A constructive critique:

• Keep pictures of the band member in proportion, even if it means you have to crop them; they don't look any good when they're squashed.
  
• The wallpapers are no good as wallpapers; They're too small... make them in sizes that will fit in common desktop sizes (1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200 etc)
  
• On that note, that last picture isn't much good for anything that I can think of... it's too big for a sig and too small (plus a bad choice of format) for a wallpaper. You need to take a bit more care in sizing things.
  
• I'd drop adding lyrics/taglines in pics and limit it to just band name/heartagram logo... picking lyrics out looks cheesy.
  
• Try something different! We can see you've got the hang of blending different pics together by now

That said I think you're giving it a good try, keep it up and see what else you can do.

Kinda harsh are we not ? Geez the only one that looked squashed was the last Ville sig with red colouring as for my wallpapers I always make them 1024x768 it's not my fault that this place keeps resizing them , so don't tell me that I need to take care of sizing things . The last one with Linde ; well I didn't make it for a sig or wallpaper it was made for a friend who has a MySpace artist page and she puts up edited pics for everyone to enjoy . And by the way I wont be posting anymore here I said this was my last one .

Absolutely That was the point though, it's criticism for the sake of trying to help you out. If no one ever points out an artists' mistakes, they'll never feel an impetus to improve. Don't take it personally, I was just trying to give some pointers.

I understand , I'm not angry with you . It's just that I try so hard in making these things and most of them are my first because I never had anything to work with before so I dont have many years to my belt yet . I'm a newbie at this .

I know cause after I got off here , I thought about what he said and looked at my sig and didn't like it because of the words ; too many . :wink2: so I went back to make a different one without all the words . I do appreciate all the compliments .. So Once again thank you all you got my pm about the lightning right ?
