Hey there, my first post on this forum. And it's bizarre... :cheesygrin: Was following a tutorial and after finishing it I decided to play with it and add texture and text... Please critique and suggest what you would add. I'm having trouble with typography mostly in my opinion!

Very cool. When you get enough posts to give us a link, do that OK? I wouldn't add anything. It's well balanced and anymore would just be gilding the lily.As for the text, maybe it is just too large. Competes with the image.
Since you asked :mrgreen:

Haha.. good point actually. It should be smaller!

And I will link to my new works on DeviantArt account if that's allowed. I need one more post so I will be able to post links..
 
It looks great, though I think I would have kept the text colour a bit more of a solid colour, and maybe a bit brighter. Excellent work!

"EDIT"

After playing around with it in Photoshop, I take back what I said about the text, it just needs more contrast. I hope you don't mind me showing you what I mean!

Nice, What is the topic of the tutorial about ?, I don't really understand what you want to tell in this graphic art (tell me please, curious :) )

IMO (if I may) the effects are great and looks like using complex technique, very nice, although the middle lights are too much, and about the text, yes it is bugging me because it's too big, I would be comfortable to resize it to around 35 or 50% ish to be putted on the left (or right) bottom of the picture and not touching the triangles / main object.
 
Just to let you know, this is the graphic design showroom, where people can show their work off, get critique and praise for well achieved effects and what not.

Yup, definitely looks better! You and M4x1mu$ are right! I will change up the text too.

I've no idea what is this about lol

The original tutorial teaches how to make an aged poster. It's here:

Create a Colorful Aged Poster With Special Lighting Effects | Tutorial9

I'm just doing tutorials to see different techniques, make a lot of graphic work and then slowly come up with my own style.
 
Yes, this is good. Didn't think you could make it much "better," but the lighter BG with more of the smudgy cosmic effects is good. I can't really tell if it's sharpened a lot but I can see the lens flare more so it must be my eyes (which ain't what they used to be). I wasn't sure about the text but it doesn't obscure the design of the image now. That can be a useful effect but I don't think so in this case. The only suggestion would be to maybe increase the strength/contrast of the letters, or maybe just the X. Maybe use a gradient or brush with a clipping mask to increase the glow at the top but not change the rest too much. That's if you want to keep playing with it. At some point, it's just time to say, "good, it's done." IMHO it's good!
 
Yeah, the text is still not where it should be. But as you said I think it's time to move on. I don't think I can improve it for now :)

I did sharpen the image.

Thank you!

P.S. This one got 5 Likes for me. Very cool! Appreciate it!
