No you never want the text to stand out the best looking gfx all blend together so when you look at it your eye wonders and is not focused on one area you want the eyes to examine the entire canvas to understand the main concept lol here and you will understand

as much as your opinion is your opinion firespinner does have a good point. The image is supposed to blend well together and if I made it pop out it wouldn't blend very well.

First I recommend getting the photoshop trial then I would maybe add a white background soft brush and then add a mask and use a grunge brush on alternating opacity then add some corves a d a black overlay after that do a new layer set it to overlay and outline the text with white hard brush on 100% opacity then finally add a blue gradient overlay to really make it all blend then just mess with the setting until you get your desired image but I must say do t use flares they ruin the image a good gfx artist never uses flares if you check my portfolio u will see I use no flares

There's my problem, the only computer that can use photoshop, I can't install anything due to it being my parents and for work/education, my laptop is soo crappy it can't run PS. I am going to buy a new desktop sometime by May next year but until then I have to use gimp. I can use opacity and forgot about that when creating the image. I had a different background but the space overlayed it.

ild give a 7/10 its ok for your first try at gfx

well then I recommend an older version of photoshop until you get a new one as the older ones are more compatible with older service packs

Not just that, I have 512mb RAM, 1.5ghz intel pentium processor, windows xp service pack 3. My laptop is ancient but I haven't had time to buy a new computer just quite yet.

My 1st gfx was on my moms windows xp from 2004 and this is what I had made before I had my PC [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

What editor was that on? Idk, my computer is just over 12 years old so I wouldn't know if any photoshop editor would run.
