Other than vector tags, which are decent, I really cannot make a good tag. You may remember that I used to. each tag before the gaara vector one in my sig is one I made just this week: http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/NsiderCoke/reqs/ and I don't know why I'm so bad now, maybe you can help.
Really I wouldn't worry too much about it. How many people on GR can actually do vectors? We all have our strengths and weaknesses. While you may have more experience with the vector style, others may be more experienced in tags, whether it's from their personal preference or just lack of skill to try the other. I think the key to any aspect to designing is having something that inspires you to give you the drive to create something. Kind of like finding your power animal, except look for what could drive you to make something. In my case, recently Lady Gaga's songs have been giving me inspiration. For you it may be chapter 432 heh. I just suggest you just try learning from some nice PSDs if you want to get better at your tags. Yet really it comes down to experience, so practice makes perfect. ^_^
all it takes is practice and like anything pink said find some thing that gives you inspiration i generally use other peoples work and eventually i come out with something totaly different to what i started with if you like any psd's in the auction room pm me and ill get you them ive got this spare 2441 credits that im not using
It's only some part practice... Look at me, I've been at sig making for 4 years and im still moderate on NSL :/ I know almost every function for image editing on Photoshop, so you can't tell someone like me to keep practicing. If you really want to get better, you need inspiration, or ideas. Follow some PSDs and you'll get ideas Btw its hard to find good tags on GR, most of the ---- people make here is n.ovice..
Just go on PR and download some PSDs, since they have some of the best. Honestly GR has a few here and there but you can get plenty of free ones on PR that are a lot better.
