Feedback on my first time creating a thumbnail

[Xeify]

This toke me 2 days to make just because of how inexperienced I am.

I used paid and custom layer styles.
I also used a paid pack.

Everyone has there first, but this would be like after 1 week of doing graphics type s***.

I did look up one tutorial although I barely used it. I mostly used it for the text.[DOUBLEPOST=1560482320][/DOUBLEPOST]

Nope

Try right-clicking it and open image in new tab.
Then you should see it hopefully?

I mean I'm getting good feedback mostly. I don't know if I should sell it once I can start making it faster.

Well, the layerstyles are okay. Maybe try finding a better font, make the red border a big white overlay border with a dropshadow instead, change the opacity of the sunburst, link the arrow to the text. Just a few suggestions. I can help you more if you add me on Discord or DM me on-site.

Shadows definitely need improvement. They shouldn't be opaque, and they shouldn't be so far away from their object.

That's the layer style I'll have to edit the layer style later and fix that. Thanks!

Very nice for your first, hope to see you creating more :tup:

Thanks!

I plan on using different fonts I just like questrian for some weird reason.
Red border - I think with a drop shadow the border wouldn't look as good.
The sun burst - I can do
Arrow - I can also do

Thanks overall!

Thanks for the help and the nice comments

Side note:
I changed up my PSD for something else and then deleted it.
I plan on making a new one and using the advice.

If you screenshot something I'll make a thumbnail with it for free.

Nah, it actually looks decent with an overlay border. Try messing around a bit

i have the urge to point out that the house in the thumbnail isn't 6x6.

It is but it's got a copy of it right on it I messed up the placement it's going to look bigger.[DOUBLEPOST=1560561411][/DOUBLEPOST]
