sanghelios Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 So i was playing around in Photoshop today. Made some progress on a new card design. Here you can see a version of the Magician Girl and the Blue Eyes. I hope you like it. :) Havent added Elements so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Moved to Graphic Showcase. Too much purple. Ugh. Purple and pink are not the colours I want for an orica of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The font is also not very desirable in a Yugioh card. It's pretty unique though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastar Rainford Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The fonts have to go or be minimalized. e.i: narrow it down to one font, and I would stick more towards your Serif TYPES,then the Fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I LIKE IT!! dont listen to these mother lickers they are custom designs dude and these people dont know what theyre talking about Number 1: Constructive criticism is not a bad thing. Even if it can sometimes sound harsh to some, you just have to learn that it is there to help the work above all else. Never take constructive criticism to heart in the same way as if it was a personal insult. That is my advice from me to you. Number 2: A work can always see improvement. Sometimes it needs it desperately, and sometimes it'd just be nit-picking, but improvement is always possible. It's an important rule of thumb here. Part of what is graphic design doesn't necessarily talk about how the template looks pretty. For example here: Magi Magi works well for that template, though the lore is not in the best format it could be on. Cursive is not the best choice for wanting everyone to understand it quick and easily, and the effect box's font is a bit long, same that makes Magic Set Editor's cards look a little awkward. Meanwhile Blue-Eyes is definitely out of place there compared to her in that template. You could criticize me for stating gender roles for things like pink and heart signs, but despite that it's not the type of design you wanna see Blue-Eyes on. It's being displayed as a separate piece from Magi Magi and so being judged separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I agree that BEWD's card could be a different color as to differentiate it from DMG (it's actually Magi Magi; which is a Xyz counterpart to her, but is NOT the same). Given that it's a Vanilla card, maybe something to reflect that would work better (different colors would work). Like Sleepy mentioned, hearts don't really fit something like the Blue-Eyes very well; with consideration that it's designed to have more of a ferocious appearance. Template-wise, make different colors for the card types; not use one template for all Normal, Effect, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Ritual, Pendulums or whatever else we'll get. The fonts are festive, yes, but you should stay with stuff that can be read by most people (the simple fonts); I don't have problems seeing the current fonts, however. I'd also work on changing the font colors as well to reflect the rarities, much like the real card game does it. It's a unique design in its own right, though, that much can be said. As a sidenote, while many of us aren't at the level of Night or several of the GFX veterans here in terms of making GFX (or for that point, grading/CnCing), at least we gave some form of critique that can help the TC to improve his/her craft.

lord_ratatosk Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 you guys are telling him to change a custom creation of his own you dont see me going to leonardo for painting some ugly chick and telling him to change it. xD you guys get so defensive over nothing, get over yourselves. Calling me inexperienced isnt getting you anywhere dude. I really dont care what you have to say or think. And saying work can always see improvement? when it comes to art of something like this the final out come the creator makes is always perfect, maybe you all should take an art class?and if you cant read those fonts you should get your eyes checked homie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And saying work can always see improvement? when it comes to art of something like this the final out come the creator makes is always perfect, maybe you all should take an art class? and if you cant read those fonts you should get your eyes checked homie Stop making stuff up. If you had ever been to a decent art class, any teacher tells you there's always room for improvement, and that's part of what makes it fun. Be it for writing, drawing, singing, cooking, and so many other things, there is always room for extra advice. I see you are a card-maker. Will you tell me you never accept advice what-so-ever and tell people to STFU if they suggest anything? Same principle. Constructive criticism, much like anything to be discussed, is meant to offer suggestions and comments about the work to benefit it. It is never about attacking anyone. No one here is getting more sensitive than you are, to be quite frank. I'll ask you then: If you think it's as perfect as it can be, what is even the point for you posting it? What do you learn about it? Do you just wanna boast about how good you think you are and receive cookies from people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_ratatosk Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 i take people suggestions when peoples suggestions are good but most aren't to good, and the fact that you cant leave something the way it is and always want to improve something that, thats whats wrong with you and society :P I was messing around and never got defensive until you guys started talking your crap. Dont come at me like that. How would you get a cookie through the internet? I like looking at cool things and thats why people should post their stuff, so people like me can see cool and nice things. i cant help you or your problems so i have nothing more to say to you. Deuces brah im not here to argue with people, im here to tell sanghelios i like the template. so ya'll can hop up off my D and go on living your lives! :D Anyways Great job sanghelios i like these templates quite abit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions are meant to be helpful, and so in the best intentions possible, the topic creator will take what they think is gonna help them and leave what they disagree with, but that doesn't mean they get to bash at the suggestions. You get to say "I don't agree with that suggestion because..." but you don't get to say "I think you don't know anything". You involved other people when you said everyone that didn't like it didn't know what they were talking about, and you don't even seem to realize it. You are the most affected here. It is already a pretty basic thing to do that people that get annoyed start feeling deep down like they don't wanna keep talking about it anymore and act as if they were gracefully coming out with an irrefutable finishing statement that ends up with "good day", or mentioning how they are just "messing around" or "not taking it seriously", "I have nothing else to say to you". It's pretty much a pattern on the internet. That's actually pretty good for society. You are misunderstanding greatly. Always being able to improve doesn't mean that a work is being called "bad" by any stretch of the word. In the other hand, saying it's bad to think something can be improved, is just being mediocre. You are being mediocre. That's all there is to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synchronized Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I LIKE IT!! dont listen to these mother lickers they are custom designs dude and these people dont know what theyre talking about IRONY Admittedly, I kind of like them. There's definitely too much purple, as other people have already mentioned, but I like the font in the text box more than I probably should.

Sleepy Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 drop it dude i said i had nothing more to say to you. Not expecting a reply from me after such a number is stupid. Though I did tell you everything I had to tell you IN RESPONSE to your last reply, and that was that. What is even the purpose of this reply of yours now? I thought you weren't gonna reply, because that's the smartest thing to do when you don't want a conversation to continue. Owww staph Pweese! Dude, I have nothing against you. I'm calling you out on what needs to be called out for. Nothing more. All I've been telling you has come with what you seem to hate the most: Constructive criticism.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Not the best template for cards such as BEWD, but it looks good. I don't really like the purple nor the font itself, but the layout and color scheme is great. I would actually use it, tbh. It fits most of my card designs to a T.

Nicο Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm not sure what else I could say, especially that hasn't already been, but I can't very well see an attribute on either of those cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 lord_ratotsk, we don't take lightly to your foul behaviour in this topic. People post in the Graphics for constructive criticism, and this can be an important vehicle to learn weaknesses in any concept. While you may like the graphics posted and disagree with what other members have said, it doesn't give the right to flame them for no reason. The fact you only take certain criticism, means you should never post anything on this forum for people to look at, especially if you behave this way about something that is not even yours. I wasn't going to warn you, by now I've decided that your posts have ruined this topic and have repeatedly shown disregard for other members.
