New sig

I'm just starting to get into PS, I have been comming here for some tips and finally decided to register.lol Here is a sig that I made for my UnrealTournament clan ESF. Tell me what u think, I need some constructive comments. I also want it to look like it was painted on the wall so any help will be appreciated

Well, the drop shadow kills the idea of it being painted on the wall. Try using a layer effect, like overlay to have it look like its painted on, or simply drop the opacity of the type. I would also try giving the brick wall a lighting effect. Its too much like a photo, no life too it. I'd try using the 2'0clock shadow preset and play with the colors and settings it has. Otherwise, it has lots of potential.. Oh, one more thing, the pink will get lost on the red bricks.

yep same as spectra ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Keep it comming guys I apprecite it, I'm already trying to redo it

okey some points...
The brickwall seems like it would have been draged out to much or just really crap quality...
as Spectra said...there can't be drop shadow on a grafiti wall...
And the colors...
I would change them...
Those colors that are there now looks like my skioutfit when I was 7 years old...

AND I'm not trying to be rude or anything...
Just told you what I think...
And it's good if you just started using photshop...
So keep sending in

ok I found out how to make a brick wall and this is what I came up with. Its better than the first but im sure u guys will help me out here it is

well yes it's better...
somethings...
Well the color on the wall seems to "go to much"...if you know what I mean...
And it's really hard to read what there is soposed to be written...
Am I even close : esf blackvss & elete setbke pabee?
Is that somekind of slang : ) LOL

lol ESF BlackAss, Elite Strike Force. Its for my unrealTournament clan. The guys on my fourm will know what it says lol. I didnt make the letter, its a font I found called one8seven. Use that fro the grafitti look. I'm still messing with the colors and one of my friends showed me how to put the brick texture into the lettering so it looks like its really on the wall. I'm still gonna mess with the wall so it looks more real. Ill mess with it some more later tonite and post what I come up with,Thanks for all the help guys and gals

Oh
Well the black ass was pretty close tho...
Well about that getting it to look more as if it would be on the wall...
You have them on different layers right?
Just rasterize the text if you haven't done it and then play around with the layer options and the opacity...
That should do the trick

change back to the original background bricks, they were much better.
