Comments/suggestions/criticisms please.

Tbh I think text is definately my weakest part of graphics design - any ideas to improve it?

Quite nice Peds. Well the background looks nice but the font kinda soils it, but you can work on that.

my suggestion: remove the bevel from the text :)

Agree.

Also, the white is very "bright". It needs to be toned down a little (maybe some faded diagonal scan-lines).

Drof took the words right out of my mouth

Nice job, 8/10

looks nice, think the text needs to be blended in a bit more color-wise into the picture (use blue instead of white on the gradient) and perhaps make it less dominant over the image, but overall very nice

Image updated... I think it looks much better now. Any further suggestions? I wasn't quite sure what you meant about scan lines drofder..

He meant something like this (made the scanlines a bit subtle):

looking nice there btw peds :)

Ah, that's what I thought he said, although I'm not entirely sure how to do it

I usually do a halftone pattern and change the opacity/layer properties.

So how do you do it?

open photoshop

File -> New with the dimensions: 3x3 pixels (make sure the background is transparent)
Click OK

create a diagonal line, when finished click Edit -> Define Pattern
name it whatever you want (scanline would be easier to find it :p)
click

open the sig/piece-'o-art you want the scanlines on
make a selection of where you want it, go to edit -> fill
a menu will pop-up, choose Pattern in the drop-down menu
and choose your freshly made scanline and press OK
click

fiddle a bit with the layerstyles and fill-settings ;)

(on your sig, I put blending mode on soft-light

ah ok

The line tool used to be good but I don't like it on CS2 now, seems a bit crappy imo
