Well it does have nice text, a lovely background and a solid colour scheme.

However it's sort of a dead composition, in that there are few areas of interest for my eyes to focus on and then create visual movement.
It's somewhat of a static image, I think, in that it's rather simple to process and then I'm done with the image and my eyes want to go elsewhere. A good counter example would be tag in your signature, for instance. It has a lot of visual information to process and generates fair movement and offers many areas of visual interest. While the former deals with type and colour in a more elegant way, i can't help but be more so drawn to the latter image because it's more visually stimulating to decode the composition and events within it's dimensions.

If I were to try and identify why your tag has this problem, I'd say it has something to do with the smaller stock, large text, and somewhat linear background. Though I will say that I really like the event that's happening with the smudging (?) behind the large 'C' and the right side in general where the flashes of red create contrast and really work with the visual noise to create nice vibrations.

Just something to keep in mind I suppose? I have no idea.

I agree, it is really simple. I kind of struggle with making complex/interesting compositions :x

I originally planned on using another style but then opted out to do a smudge tag. I didn't do anything else other than smudging and adding a noise layer. To be honest I kind of ran out of ideas on what else to do with it ._.

I think I might try using textures like the riku one does.

For some reason I get the feeling that it seems LQ in some places and not in any others (the stock itself & near the light source). All I'd suggest is a bit of sharpening to clean that up.

I love this. But that part of smudging (or unsmudged) near the 'C' is really distracting.

Also i'm getting back to our collab but I have been very lazy.
