shark sig

I made thisone in 25 min. to show a friend a few options of photoshop

RATES [-/10] PLEASE!

I'd probably give it a 6/10.

The color is good, but the shape of the shark looks like it has been distorted, while the legs aren't. Kind of makes the shark look un-defined.

Also - where the legs go into the mouth looks a little rough (almost like you feathered the opacity where the enter the mouth), and i would add at least a minor swirl of red around the mouth to imitate blood (when was the last time you saw somebody get their top chewed off without any blood?)

The last thing i might change is to change the color of the text a little so that it is more readable on the dark side of the image.

thanks for you comments,

i've some reasons for doing or not-doing some things.

in first place I havn't added blood to is, because i don't wanna suggest the person is eaten. Thema of the signature is: Shark, predator or pray? The reason i chose this is couse of many sharks are killed these days. So beside the shark is the hunter of the seas, it's also a pray to us, human. Blood would suggest sharks are just predators, while now, it's not specificly pictured.

2nd thing is I made everything a bit distorted, because the subject of the image, is maybe not the shark, but us, people. We're hunting sharks and that's why they will be extincted
so because the human on the picture is the subject and NOT the shark, the shark has been distorted a bit.

I know this is not the way much people think in first way, but if i design, i use this kinda things to make my message clear

7/10

kinda dull, i don't like the legs, kinda stupid really, cuz sharks don't eat ppl much, only sometimes when their either really hungry or when they think humans are seals.

the background is very dull, 2 much backspace. the water should be a bit more lighter, cuz sharks don't go down deep. and when your underwater, and looking up, the thing would not be hazzed. if ur looking into the water, then it would.

I think that there were some sharks that live on the bottom of the sea or whatever and in really dirty water(of course i could be mistaking).Anyway i agree about the legs.And i don't think that it's that deep couse you can see the sun shining through the water.Maybe he darkened it on the sides to get more creepy look or i don't know.I'll rate it 7 or 8/10 i'm not really sure.

Did you mean to spell "pray" as in prayer or should it be prey?

5.5/10
Shark doesnt look all that great. Legs dont work..doesnt even look like they are in the mouth. Text could use a little work. And wayy to much empty space.

[DonTony]

empty space is for emphasising the darkness of the sea.

I like the way you analyse your imagery. Do you make these analytical decisions before or after you've made the image

Are you doing or have done an acedemic art based subject btw?

The sig's ok. 6.5/10. I've seen you do better.
