Member # 3 | Do you mean in that sig? Well, first off. Everything is useless unless it has colors. It wouldn't be nice without a compo. Make it better with effects. So first, find a nice stock. I prefer stocks that hasn't been used by most of the people. A new and unique one. Then choose cool and vibrant colors for it. When you've chosen the colors already, think of ways you can make the compo better. Like adding parts that hasn't been by anyone yet. Be creative and go with the flow of your tag. Don't be against it as it will destroy the tag. Once you're done with your compo, think of effects that could give life to the tag. Like, realistic lightings or high quality ones. Just think of anything that would make you say "WOW" to your own tag. | |

Member # 16 | #1 Never use photofilters while passing 25% unless you know what you are doing.
#2 Don't over-contrast your tag. If you are using color and see too many white spots, it is a problem.
#3 Use different techniques, and read up on some tutorials. | |

Member # 7 | well i'd say 300x100 minimum, i'd say anything over 450x180 or so is too big.. max i go is 400x160 or 170.. i forgot.
there is a new size style goin around, thats more squared looking, somewhere like 250x200 or 300x250.. i don't really know
what i focus on when making a tag (in order)
1. stock positioning- can make or break a tag sometimes
2. effects - duh?
3. flow - kinda goes with effects, i usually do a whole bunch of effects, then refine them to make the tag flow well/look good
4. lighting - if needed, i just usually use the lighting from c4d's, i don't do realistic/nature lighting
5. coloring - very important, photo filters, gradient maps, and the occasional color balances. try to make the colors look pleasing too the eye, and have them all flow together well.
6. text - optional :P
anyways thats how i do.

thats personally my opinion. My original dream with this team
was too make a place were not only do we strive to be the
best and win at all costs, but we don't leave others in the
dust, We as a team should recruit not only to succeed
but to assist the community as best we can. Think
about that when you recruit.... | |
