I was never good at making good banners or avatars until I desided to look at some of the banners that other people had made me to see if I could learn something from them. I did learn something from looking at the other banners. I am trying to move from simple images being made in paint (Click here for an example) to something that will look a lot better. I use a program called PhotoFilter that is not even close to Photoshop but it works for me since it is free and I got no money. I have been trying to learn this program now for awhile and I think I am starting to get the hang of it now... I started to use this program to make images such as this and this where all I had to simply do has to just put my name on there... Doesn't seem like a good graphic designer now does it? But I am slowly moving on to my newest and I would consider my best work of art that not only came from images off of the internet but also things that I had to hand make in order for everything to work out. Here they are:
[center]My Signature
My Avatar[/center]Please rate these two images to see if I did a good job on my starting images... I am going to try and "perfect" the signature image but it will be a little hard I think.
Thanks for the rating,

Very nice. You seem to be getting the hang of that program. Sure its not as good as photoshop, but then again, a composition is only as good as it's master.
06/10 for top and 5.5/10 for bottom (note 08/10 is perfect on my scale, so you did pretty good for a starting piece). The avatar got a higher rating only because it was more symbolic. Meaning it really fit shadow's character; having darkness all around with his hate (in red) emenating from his body. The signature is good, but it really needs positioning. The textures are pretty good and I can tell you tried pretty had on it.
Just remember that simplicity is always the key to victory.
Also remember that there's a thread up there posted just for this purpose and this purpose alone (rating signatures).

Now if the art and image mods were active at least a little bit, they would be able to close this post as fast as possible. Strange that im more active then the mods

That made them think 
.
I would say the avatar is better. Nothing about symbolism, but it simply fills up more of the space. Plus you used same image, so after seeing the image in avatar looking at it in the signature is 'annoying'.

The avatar and the image in the sig are not exactly the same. Yes they are the same thing but I added more to the sig image than what I did to the avatar image. I am going to try to add more into the sig and make it better.
Should I close this down? Next time I will just put the next edition of this in the other topic.
