    I really like the last one, but the text needs work. I like all of them quite a bit, but last is my fav. Nice work.

    Sorry man, I think they need some work.

    First off, the colours are really dull. I know that you've worked off the colours of the renders, but you should have picked a more colourful palette to start with. They really grab no ones attention with that neutral colour scheme. You should try do some tutorial that have some stuff on colouring, as once you start picking up the techniques you can start using them everywhere.

    Second, the text really needs work. Don't use soft light blending for text, as it always comes out somewhat less than amazing. Try picking colours that match your sig, and using full opacity text utilizing those colours. Also, using smaller sub text, and being decorative with it around your main text can be quite effective. I posted up a text tutorial in the tutorial section a long time ago that I think you could benefit from. I'm connecting through a proxy right now so navigating the sight to find it is difficult for me at the moment, but if you search for "text for beginners" in the search engine you should find it.

    thankyou and i'll be sure to check out the tutorial, you see what confuses me, being part of several gfx boards, is some gfx members say text needs to be as inconspicious as possible then others say it needs to be as attractive as the general signature, so its difficult to know what exactly to do.

    I'll clear the confusion. What I say is correct, what other people say is not. XD XD XD XD XD XD

    Nah, just kidding. There's plenty of people out there with better text than I, however the level of conspicuity depends on the signature, however this should not be achieved by making the text hard to see/read, it should be through composition and blending.

    I think the colors are a little plain but overall good job, text needs work though. You blended the renders good imo
