Is that really your first? That's awesome for a first Here are some of my thoughts!1) You used too many gradients, and they are in every aspect of the print. Gradients are good, but they need to be used right and positioned right among other gloss and depth affects. 2) The size. Everything should be sized smaller. Try taking a PSD from our graphic database, and try making your dimensions somewhat similar to other people's prints. 3) Just keep experimenting. Designing just doesn't come to you, you need to go to it! Practice makes perfect, and this is an excellent way to start. Good job.

Thanks ![]() I made this in gimp so idk if a PSD file would help me resize it but lucky i do have the .xcf file so maybe I can work from their to make it smaller. as for the gradients i figured i wound get that response so I may add in some brush effects but not to much cuz it would kill the theme in my opion. |

GIMP can open .psd files. Great work for a first. Much better than what I could come up with.

Wow. Great first! The shapes remind me of Shifty .I agree with Nick on the size. Everything is quite big atm. The gradients you have are great. Now time to work on making things pop. Etch lines and other little things like that can make all the difference. Keep it up :] . |
