work on blending the edges of your render into the background a little better.

 

[VodkaForME]

Well, I knew that much, but I wanted to know how to get actually approved. I made 1 sig but i need to know what else to make

Hey the weekly test images are on the top of the XD app forum should be anyways

 

[Rave]

Basically what you need to do is to complete the weekly test images each week. We will then guide you on what you need to learn.

As for CnC (comments and criticism), like Sakura stated before you need to work on blending your focal into the background. Also, I would not place your focal on the edge of the sig. I would place it more to the left towards the center. Keep doing tutorials and post anything that you make in here. Keep it up!

 

[VodkaForME]

What's a focal?

 

[Rave]

Focal: Of or relating to the center or main point of interest.

Here is a link to different terminology that we use. Click Me!

 

[VodkaForME]

What do I do with the test images?

 

[Jupiter]

you make a signature out of each one

 

[VodkaForME]

So by centering the focal you mean like this?

Moving the render to the center?

 

[Rave]

This should help with placement of your focal.
