    Thank you! Any criticism would be appreciated though.

    I can see how it might seem that way because it's the skyline but I have to put him up there and fading is the only option. I might put him in the middle since Dwight is not coming here and I don't like that part.

    I seriously request anybody to give me something to work with instead of the penis, death, china / Lin references..you don't have to say it's good when it's not and I'm not looking for pats on the back. I just figured people on a ROCKETS forum would appreciate it more and thus take the time to give me some feedback.

    For example, double logo with each a trophy, does it work?
    Background too busy, too dark, skyline..?
    Good photos of Dream, Max, Harden, Deke & Sampson or use other ones?
    Anything..

    Right now the only thing I have is Yao fading in the corner will always be considered dead, correct?

    So Tmac isn't a rockets legend, but Dwight Howard is?


    Makes sense... :confused:

    Even if Dwight does pick Houston, he is going to have to prove he is a legend before getting on there. Needs to stop being a quitter with no heart way before he can be a legend.

    He's not a legend yet, that's why Clutch City/Legends are meeting him

    He's met the best Legend and trained with him of course

    Yeah, sorry did not comprehend what I was reading.

    And yes he met Dream, but I honestly don't think he learned a damn thing from him, hasn't improved his offensive game in about 6 years.

    Other than Dwight, I like the wall paper

    I think it's fantastic.

    1. You have the city of Houston on there, because there's that word HOUSTON in front of Rockets

    2. You have the players represent the city of Houston personalities.
    The Hard Workman of OT, the realness of Maxwell

    3. You put the big men on there, which is what Houston is about. Dream/Ralph/Yao/Deke etc

    4. Everyone on the poster had a significant role in bringing glory to the Rockets

    Ouch. :(
    Although, I will have to agree with this. Its a good effort OP, keep practicing!
    Work on your blending, try to make sure each and every image flows with each other. Don't make anything stand out unless you specifically want it to stand out.

    you asked for an opinion guy. theyre very beginner quality, had to bring you down a notch since you seem to be fishing for compliments..

    your crops are shiit, using a magic wand to crop downtown, and a soft brush to crop your players.. when you use multiple images you want to make it look like each pic was taken with the same camera, adjusting shadow/highlights/contrast/hue/brightness can go a long way to achieve this. very poor blends, theres no flow, its just a bunch of pictures thrown together, some whole bodies and some fade, and deke just cuts off.. very sloppy, i dont buy the whole "wanted to get feedback before i go all out" nonsense.. designers wont release something they dont feel comfortable with.. if youre a beginner thats fine, you wanted feedback dont be upset when not everybody thinks your sub-par work is great....

    I asked for feedback, I was very clear about that from the start. How am I fishing for compliments, I asked people to be honest even if they didn't like it. However, saying they're just not good is not something I can work with..so I seriously have to explain this? Also, I said before these are just starters and I wanted to know how I can make them better. If seriously nobody likes them, then I will not work on them so sure if many people said they liked them, I would do it more professionally. Indeed I am a beginner. Funny how you needed to respond like an *******, because of your own assumptions, before you could give me the feedback I asked for.

    Sorry, OP, but I felt compelled to add a few things.
