I will use tags for my first art form. Tag example For my second art form, I shall use flash. Flash example Constructive Criticism for: [Image 1] The first thing that hits me about this tag is the color. There is barely any color other than green, which in most cases is a faux pas. Although there is some red in there, which is good, it isn't enough to make a difference. Another problem is it is lacking a focal point. Because both the text and render stick out equally, the eye can't find a place to focus. Blending the text in some more should do the trick. The next problem is the lighting. There are several light sources scattered throughout, which leads to some problems. This causes a conflict between the render's light source and the light source created by the tag maker. Just to add to that a little bit, the lighting also cause large white bloches, which is another thing which should be avoided. Finally, the last problem. The background appears to be made up mostly of brushes, which displays little artistic skill. It's alright to use them as a base, or for added effect, but to comprise the entire background of them is pushing it. Constructive Criticism for: [Image 2] This tag, much like the first, is also rather monotonous. There is oranges compliment, blue, in there, but there is once again too little of it. The focal point works well for this one. The eye is immediately drawn to the render, although the brightness of the guitar neck makes my eye want to move away from where it should be. The C4D(s) seem completely random, and don't really compliment the overall tag in any way. It create a flow which in my opinion, doesn't seem to fit. To me, it seems the flow should be going up along the guitar neck, likely due to the fact that the guitar is in front of everything else. The lighting is also an issue. The conflicting C4D makes adequate lighting in relation to the render, but the overly bright guitar throws it all off. For my last point, I will talk about the render choice. It is best to avoid renders with large, open spaces, much like this one. It can often be hard to fill up these spaces, as any effects there would likely overpower the render. As can be seen, there are blank spaces on the right side, where the render has open spaces, which quite proves my point. so, from now on, avoiding such renders would be a wise decision. I would just like to point out at this time that the below statement should be reworded. It should say, "I understand that if I fail to follow all the rules, I can be removed from the Gallery and the forums" Just thought I should point it out. "I hereby will follow the rules set by the admins and mods of the forums. I understand that failing to follow all the rules, I can be removed from the Gallery and the forums themselves." Approved.
