Sig Help

I always find about half way through a sig i dont know what to do, im still a ------ at photoshop but could you guys give me some tips of how to finish sigs off. pretty much all i do is blur the backround, sharpen certain spots.

Ill give you an example to me this sig is only about half done but im stuck and dont know what to do next. can some one tell me what they think i should do with this to finish it off or just some tips in general to finish sigs off.



Thanks, Beavo

 

oh yes and i add boarders but usually only black ones that are 1pixel

 

i have this problem sometimes, although most of the time its just best to go with whatever style you like and what you think will look best.

 

lol well iw atched a video tuorial once and they did a bunch of things like photo filters, cuvres brightness/contrast
should i be doing these?

 

those would probably help your outcome and not make it seem so monochromatic. you should try brushing with different colors too and change the blend modes.

just experiment</span>

 

Use gradient maps as well, they REALLY help with the depth of your images. Your background looks a bit too straight D:. I dunno, it just doesn't fit IMO.

 

blur then sharpen, colour balance, brightness and contrast, gradient maps

 

Yeah, all adjustment layers help finish a tag, but you should make sure you like your actual graphical work before you add those.

 

no they give better colouring and depth.

Try adding some more effects and work with stocks instead of renders, it's easier to get better effcets then
