Ok so it's not the BEST thing you're gonna see on here. That's because am not very well experienced in playing with photo editing programs other than MS Paint :P but recently av been messing about with Macromedia Fireworks for making covers for Mixtapes etc etc...

So please give constructive criticism and don't be to hard on me lol

It's really simple & that's just how a want it to be.

Ok so you cut around a photo and send a font to the back layer...
Definitly NOT the best thing i've ever seen buuuut seeming as it's a first it's pretty good cutting out.. xD
nah man carry on and you get awsome at it i bet.

Like a said, am not experienced. So you gotta understand how difficult for me it was to cut that out lol. Might seem easy to you guys. Thanks for your feedback anyway.

hmm yea quality just seems a lil awful haha www.good-tutorials.com this might help you a bit

To be honest it's not great. But I can see if you don't know how to cut an image properly that would have taken alot of effort and time.

Prequel said he/she wanted CONSTRUCTIVE criticism guys! lol!

I dont think it is that bad for being new at Fireworks. I dont see anything wrong with the cutout part. (its pretty dark and you cant see a lot of mistakes) And cutting out a background in Fireworks isnt that easy. I would suggest that maybe you work on some of the text. It needs to stand out a little more imho. Search for some fireworks tutorials and practice with them. I know if you do this, your skills will get better and better!

Yup I agree work on having a go at a few tutorials to get a better handle on things and also try working with colors - complimentary colors etc to see what works best as the text is a little too dark, keep goin your doing well
