The Gradient

This is a discussion on The Gradient within the The Arena forums, part of the The Graphics Department category; I really like the overall design of the sig and it's feel. It was made for a dark skinned forum ...

It was made for a dark skinned forum connect? As it would then shine out.

There's a really good subtle focus on the soldiers epaulette. A focus one isn't almost fully aware is there, and yet quite strong.

The probably only part I'm not very happy about is the excessive amount of text.
There's just too much of it. and even if it's well broken down and sectioned off, it still creates a, if not strong then visible second focal.

My Someone Please Rate My Current Sig? I Always Get nuts In The Rate The Signature Above You. Thread...

Also Good Work You have improved since I first met you abandonator. 8/10 overall
I'd actually recommend basic rating to be done in that thread. And this leave reserved for more indepth stuff. In which everyone takes a part.
Otherwise this will just degrade into another rate my sig thread.

As to your sig.
Quote:
To be honest, even if I'm a fan of monochrome sigs, I don't like this one. It's very flat, without flow depth or focalisation.
It basically looks like a desaturised trippy background with a render and some text added.
For the record, the text is also barely readable.

Also the overall pixelation of the background does not goo well with the smoothness of the photographs. There's nothing to connect the various elements.

I think Antilles is almost perfect it looks really good and the plane propellers I think are blurred just enough.

Just some Experimentation Sigs. The First one is with Brushes, the Second with CD4's. Both are a little dark.

The second one, the c4ds background looks good but you could maybe work on your render a little more.
