First Attempt at a "Light" Signature. CnC Please.

I was pretty impressed with how the background came out... it was really pretty xD 



Used a smudge of an anime render, 4 C4Ds, and some light changing/layer mode changing.

This is how it came out, couldn't find a good render, but it looked alright.



CnC Please :3

Okie dokie, let me try the outline. Are you talking about stroking it? (Wow that sounds sexual...)

An outline or a stronger colour that adds definition will work, white letters on a very light sig don't work very well.

Do you have any suggestions on what color I should change the type to? Or the outline? 

Sorry about my questions xD I usually have trouble on the color scheme of things....

Try making the text a nice purple, like the color of her skirt, and lower the opacity of the Drop Shadow by a few bits. Other than that, lovely c4d work and flow of colors.~ c:

The background looks amazing, you can work around it in different ways.
The first thing I noticed with your tag, is that the placement is off. I'm not sure if you're aware of 'the rule of the Third', but it basically helps you perfect your placement for your render, text and sub-texts. It's your tag with 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines.



If you line up the face/back of the render with the left line, and the text with the bottom line you'll see how the placement seems better already.

how to make a rule of the Third grid in Photoshop?
(assuming you use Photoshop), press CTRL+K, this opens your preferences. (command+K for Apple computers) Click on Guides, Grid & Slices from the list on the left and change the settings for the Grid section as follows: Gridline every 100 percent, Subdivisions 3, and click OK. You can turn this on and off on every tag you make by pressing CTRL+" (apostrophe). Make sure you choose a colour that distingueses from the other colours on your tag, I used green.

I'm not a fan of light tags, but you've done a good job! KIU! c:

Oh wow that's so helpful! 

So should I have the face at the left line as well as the name (assuming you're calling that the tag maybe?)

Try a couple compilations, make sure the vocal points are there where the lines cross.
With 'tag' I mean your signature, yep.

Okie so I should make whatever the focal point is, have the main part of the picture and the tag on the same line? Or does it work as long as they're on a line? (I think my friend told me about this once but didn't explain it too well.)

They don't have to be on the same line, I'll show you a tag I made using this rule.



As you can see the text is placed around the line (close to the render) and the render is placed with the backs of the render in the middle. The hands here are placed in a vocal point aswell, (where the lines cross).

Maybe if you were to use a few blending effects on the render to make it one with the bg a bit, without losing depth it would make this sig look that much better imo

I like the font idea, cursive fits this style very well and the W's effects look amazing! But I just believe the font is a bit too "fine". It's giving off that grungy feeling that you don't want on this signature.
