stuck

Started this tag, got pretty much done, but then I got stuck when it came to finishing touches like c4d renders.



Help. ): also, anything else that could be changed.

is there any way the stock could be bigger? I'm not entirely sure I agree with placement or angle either. Or the size. =x seems a bit big for a tag.

Nope, this seems to be as big as it gets. :\ I'm getting mixed messages with size, here. xD Shine tells me to make sure the image fits in the tag size and not cut anything off, but you want it bigger. ):

The angle and placement is how the stock image was... What would be better?

Eh, I like bigger tags. More room to work with, less constricting. Besides, I don't think of them so much as tags, but mini artworks.

shine's right, for the most part. what you want to avoid is 'floating head syndrome', like in this old tag, here:



when done tastefully, cutting off bits of the image is OK, and can look quite good, such as, say, here:



all in all, it really depends on what kind of look you're going for. I was figuring that with the size of your tag, a slightly larger stock would've gone well, as you could've had a focal point that was more proportionate to the tag size.

try angling the stock at a 45 degree angle, maybe something like:



the stock in that was originally vertical. =]
