First car sig, and I have to say, I'm proud of myself. :]

CnC Plox!

The text needs some work

I forgot who said it but, he/she said to keep it simple.

If that's not what you mean that what? :\

i like it
i'm very happy that you feel proud about it, nothing can take that away from you

And, i think that the text matches the theme>Skyline
even tho i understand Crim's point of view (technical point of view), but still
good job mate

I cant really explain it, but i can show you, do you mind sending me your .psd?

Edit:

Well actually..I can tell you a bit

Theres several concepts to text
-Placement, it should be near your focal so the viewer's eyes don't look away from it
-Font Choice, depending on your sig, your font should compliment the theme of your sig.
-Font Colour, theres 2 choices to this, you can either chose a colour that contrasts with the main colour of your sig or a colour that is close to the main colour of your sig (kinda shakey with the words, but meh)
-Effects, there are many ways to do this, its sort of like adding accessories to your text to make it look better/more appealing
-Font Size, ill let rek explain this one

Key points:

-EDGE TEXT IS BAD UNLESS YOU MAKE IT LOOK GOOD (refer to some of rek's sigs)
-NEVER NEVER NEVER PUT TEXT IN A CORNER OR SATAN WILL CONSUME YOUR SOUL.

Reason I put it to the right of it was because I needed soemthign to fill it :s

Text and borders should only be added if it makes your tag better.
What crimson was saying about text placement...
Ever heard of the rule of thirds? If not read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds
You can apply the same concept to text to make it look good (placement wise).
Also maybe losing the blur to the text to make it simpler. You shouldn't worry about negative space, you can cut the sig on the side if needed.
Other than that it looks great. KIU.
PS: Sorry if it sounds harsh.

No, not at all.
Made a different colored one but, friend told me the one I already made is better.

Use the same text as the first on but put where the text in the second one is.
