SDRacer48 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I got bored as many of you from "9999 Replies" may know and decided to start to make Vista orbs of random varieties. These ARE NOT visual style ready! Here they are: I will offer a little constructive critisism from my point of view. Keep in mind though that I am no PhotoShop Professional, that is my wife... Media Centre Fusion I like the colors you are using, but I think you should make a few changes: Drop the ripple effect inside of the windows logo. Maybe bevel and emboss it, or a different texture. You would think the ripples would add consistancy because the logo is round, but it just doesnt do it for me. Go half way up the icon, and take that shade of blue. The whole background of the icon should be that color with maybe a white inner shadow coming in from the top left (or northwest, however you look at it). Media Centre Remix Overall I like it, sort of physcodellic looking. A few things to improve it though: The Double border, it is not even all the way around. You probably weren't shooting for that, but I think it not being even makes it look sort of shoty. The shadow is in the perfect position, but it needs to be smoothed out. You can see lines in the shadow. 24k It is awesome, just drop the ripple effect in the windows logo again. Magenta Metallic Flux I don't go crazy over metalics, so idk. Dark Executive Shine Really nice and clean. But you should... Change the angle of the light, a little to either side would be fine. I am not crazy about it being directly over head. Brighten up the windows windows logo, I know it is dark themed, but it needs more contrast. Water Fusion Psychedelic Influence (For all you drug users ) I do not use drugs or even drink for that matter. So no opinion. Grey Ice Again, drop the ripple effect in the windows logo. For some reason, I do like the light coming directly from overhead on this one. Red Platinum Fury I just don't like it. Sorry. I just can't pin point it yet... Nickel It could look good, so I would: Drop the ripple in the windows logo again. Fix the border, I see the effect you were going for, but it just isn't working. Also, try increasing the contrast (overall) a little. Hope you guys like what you see. Feedback please! Remember, I am not a professional photoshopist, so these suggestions are all merely opinion...

carfalkar Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 these all are terribly aliased and it looks like you just kept recycling the same image and adding effects...

(MoC) Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 these all are terribly aliased and it looks like you just kept recycling the same image and adding effects... They were made in fireworks because I was lazy. And the image was recycled due to me not having to draw a perfect windows logo a billion times.

carfalkar Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I meant it looks like you take the same image you just made with all the added effects and just did something else to it..
