Shinji Hirako testing C4D placement and text

[LilBasedGod]

well im not really good with c4d and text placement but i tried and tell me where i should work on.

The colors are terrible, over contrasted, needs blending and depth work. The c4d is way too blurred in the back I suggest reading up on some tutorials.

too blurred and washed out
bad colors, lightening is not that good either, and depth also lacks
as said: reading tut's would be good

well this is kinda something someone told me years ago about when making text u don't always want it too big or to far away from your focal .
and as for the colors they look washed out and blurry , try messing with c4ds and working on placement with them on other tags u make. or check out some tuts of it there's plenty of them around . colors i can see u went by the tie and hair color and the the shirt . you don't always have to go by colors of the render to make decent color , take for instance a tag remember me has made he doesn't go with colors of the tag he goes with lots of colors and it just works out for him . not all the times it works but most of the time . so gl m8.

Remember you need a concept for the tag, the colours are all over the place and there isn't a colour scheme either.
Text shouldn't be a distraction, but part of the tag itself, it should be implemented in there, not just set to an overlay and placed in a corner, and also remember the style of font, like sans serif, serif etc; read up on some text tutorials, they'll help you massively.

Also the C4D is way too blurred behind him, I understand where you're coming from but if it was less blurred it would look a lot better, because you're choosing the depth of field to be massive, even though it's actually only behind him. The colours of the C4D clash with the tag aswell, and there's no proper background really either. You can't just have one C4D in the corner and leave it like that (well you can, if you make it look badass).
