Hey hey hey, so I am still working with c4d, I'm no expert with photoshop, but I'm still learning, I guess ;D, anywayz, this took me about 45 minutes, to make.

Rate and comment pl0x
Oh and also, i'm looking for a c4d package to use as explosions affects, and flare affects, but I don't have any, could anyone give me a link to download, or be kind enough to upload it for me? Thank you for your time. :]

For a beginner, this is very good. You have a nice sharpen, blur going on, and your blending is pretty well done too. The colors don't clash that much either, which is good. What I'd give advice on is that your flow has it going to the left, but the left c4d is going up, which doesn't work well. Also, you don't have a lighting source. You need to find one, and put one in. IIn some cases, you don't, but for this one you might want one a bit to the top right-ish.

And for the main points, not all signatures need cinematic borders. Also, as a beginner, stay away from text unless you know how to use it. All in all, you did pretty well as a beginner.

KIU

I don't feel like giving CnC atm..
I'll link you to a C4D/Fractal pack, though!

The problem is, is that you put it over your cinematic border.

I don't really know.... /

I checked every render, and didn't finder, I think that is the background?
Anyway, i'll be making a new one tomorrow, and i'll need your(People) opinions on it. Any ideas of what I should work on? I'm having a really hard time with the background tho, if anyone could post a render below of what I should try i'll see if I can do it ;D
KTHNX.
Dragon, thanks for the feedback man, you're one

dude

EDIT:

Here is the feedback of another forum user (Leader actually > . >')

Code:

Okay, here's a quick breakdown.

-Too much clutter (A lot of shit going on in the background)
-Seems  bit low quality of a render
-You went for a center focus but the focus is drawn off to the left and right due to the mess of background, and overly large/complex font/poor placement/usage.
-Drop shadow is overrated when you use it on everything. It's nice when it's used correctly, and horrid when it isn't.
-Using a border isn't always great. In this case it slices the top of the Spartan's (Master Chief I would assume) head off.
-Try following a color scheme. Pick one-five colors and try to stick around that area. Your current sig has like eight different colors splashed around. It's distracting and ugly.

All in all, if you want a rating out of 5..

I don't think I'd even be able to grade this. Maybe a 1/5 for effort? :X

I will say this right now just to get it out of the way.
ALWAYS SAVE IN .PNG FORMAT.
png > jpg by over 9000.
I mean, it's a good signature (because you're new), but you just fucked the quality by saving it as .jpg.
(Sorry if it sounded mean, but I really emphasize to save it in png).
Now, let's get to the REAL CnC.

-It doesn't blend
-The render looks blurry (probably because A. forgot to hold shift when resizing the render and/or B. it's a jpg)
-It doesn't flow where you want it to flow
-Drop shadow is overused
-Not every signature needs a cinematic border
-The text isn't used how it was meant to be used. Something like:
HALO (halo font, but small and with a lower opacity)
------
AfroNinja (some standard font, nothing fancy, and about 90% opacity)

Though there's many things wrong with it, it's still a 5/10, since it's your first time using C4Ds.

Also, if you want C4Ds, I posted some in the resources section (about 500+). Go ahead and check them out.

And yes, I copied that list you posted, then just changed it.
