This might be my favourite piece you've done. I love the text and the way it just shoots off the screen. I'm liking the diagonal lines as well, they give it that extra pop so it doesn't look like a group of blended images.

I'm actually not a fan of the text, tbh it kind of reminds me of Microsoft word art. I'd also reduce the glow around Rollins just a bit. Its fine on the left side but on the right side there's a bit of an empty patch near his shoulder that looks like it is being highlighted for no reason. The blending is good and consistent but it almost looks like the background photos are too sharpened in comparison to the main picture.
It's not bad but I'd beat it up a little more. I do like the choices of pics because they don't look randomly selected and actually tie back to the "The Man" tagline.

I think you just don't like giving much a good review, looking at previous posts you've made, haha. But thanks.

If you can't be open to constructive criticism then you'll never improve

If you can't be open to constructive criticism then you'll never improve I'm very open to constructive criticism - I'm a designer. It's what I do. I'm just pointing out that you more often than not seem to draw a lot of negativity from a piece that somebody posts just for the sake of it. Constructive criticism offers improvements, not "that reminds me of Microsoft WordArt". Fair enough if you're not a designer yourself, you might not really know much in regards to the aspects of design, but if that's the case, perhaps try and get into it and see the other side of it.

Fair enough if you're not a designer yourself, you might not really know much in regards to the aspects of design, but if that's the case, perhaps try and get into it and see the other side of it. Well my first major in college was website design and I'm currently pursuing a degree in commercial arts and I've been freelancing on and off since I was 15 so I'd say I have some knowledge in aspects of design. I don't really think the microsoft word comment was that harsh, I didn't say it with intended malice. It was just a reference to the angle as well as the 3D effect. But in terms of not offering criticism on how to improve upon the text? You're right, I didn't include any. All I said was it looked like microsoft word art. If that's what you felt was negative/off putting about my reply than I apologize. To add onto what I originally said I wouldn't have gone the 3D route with the text. Text is actually the biggest thing I struggle with in terms of design, especially when it comes to graphics of this nature that are splashes or forum signatures, so I understand the need to try and make it pop/look appealing but I don't think you needed to go this route. I would of just stuck to using a flat design. But maybe that's subjective in this case since the overall graphic isn't heavily relying on the design of the text. Your undertaker graphic was a better example of a design that was reliant on the text because the 25 year thing was the whole reason for making the graphic if I'm not mistaken. Other than the text, I don't think I drew much negativity to the piece. It's not my favorite piece of yours sure but I don't think its bad. Like I mentioned in my first reply, I did say I liked your choice of pictures and how they tied together with the subtext. I felt my other comments were pretty minor like the glow and sharpening, those are minor things that can be altered. It's not like I just flat out said it was garbage. But yeah, I don't wake up in the morning and think "whose art can I come on here and crap on?" I just like to do my best to hit every bullet point in giving feedback. I feel like I do understand the other side of it pretty well because I've had designs for school that I spent over 20 hours in total on only for a professor to comment the text spacing was poor or it was a bad color choice or some other minor thing that I didn't feel deserved to be highlighted in the grand scheme of how much work I put into it. But even when I'm on the receiving end of tiny little annoying comments like that I still like to acknowledge them and appreciate them for what they are worth because in the end they are only going to help further fine tune my designs. But anyway thats just my insight on it, you don't have to share the same beliefs as me but you do have to know my intentions aren't to draw negativity just for the sake of drawing negativity, I do it because I feel it's the best way to give feedback that can help people improve.

You're awfully condescending for someone whose "professional designs" are not exactly ground breaking. Generally I wouldn't detract from other people's creations, but you're really asking for it. Perhaps you should take your own advice, to get into it and see the other side of it. You used a drop shadow. You used built in Photoshop filters. You extruded script text. You covered up a face. All things that if you're serious about design, you'd never do. Now this isn't to sound insulting to you, but I can't stand seeing other artists put themselves so highly above others. I do the crap for a living, and still don't act like a condescending prick. Life lessons.

Stop getting butthurt over his post. Don't post your graphics if you don't want peoples honest opinions on them. In regards to your graphic the blending is great, but overall it's very bland to me.
