Whenever I see someone post a stencil in here, I automatically think "Oh boy here comes Autumn".

Keep criticism constructive. *"This is bad" is criticism but it does not help the creator improve, so you will be banned for this." i shouldnt really be needing to tell you this come on i had higher hopes
uh that only refers to saying something is bad on a whole without saying why, she pointed out the text specifically that is bad i dont know what you're trying to accomplish by telling two moderators how to enforce the rules
wow hostile, IJS, when someone says "the x is awful" without really giving me anything to go about improving it (spacing, typeface or any of that stuff in this case) I don't consider that constructive cause I really can't garner anything from it! but I know you guys have the whole edgy art critics thing goin' on in here so you guys have a blast, I'll go ask some other peeps - have a good day peace
If I made that stencil, and Autumn told me "that type is awful" I would consider it a constructive critique, because she pointed it out as a flaw and I would understand it as something I could improve. Of course that depends on the receiver end, which would have to understand the basics of typography, but it's not simply saying that something is bad without explaining, it's pointing one aspect out of the artwork, and of course implies that that aspect can be fixed.

people who expect spoon feeding irritate me i could tell you that type is shit but i know nothing about type so i wont be able to tell you [i]why[/i] it's shit. it's still a useful criticism to be told it's shit though
idk what more elaboration you'd want, i mean, what are the ONLY problems you can have with text: font type. kerning. etc. if someone says your text looks awful, they probably mean everything about it. if it was just the kerning they'd say so. [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] ur being hugely defensive and having a bit of a tantrum over a passing comment that is totally fair enough. next time someone says your text is awful and you want more info, just ask if they have anything more specific you can work on. i feel like thats a better solution than chucking a fit

cool let's agree to disagree, i'm not nearly as experienced as most people in this thread (im more a photo guy!) so I thought it would be cool if she elaborated a little more! clearly that doesn't happen around here much and I don't see me being a special case, so yeah you guys have fun doing what you do peace
lol ok then... [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] we elaborate where elaboration is required or requested. u just flipped out after a single comment, decided to say WOW THIS THREAD FUCKIN SUCKS CYA LATER ASSHOLES reasonable reaction if i say so myself!! [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] i mean it was a 5 second mockup (apparently) what did you expect if someone thinks a specific part of your design is awful then it's pretty helpful if they tell you before you roll with it
yeah lets consider it a misunderstanding i thought you guys were just being assholes. lol. can i request further elaboration thanks, do i need to sign something? lol. (jokes)
[QUOTE=Rusty100;36533644]we elaborate where elaboration is required or requested. u just flipped out after a single comment, decided to say WOW THIS THREAD FUCKIN SUCKS CYA LATER ASSHOLES reasonable reaction if i say so myself!! [/QUOTE] none of that stuff happened
[QUOTE=BloodyDragon;36533785]none of that stuff happened[/QUOTE] well it did i was just being hyperbolic [QUOTE=parket;36533185]but I know you guys have the whole edgy art critics thing goin' on in here so you guys have a blast, I'll go ask some other peeps - have a good day peace[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=parket;36533624]clearly that doesn't happen around here much and I don't see me being a special case, so yeah you guys have fun doing what you do peace[/QUOTE] "ur all unhelpful pricks, im leaving" [QUOTE=parket;36533759]yeah lets consider it a misunderstanding i thought you guys were just being assholes. lol. can i request further elaboration thanks, do i need to sign something? lol. (jokes)[/QUOTE] well basically i'd start by using a new font ([URL="http://www.myfonts.com"]www.myfonts.com[/URL] works as a good brochure for really nice, professional fonts) and picking something suited to the style you wanna convey then maybe work on altering the sizes to get it packed in nice and neatly and using size to put emphasis on some words, as well as maybe altering the kerning and word placement to make it flow better [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] basically what i'm saying is typography isn't just 'pick a random font, type words, its done', there's a lot of messing around to do, same as you'd do for any design.
[QUOTE=Autumn;36530855]that type is [B]awful[/B][/QUOTE] ya thats constructive criticism alright
Jeeze you guys really got your panties in a bunch over this when all that's said is that it's awful., it's because the is moving i can see worth working with in it. You just need to go back to the drawing board, do as rusty said and find yourself a nice, suitable font , work it up, then coand then you'll get better come back and show us and you'llget better feedback. What critique can really be given about a '5 second' throw together "idea" that currently looks awful? [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] fuck android. *there was nothing to comment on, so work on it a bit, come back and you'llget better feedback
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OdMLI.jpg[/IMG] The idea was to have a village in the middle but i can't place it right without it looking off. Started in colour with no reference so I'm quite glad how it came out. Overdid the bloom abit..

Overdid the bloom abit..[/QUOTE] I think the forest and the village are too big and high up, you don't really get mountain peaks like that which are only 300 metres high or something Plus the village is sitting as though on a sheer face, and the bloom is on top of the forest where it should really cut off at the pass through the mountains
I've changed my mind, I'm continuing with this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/wOKLG.png[/t] Darkened (and +contrast), now time to reposition the monster and entirely redraw the guy to indicate action and movement. [t]http://i.imgur.com/BdhIX.jpg[/t] Progress: [t]http://i.imgur.com/RbVVZ.jpg[/t] Just roll with it, it'll be okay.
the right arm of the monster is disappearing behind a rock
I-I got this, don't even worry. [t]http://i.imgur.com/YcPuu.jpg[/t] It's totes under control.
how about you stop investing more time in a drawing that won't improve all that much from all these overly time consuming changes, and start something new
Yeah, it'll lose all of its flow by the time you finish altering it. Definitely better off restarting it with what you've learnt.

This is nothing compared to what you guys post, but it's my first real attempt at creating something nice on my tablet. [t]http://i.imgur.com/yOPWN.png[/t] I'm not entirely happy with the way the colouring is turning out. Any tips from you more experienced types?

Watch your values and tones - that highlight on the shoulder looks a bit dull and I think should be more saturated as well hah, funny how I can see colour issues in other people's work but not so much in my own
