Hmm, your sig is ok. My entry is nothing to jump up and down about it literally took 5 minutes but for your one I think it's too red, not necessarily monotone, just needs more variation in colours. Flow is ok but is messed up by the tree in the background if you understand what I mean. The text could use some work such as positioning and blending effect. Overall i'd give it a solid 6/10.


Spirit of christmas! Red and green! Christmas Trees!

In the short time Groms has been a member here at ngu, his artwork, photoshops and signatures have blown everyone else's away. He is the sure winner this week and should be for weeks to come. If he doesn't win, it will be a huge misjudgment.

All criticism is there to merely better ones graphic abilities. If one does not constructively criticize ones work, one does not feel the need to better their skills. I know i'm not amazing, nor do I believe I am a graphics God, however I know some stuff when it comes to the subject, hence the reason I am in +cK. I do not understand the "Good job you can follow tutorials." part. Everyone at some stage or another follows tutorials... everyone. GFX'ers look to tutorials to learn new tricks and techniques to use in future sigs. I don't follow tutorials much anymore, but sometimes when I hit a little speed bump where I don't "feel" it, I tend to look at a tutorial or two until I get back in the groove. Other GFX'ers will understand what I mean. Now sir, do you understand? Happy holidays Smile


Well responded. Smile. I've been a GFX'er for over 4 years, I just don't display my work because I don't feel the need to. I haven't done much in a year though, so I might get back into it. Maybe I'll hit you up we'll do a collab or something.

Why is there so much hate in this thread? Come on, we're all designers and we all have our own opinions. Wounded, I dont like some of your work, but I respect you as a designer. It's just not my style, but it's yours. We all have our own styles.

How about we have less of a flame-war, and more appreciation? After all, not everyone thinks alike.

Yeah, but lets take videobot for example. He is without doubt a graphics guru and has given me some of the best constructive criticism over the time I have been here. He produces very HQ fantastic work time after time. However, I don't understand why everyone is drooling over your work. Don't get me wrong i'm not hating or anything it's just that... It's a little.. i don't know, it's hard to explain.


Some people like my work. Some people like your work. Like I said, everyone has different tastes.

I'm not hating bro but I think a lot more could be done here.
I'm only pointing this out because it seems that everyone you made sigs for can't seem to hop off your dick and think you're a guru.
And if you're lied to you will never make the necessary adjustments to be that much better.
I'm no pro but I've been around LOL


I like simplicity. That signature has simplicity. You dont like it, that's fine. I've been working with Photoshop for over 9 years now, making sigs once in a while for the past 4 or 5. I hate sigs that are full of C4D's. They look overdone and too cluttered.

P.S. Any reason every +cK around gets into this thread to claw my ass right after I make my first signature submission? God people, take it easy it's just a contest.

yeah, you like simplicity, but there are better sigs in this competition atm, but by the look of it, every non-gfx user on this site is riding your cock.


That's your opinion. People like sigs that look good. Maybe non-gfx users like it because it looks good to them, and gfx users hate it because I didn't use 500,000 layers with 58 gradient masks and 452 c4d's chopped down to the bare pixel.

I think the 29 layers I used were more then enough to make it look good.
