Wow, just wasted two hours browsing around for different fonts. Typography is extremely underlooked; it's a wonderful art.
wasted?
Critique please [img]http://i.imgur.com/uUda6.png[/img] It's a logo for a modern, friendly store that sells miniatures for games like Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, Infinity etc. Anything for RPG nerdes basically.

its a nice idea but the part where the flask(?) covers the die's bottom right dot it looks a bit strange, you might want to flip the dots around or use a different pattern
Please rate accordingly. [B]AGREE[/B] [img]http://www.gabrielecirulli.com/p/20120217-190101.png[/img] [B]INFORMATIVE[/B] [img]http://i.imgur.com/mIL5f.png[/img]
I really like this one, [img]http://i.imgur.com/4Aq8u.png[/img]
it doesn't look much like a dice now tough.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;34738176]i cant wrap my head around the horn's perspective/placement[/QUOTE] true.. how the fuck do you even put headphones on a bull anyway??
[QUOTE=Rusty100;34738176]i cant wrap my head around the horn's perspective/placement [editline]17th February 2012[/editline] the San Antonio TEXAS font is so small it looks like comic sans fix this at once!!! [editline]17th February 2012[/editline] also bda did u use some of the fonts i gave you[/QUOTE] I ended up just removing the San Antonio text. Seems redundant, since the star is already over San Antonio. I don't think I've used it yet, but typography is my biggest weak point! If there's a place where it'd look good, it's totally over my head right now.
Made two logos for two different competitions over at 99designs. Just trying to get around to doing shit rather than wasting my days doing nothing.

Ye, I did. They are cool! I'm just going to use the grungy paint one for everything I do. If that doesn't do the trick, then obviously nothing will, ever.
So, I'm new to this whole graphic making with photoshop scene. I tried making a custom avatar (Which I made in December). Is there anything I can do to improve it?
most people will tell you (and it's true) that you should make shapes (vectors) with illustrator and not photoshop. Photoshop is for image handling, though you can do a lot of printed media on photoshop without problem.

Inspired by windows 8's terrible logo I tried my hand at making a logo for the first time. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kXr1Q.png[/IMG] Not sure about the alignment of the text
whats with the actual window, its like u just took a square out and awkwardly placed it top left, it looks really weird, it should be way more compact and together
a few people have mentioned that actually and I made a quick alternative: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/D96hm.png[/IMG]
now it just looks like the actual windows 8 logo but with colour and not nice frame imo theres no point to this, the other windows logo is way better anyway any variation of the windows 8 logo is gonna suck
getting my breaking bad design up on teefury, and selling almost one grand, really motivated me to do more design stuff. Here's a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas design I'm thinking of. Las Vegas is known for its casinos so I thought I'd put Duke and Gonzo on a pair of playing cards, coupled with some chips with the Gonzo-journalism symbol. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wildcards.png[/img] I think I'll go for a [URL="http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/15/1527/PNXBD00Z/plakater/steadman-ralph-frykt-og-avsky-i-las-vegas.jpg"]Ralph Steadman[/URL]-y approach, but put my own twist on it of course. probably warp the cards to some degree to make it more dynamic and trippy. Just black lineart and maybe some red, on a heather grey shirt i dunno. and some peeps on teefury said they'd be interested in seeing my other posters as t-shirt designs. so i did these real quick. [t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/equilibrium.png[/t][t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/deadcoppingafeel.png[/t] I've never been a fan of the Equilibrium poster itself to begin with so nah. and the Dead Space design on a t-shirt only encourages sexual harassment eg. copping a feel lol
i dont think any of those work on a shirt. the first one has poor composition and doesnt flow, the rest just down right will not and do not work at all for shirts

[QUOTE=Occlusion;34785170]Good logo, but what the fuck is christian photography.[/QUOTE] Don't ask me, don't ask me. I chuckled as well when I noticed the competition. But it is what it is, whatever it is.

[I]Equilibrium[/I] doesn't really work for a shirt, though, and all [I]Dead Space[/I] looks like is a disembodied hand grabbin' some boob. [editline]20th February 2012[/editline] What makes the [I]Breaking Bad[/I] shirt work so well is that it's instantly recognizable to fans of the show, whereas the [I]Equilibrium[/I] and [I]Dead Space[/I] designs need some kind of caption to put them into context.
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;34784898]shirts[/QUOTE] yeah what they said. I think the first one could be digged a little deeper. And I dont find that the other 2 are anything interesting. I remember that these were posters in the first place. Designing posters isn't exactly like designing tshirts. What can work for one may not work for the other. But nontheless, I think that if you work the first one, and match teefury's taste you should get something. PS I hate teefury
Thanks for the feedback, guys :) I'll look deeper into the Fear and Loathing design, but before I'll do that I'm gonna work a bit on the idea of Death Proof/Mad Max x Drive crossover thing. Here's a vague visualization of what I got in mind: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13290261/deathproofmadmax_drive.png[/img] I like the Death Proof best, but on the other hand, the Mad Max one (which needs a verb) is more widespread and much more of an pop-culture symbol.
what about Warrior cuz hes the ROAD WARRIOR
