My 1st and 2nd graphics using Gimp

[olypride09]

I decided to try and make something last night and this is what turned out of it. I know it's no where near the skill that other designers on the forum have but I'm just starting out. Keep in mind I don't have a program like photoshop but these are my first animations. I used gimp to make it and for the text I used Microsoft Picture It! Express 9.

The first one is just too big.

[Element]

Not bad at all.

1st one is too big

2nd one is gone, but I wish I had seen it...

[dfnghesmeh]

I would get rid of that bright green, it really doesnt match the colors in either of the 2 pictures

[olypride09]

the reason why i chose it is cause it's seahawks colors

Looks real good man, nice start! I look forward to seeing what else you can do fellow Griffey fan. Hint Hint!

[heykid]

I agree: lose the Lime green, even though it is Seahawk colors, Maybe reverse it, Put a light green background with Navy Blue text.

Also, change the fonts, especially "olypride" It doesnt work well with the images.

[Stonedrie2]

it works fine with the images, you did a nice job... much better then my first attempt..

[McKain]

The lens flare in the second image is a bit of an eyesore.

Is this what you're hinting at?

I havn't toyed around with my Gimp I'm more used to Paint shop Pro just got Paint shop pro version 9.0 so i'll be toying around with that

[dfnghesmeh]

The Griffey one looks good, solid compisition and color choices. I would work on cutting images out, it takes practice but you should get pretty good at it. It might be tough in Gimp, I'm not familiar with the program.

This one I made this morning:



I think I like the second one better
