1.)stop making grunge sigs...everyone and their brother does them and theyve been played for a while...

2.)get some good stock photography...www.sxc.hu is a good site for that and deviantart.com has a lot too...

3.)get rid of your brushes...brushes should be used for blending and accents...not as your entire sig...

4.)use original ideas...the "everything is shades of the same color" thing was brought to this site by ltizzle and its getting played fast (notice he hardly ever uses it anymore)...the "everything is shades of the same two colors" fade thing was i believe distilled's idea (i may be wrong) and has since been played out...

5.)read some tutorials...you obviously arent very familiar with photoshop...play around with it...learn how to use blending options...they are the secret to doing good text...

6.)practice...youre showing some talent but youre letting your head get bigger than your skills are...

thats enough advice for now...
