- Bad font choice. Choose something less childish and more readable.
- Font colour and background do not work well together at all.
- Try fixing the white pixels left behind on the Payment images.
- The background is very low quality and has a lot of artifacts probably from compression.
- Maybe differentiate each section of text. Header larger than the body.
- The large black dividers look out of place and are not properly spaced from the content above and below it.

I'll try to fix those points.
Don't say "less childish" Doesn't make any point lol.

I changed the resolution from the picture. I took another one,
Is this better?

On another note, are you interested in buying Origin accounts? I have 25 that I'm trying to sell, have games such as BF4, Titanfall, Fifa14, etc.

I have 4200 Accounts. Probs around 200-300 not working.
I'm selling these. Alot have been checked with lots of good games ^-^

If you're seriously offended by me saying your font choice is childish, you shouldn't be posting in this section...

I understand,
You're criticise me in a good way, Do you have some points on the other one i posted?
(it's 4 post above this one)
Use sans serif fonts. Bebas Neue is a good one.

- Why is it so small?
- Everything looks crammed. (probably because of the first pointer)
- Doesn't look like you've touched on the spacing or alignment yet.
- Font choice is still abysmal. No need to use a random, pre-installed font with a wild west theme or something. Unless that's the look you were going for.
- Skype image has a stretched width. Try holding shift when using the transform tool or use the constrain proportions button to make sure the image is resized proportionally.
- Why are the 2 payment images right on the edges? There's a lot of space in between them.
- Take off the inner shadow in the TOS text. Never do things like that to main body text with information. You want to improve readability.
- The black to white preset gradient does not look very nice as a background.
- When editing your text, in the character panel, try changing the anti-aliasing. Your current text looks very pixelated which is probably due to no anti-aliasing. Try experimenting between the Sharp, Crisp, Strong and Smooth. (Look for this in the character panel)
- On a further note, parts of the main text look stretched horizontally which can also be fixed in the character panel unless I'm mistaken and they are different fonts.
- Try to keep consistency. Why do you capitalise every other word? Why is the 'a' in 'account' not capitalised in one instance, when right under it, you have capitalised the 'a'? Is this Jaden Smith?

If you truly want to improve, please don't make a rash reply and instead, go through the list when you have time and try fulfil each pointer 1 by 1.

If you want some better fonts, go on FontSquirrel and choose some from the highest rated.

Thanks, I used it for now. HQ man. :)

Bad font choice and the gradient doesn't look good.

If you need a little thread design done, I could make you one. You've seen my thread design already. :P

Anyways, if you listen to what Defy told you and work on it, then you'll be sure to improve. Taking feedback and using it always works out for the better.

Thanks for pointing it out. I almost live on chriticism, You can learn ALOT from it.

The second one is a lot better imo. Fixing the illegibility of the font and color scheme

I strongly recommend you read up on alignments, typography, color theory, composition...etc. Basic design principles.
After you master that, then you should read up on Photoshop basics.

However that's just the recommended order of things to learn design in. How you do it is entirely up to you.

Know that Photoshop won't make your designs better, so unless you do the above (and more), you are unlikely to create anything of quality.

Thanks for the feedback man, A friend Got me into this,
When i was AFK He downloaded it through TV & and said, Here goodluck. Spend some time on it.
I didn't read any tutorails or knew the basics, This is where i ended up to.
I'm going to see what i can do with your advice!
