Big pixels? interesting

and can't you use clipping mask for text in the big open green space without drawing focus? T_T

Adding a clipping mask over the text is definitely a solution, and also one that I tried. Just because the text has a mask over it that adds the same style and the same colors doesn't mean that it will auto fit. The image composition that I create has a certain balance, a certain flow, visual direction. By adding in another object, aka text, whether clipping masked or not, it still is an obstruction in that composition and flow that I had planned and created.

Sometimes, tag designers put text and stock first, and then build the image off of that. I, on the other hand, like to build my composition based on the stock, and if text fits, so be it. I don't force type in, because in most cases, it will not fit.

Yea, I know what you mean, text is a *****.

But on a forum, basically everyone wants text so I just try to make it as blended as possible while still making them happy :D

Well, like I said in the first post, I'm doing this more for my own practice with image compositions than really for a 'business' persay. I mean, if this was a freelance job and there was some money being exchanged, then hell yeah, you would have more typography than you would know what to do with. Unfortunately, this is not the case. :(

Since you're not busy I've been on a request spree.
(Learned a lot of new champions so I need signatures for them >:D)

I would like a Tristana signature
Dimensions: 500x200
Picture: Tristana
Specifications: If you could make it really cool, I chose this image because I thought you could make great use of the water and the character.

Optional: I know you don't like typography, so if it looks good could you put my name on it "Obtains". I've always been paranoid someone will steal the signature on some other site or just randomly.


Thanks!

was unable to fit in typography. i tried, but nothing fit. Even tried fitting initials into the middle box, but type was just too distracting. Went for a new subtle sort of style, hope you enjoy.


Waw, thats original :o
I like it, thanks.
