My First Tag - Sahaj - Mar 31, 2016

I'm more of a clean graphics designer, and never really got into tag or designed something like this. I found many of these on a thread the other day, didn't know that they were called tags. So I started watching tutorials on how to make them. One thing I learnt, it really depends on your render and your own unique style. If you create something like this following a tutorial with your own render, it won't come out as good as the original one would. But the tutorials certainly help learning new techniques to make your own unique designs. Anyway, here's my first try. I think it turned out pretty well, considering that it was a first. What do you think? Any tips?

Would appreciate some tips, thanks! 🤝

You really should try to blend it more with the background. One thing that I notice when I see people first start tagging is they don't blend the render too much with the background. It's what really makes the background and render go together as a whole rather than them looking like separate pieces but on the same composition.

Thanks for the tip. I failed at blending in this one because the color of the render and the fire. And I wanted to make it with flames.

There is one thing that I'm going to try to blend it with the other stuff, I'll try adding C4Ds.

It's weird I never used C4Ds in tagging, I just googled it and a lot of crazy textures came up. I've seen them used a lot in tagging and my only suggestion is to not overdo their use.

Yep, will keep that in mind. Thanks! :)

Mind fixing the image? It's broken for some reason. 🤝

i fail to see how or why you would just categorize yourself as a "clean designer"

doesnt even make sense

Thanks, I should've used some other stuff for background that kind of matched the render.

Maybe, if I try smudging, it'd make it look a lot better. Thanks for the reply, I'll get better at it as I practice and make more of it. :)

Thanks a lot man, helped me a lot. I'll keep those points in mind with my next one! :)
