Godfadda's app :P~~ <---drooling [IN PROGRESS]

First name:Mitchel
Gamertag: GodfatherScar
Why you want to join: i like to make signatures for people when i can
Designing experience:about a year and a half i suppose
How did you first get into designing: random interest after seeing masterleaf's work
Program you use: photoshop cs4 master collection (with all adobe programs)
Five of your favorite tags by you:





i do have another tag that i would've put up here but i am unsure of your policy on more controversial tags

Do you agree to follow the rules: yes

If you're talking about the California Weed tag, I don't care. The only word that's censored on this site is the derogatory version of the "n" word. That should say something, lol.

As for the application, I'll say that you're good, but there are areas that you need to work on.


Flow
From the tags you've posted here, the only one that's on the right path towards good flow is the KoG Weaksauce one.

Depth
As above, there is only one tag on here that is in the right direction for depth—Max's.

Text
Your text is following that old SYN style, I can see it clearly. You gotta shake that, because I'm gonna teach you the real art of tag-making—the real complexities of it. One of the parts of that is learning how to actually do text lol. It's gotta blend in, and shouldn't distract from the focal, which yours does. SYN text usually tends to be too large and is very obtrusive ... not good for the art of it.

Focals
I see your C4D's and some of your background really obstructing your focal, so we'll work on that too.


So I'll accept your application, but you won't be a full member of the Design Team until you go through the schooling session which happens every month or so whenever there's new members. So if no one else applies soon, then I'll go ahead and start with you.

Good luck!

ok, sounds good, but just a couple of things.....

1. i do believe that the optimus prime tag does have flow, in a v pattern. and so does max's, to the upper left.

and not to be rude, but i don't see much flow in your signature tag either, i see an orange and a red beam on one side, and little light rays on the other.
2. i don't see much wrong with the text. too much blending and there can be complications with reading it, thus the text standing out.
3. i'm not sure what you mean about the c4d's, the focals are fairly clear on my screen, maybe it's a difference in monitors? is your's lcd or a crt monitor? the difference is colors. crt monitors don't have as many color blends and so a great pic on my screen could look like shit on yours. it just depends, the only tag that might be obstructed is the gordon freeman sig, but even that is not too bad

Flow doesn't go in a "V" pattern unless the focal/render does as well. You'll see what I mean when you go through the schooling stuff.

When you have a render like I had there, the flow can be in a few different ways, I chose to have it come from behind.

Text is not supposed to stand out, it's supposed to blend. Like I said, the art of tag-making usually excludes text, but for signatures, we usually have to put text. When you have to, you make it blend in. You want people to like the artwork in the sig and not focus so much on text because good text that blends in with the focal is what makes a good piece of art. Text that stands out a lot—near the focal or not—is distracting.

What I'm trying to say is that the focal are messy. I've looked at your tag on both a CRT and an LCD monitor and I see the same thing. We'll just work on cleaning up your focals and good placement with C4D's and such.

Okay Godfather. Ready for your homework?

Make me a tag with good flow and a tag with a happy, bubbly theme.

For the flow, this means find a render or a stock that definitely has a direction. Once you find one of these, make a tag with it. For the bubbly theme, I don't literally mean "bubbles," I mean light-hearted and happy. try and make them both as good as you can.

Good luck!

sorry for some reason whenever i logged on it wouldn't take, but now i think i got it.....while i was not able to log in, i was able to edit this wallpaper for a game that is pretty cool.......

Make it smaller so I can see the whole thing, please.
