    Okay, so I just got Photoshop CS2, and I have no idea how to use it. I looked up some tuts, and used what I already knew. But people, I'm begging for CnC. I really want to get better. And some tips on how to use brushes more effectively. But please, CnC. And don't just say: "It sucks you can do better." I don't appreciate that.

    Hmmmm

    Good, all I can see is some dropping shadow and filtering, nice for first, is big thought.

    Well, this is a nice edit, for the most part.
    It's very basic, but you did what most people who attempt this kind of peice fail at, which is:
    Making the effects seems as if they were on a surface, and not floating.
    But, the splatter at the bottom kills this, because it disrups what I said earlier.
    Maybe if you added text o that, it would make more sense and draw everything together.
    The coloring is questionable, though.

    Okay...there's not much difference to it, but it's a first try. The only thing that screams the most to me is those splatter thingies, they seem to be...misplaced somehow. And way too 'out-there' if you know what I mean.

    The splatter on the right was the first thing I did. ^.^;;
    And you mean add text on top of the splatter to make it more hidden? I think that's what you mean...
    And the color was sheer experimentation with fill layers and adjustment layers. I'm just exploring CS2 for the first time.

    Yeah, now that I look at it, the splatter is very... in-your-face. ^.^;;

    Thanks for the critique, guys.

    No, I mean add a nice text that matches with it.
    Like you see in some posters, where they have an effects behind the text.
    If you would like an example, I guess you can pm me.

    Thanks. I'll do another one soon, hopefully better than this one. But thanks for the compliment. ^.^
