Yes, I am new. I have been steadily improving from my first to my last sig. Now, text has been the #1 criticism of my work. What changes do you guys suggest? I feel the text in #3 really fits the sig. And when you say I should try brushing more, are you referring to the text, or my BG?Another problem, is I am using Fireworks 8. Fireworks doesn't have a "brush". Would getting Photoshop be worth it for the use of the brushes?
