Tijuana rookie sigs

Okay, so from top to bottom, I'll consider these #1-4 respectively.
(3.5/5 $850k) This grade is for sigs 1, 3, and 4. All of these sigs look extremely crisp. The renders, text style, and overall designs are all fantastic and really come together nicely. I especially like the look of that first one. Seriously though, the render editing on these is awesome. But, even though they look really good, they're pretty simple. There isn't really much going on overall, and it doesn't seem like you did any editing or work with the backgrounds, except for possibly a blur effect if that wasn't already there. The only other minor thing I would really like to point out is with the text. I generally don't think it's a great idea to put the text behind the render on a sig. It can work, and I've seen it work, but it really has to have a purpose from a design standpoint to be behind the render. With these, it just seems like the reasoning was to not cover the renders, because everything is in the center of the sigs and overlapping. This doesn't necessarily take away much from these sigs, as they are all very good, but it definitely covers the names enough to be somewhat annoying. ($2,550,000 total)
(4/5 $1m) I do believe the 2nd sig is just a step above the rest. It has the same overall style as the others, so I won't repeat what I already said above. The same general idea applies here. But, the render editing and jersey recoloring done for this sig looks amazing. Obviously, it's not perfect; there are a few areas where the old color is bleeding through if you look really closely, but overall that render just looks very clean. Great work on this! Also, the main thing that puts this one just a little above the others, in my opinion, is the frozen effect/filter. Yes, it's not an entirely custom background, but I think it was enough to not give this the same exact grade as the rest. It's just that little extra work that made this one stand out to me.
Great work all around though. I really like these!
