Why am I posting these?

[Elicia]

Mais oui! Mes....comment dit-on graphics? Ah. 'Graphics'-graphiques. Mes graphiques est tres belle, non?

*Edit: I took down the ones I had up, as I don't do photo manips that much anymore.

Which aspect did you do? All of it? Including the photography?

[legacy]

Hrm...I see.

You still have a long way to go. What program is it that you're using to do this all in? Might I suggest downloading some more appropriate fonts and look up some tutorials on how to integrate them with more style.

The composition is kind of all over the place, and the eye has no real place to settle and no clear direction, it's all just sort of "Out there". That's not a good thing, by the way.

Try to avoid using ellipses, as they're rather cliché and more typically aren't even used properly, so it's not something you want to use commonly. Try to pick up on other tools of grammar. You'll be surprised at how much more powerful your writing can become in using them.

Also, try to make good use of contrast. The one in the middle almost looks like one big blur at a glance, and even when you examine closely it's difficult to read, as everything is the same color and of similar hue. Try to mix things up. Make stuff you want to stand out do so. The background should be just that: the background.

I know this seems like a lot of criticism, but if you take it seriously, you'll improve a lot.

Eh, like I said-these were made to order, using exactly what the client asked me to. I didn't have any say in it.

Also, I'd like to point out that I'm doing these on PowerPoint 2003, not some picture editing software, and that I made my first one two weeks ago.

[legacy]

You're using PowerPoint? O____o

[Elicia]

Yeah. My dad's super protective of his Photoshop, so I don't know how to work that, and I haven't updated my Mac in ages so I still have the 2003 version....

[legacy]

Protective about Photoshop, eh? THat's kinda weird.

But actually there's this nifty program called GIMP that you may want to check out. It's free to download and use(legally), and it has some cool features.

[Elicia]

On a Mac? Because I've been looking for ages for a better editing program that runs free on a Mac, and I still haven't found one...

[legacy]

I'm not sure if it works for Macs. I honestly don't understand why anyone would intentionally and willfully use a Mac to be honest, but that's neither here nor there.

[Elizabeth]

That's actually really good for power point. I don't know about you but the version I use has very limited tools and options. I like the 2nd one you did the best... The last one is cute to. Anyway, keep up the good work... And remember, practice makes perfect! (That line gets very old very quickly...)

[Elicia]

OK. So, I've been coerced into posting one of my sketches for people to see. If you want to laugh, wait 'till I'm offline. I know it's horrible. -sigh-

*jaw drops*

Elicia!! That is great!!! ;D I could never draw anything like that!

Nobody is laughing and nobody thinks it's horrible! So stop putting yourself down about how you think your art work looks compared to you friends. You shouldn't even be comparing it to your friends! Your touch is original and very good. Much beyond my artistic capabilities. ..

Nice Work!!! ;D

[Elicia]

Actually, I did this a while ago. I've been taking lessons from my older friends, but still... -growls-

Anywho, my artistic forte isn't drawing, as I've known for a good long while. I'm actually being serious, that's not my talent. I'm much more of a music person than pen and paper.
