*Red Arrow 1/26 - Rising Equinox - 02-12-2020

#1 (2.5/5 - $550k) Out of the regular sigs you made here, this one is my favorite. The render editing and jersey swap are really nice, and I always like seeing people swap the logos on the renders as well. So, I really like the SJS logo on the helmet. It's not perfect, but it's definitely a great start! I also like the text on this one. I think it blends with the render well, and I don't see any problems with it. The main issue with this sig is the background. There isn't any background work, or really very much done other than the render itself. To get into the 3+ territory, we'd generally have to start seeing some significant amount of background editing done to the graphic. I'm not sure how much experience you have with graphic software, but if you need help cropping out your renders and removing the background, this is a great site https://www.remove.bg/ You can upload the image you want to use, and it will remove the background for you, so you can start with just the render. It's extremely useful.

#2 & #3 (2/5 - $400k each) These two are very similar in the way I would critique them, so I'll just group them up. Again, I like the text style you have going on in your graphics. It's unique, and I always love to see that in sigs. Although, I would also try to not re-use the same exact text style on all of your graphics, unless it's a series of them that are meant to be similar to each other. Another aspect that I like is the colors in both of them. The colors do show the beginnings of blending together, which is something we always look for in sigs, because if nothing blends well, then the quality will most likely look low as a result. There definitely isn't as much render work done on these ones, compared to the first. Overall, a lot of the elements in both sigs just seem out of place, like they were just thrown on to just be there, and I think a lot of that comes from the backgrounds, because there isn't much done with the backgrounds, editing-wise. All around, I can definitely see the start of some good things here, but it will take some more time to really get there. You know what they say. Practice makes perfect!

#4 (Football Card Style Graphic: 3.5/5 - $400k) Since this one is a football card style graphic, the grading scale is a little different from the others. For the text, I'm giving this a 2/2. I don't see any issues with the text at all. Honestly really good work with the text all around, especially the signature on the card. That looks really nice. For aesthetics, I'm going with a 1/2. It's not that the card looks bad, but I have to grade based on the work done, and most of the card is essentially the original card art. Although, there are a few changes, like the logos you added, so I can't ignore the fact that there was some work done to the overall look of the card. For the cut of the card, it's a 0.5/1. Similar to the aesthetics, the card looks great, but it comes down to the editing done vs. the original card, and there wasn't much done in that regard, but it is still a card graphic with a good quality cut, so I can't just give it a 0.

Overall Payout: $1,750,000
