not a huge fan of the "renegade" text. Also, the red on "japan" is a little too vibrant. in that vein, "japan" might be too close to the farthest-left beam. im just going to assume this is a manip, in which case the rest of the sig looks nice and clean. i would just play with the text a little more.
I'm not a fan of any of the text so I'd rework all of it somehow. As for the rest, I like the effects and subtleness of the colors and whatnot so good job. And FYI, that's a pic of Hong Kong, not Japan
This I know. But I'm calling it Tokyo. Tokyo has intense buildings too... Just not a good enough picture of a skyline that I was looking for.
The text on v2 is much more subtle and fits better. It's less detracting from the whole scene. As for the focal, I feel like it is very flat, because everything is of the same sharpness and brightness. Nothing varies in contrast or quality.
