This is a step by step way of giving good CnC to fellow members.
This is a step by step way of giving good CnC to fellow members.
STEP 1:
- Start off by saying if you like it or not and why. Just saying "This is the bomb" isn't helping, it is giving false hope as that is just your opinion and the creator of the piece might get his hopes raised then be shot down and may have a bad attitude towards GFX.
Example:

I really (dis)like this signature, it's because "STATE WHY YOU LIKE IT"
STEP 2: (Use this if you can, not all posters will know about GFX)
- Now tell the person who made the GFX, what they can improve on their signature, or tell them what's wrong with some of the effects or the background used. Also tell them HOW they can make it better.
Example:

but there are a few things I don't like about the signature, the background is a little overlighted, maybe just add some more dark colours in parts also the text doesn't compliment the signature very well, try using a clipping mask + some lighter colors under it.
STEP 3:
- Finish off by saying something positive and also if you feel up to it rate it and tell them what you think of their work
Example:

Overall really good job on this particular signature! If I were to give a mark out of 10 my rating would be... 7.5/10. I looking forward to seeing more of your work.
PLEASE NEVER EVER GIVE COMMENTS SAYING "This is the best piece ever!" or "This is the best piece of graphics on NGU" as this makes other designers feel like crap.
