I like it. A lot.

I can't say anything bad about it, tbh. Great job, Bex! I'm sure jam will like it.

thanks phil =] appreciated

idk tbh

I really like the effects but I think more reds and yellows could have been used. Especially in some of the effects on the right (in V1; on the left in V2).

But I do like it a lot. It's pretty hot, Becky. ;)

Render should be replaced.
Everything else is great ozzo.

Yes, well, UpYourJuiceBox, it is "that one" from "that band". :(

Please, make your comment more appropriate and helpful next time. It's okay to say that you don't like it, but please for a better reason.

My reason is good enough in my mind!

If you want a "better reason" uhm.. its too organe. maybe some red. Variety is the spice of life. Or so I hear.

"Organe"? Wow.

If you can't even spell the names of the colours, perhaps you should hold off on critiquing things.

The explanation you used for not liking isn't even appropriate for the forums, and by the rules I should have deleted your post.

But just be careful with what you say in the future.

I loves it<3333

I never really did like that render, but you made it go great.
I could picture some awesome text to go with it, but that might just be mee.

I think this would have fared better if more color had been used in the background other then just b&w variants. But other then that, by only real complaint is that I think the sig would look better if you hadn't made her lips orange as well, it seems to make it seem like there is too much orange. But overall, I think V2 is better but,, that's more of a personal preference then a fact.

OHKAI. GOD. Sorry for hitting the keys in the wrong order.
I swear to god. I'll never EVER EVER do it again.
I don't want you mad at me.

All right enough, stop spamming up the board. If you have a problem then take care of it elsewhere, all he was saying is that you need to watch your spelling, and it doesn't help that you had made the mistake after getting off to a bad start with a poorly reasoned critique in the prior post. So please don't flip out on other members because it reflects poorly on both you on an individual and as the board as a whole.

The Render is perfect ozzo.


I like it alot, it could use a splash of orange and white in inconspcious areas though.

DUDE, I'm just saying that that paramore girl is being whored in all the sigs. I'm tired of seeing her. CHANGE IT UP.

If that's not a critique, then I'm going to want a definition :/

"The goal in constructive criticism is to critique an individual so they will benefit or improve.

The question remains, how do we give constructive criticism without appearing to be phony or couching the constructive criticism to a point where the person does not take it seriously?

Constructive criticism has to be genuine. A person giving this criticism has to genuinely feel it is important to give it. The person receiving the criticism must have some level of understanding of your role, and understand that you truly want them to improve.
Do not use statements like, ?That sucks??, ?That is a complete mess??, ?OMG, no competition, that sig sux0rs, belongs in novice nooblar??, ?I hate it??. You are immediately setting the stage for the individual to become defensive, especially if there is already a bad history of communication. Take a team approach. In other words, use sentences like, ?Perhaps change the font, the pixel text doesn?t quite work??, ?Try blending the render a little more?.?, ?Add more contrast?.? Etc etc

By doing this, you have created a collegiate type atmosphere. Both individuals are on the same level. Now you can set the stage to critique, not criticize, and then begin to construct a foundation for improvement.

Constructive criticism presented in a positive way, as well as open communication, takes practice. Constructive criticism must be used effectively if the receiver is to improve."


Which I guess you did at least somewhat in your latest post. But saying she looks like she's getting raped isn't very helpful.

Whored stock or not, it's what's done with the render/stock that makes a sig what it is. Becky (ozzo) has a distinguished style in this sig in particular that is the very opposite of whored. It is actually very unique.

What also matters is how the sig looks. 2 layers or 200 layers, it looks either good or bad.

You don't like it, which is fine, but, by the definition/explanation above, you should supply a reason and suggestion to make some decent critique.

No one is stopping you (except maybe qwertyuio) from giving your opinion. It's okay if you don't like the stock/render used in a sig. But please use more appropriate metaphors and examples to explain why you don't like it in the future. :/ That's all I had a problem with.

Uhm, sorry, my definition of raped is the same as your "whored"

My suggestion, is to get a new render/stock.
Like I said, VARIETY.

I remember when everyone copied Neko's styles. That got old fast. Same thing here.

Well when you consider two people (Vasco and jamarie) requested sigs with Hayley Williams in it, and all people are doing is filling in their requests, you'd expect a bunch of tags with her in it at one time.

I haven't seen many tags in the past with her in it, and it'll probably die off sometime soon. But because two people requested tags with her, of course it'll appear as if she's being whored in tags.
