As I am new to photoshop and making custom labels, I will always welcome criticism, advice, tips etc, so feel free to comment (good or bad).

Once I am more comfortable with Photoshop I'll progress to covers and I'm sure the great community here will be helpful when I do.

Let me know what you think guy's (and Gals!). :giggle:

Hi Pippin

Although i think your work is nice, your still a few labels sort imo ;)

The rules state:

• Covers or labels belonging to a set will only count as one cover and/or label. For example, if you have covers for several seasons of the same show, only one cover will be counted towards proving yourself.

The clean versions of your labels fall under this rule imo.

So you still need 7 more individual labels.

:cheers:

If that is the case then no problem as I intend to continue uploading labels anyway. I just posted when I reached 24 due to my earlier "c**k-ups" by not interpreting the rules correctly.

I just look forward to the support and help I know I will get from here when I venture into the custom covers.

Some nice labels there.

Several tips.. try not to enlarge images if you can. Avoid a bevel effect/stroke on text and logo's, it looks messy, and feel free to ask for clean artwork if you need it ;)

Thanks for your reply and tips. Will bear them in mind for the future.

I do try to avoid enlaging images but it depends what is available on the net but it's nice to know I've somewhere to come and ask. :cheers:
