just wanted to say- like I have before- you have improved greatly. Don't be so hard on yourself. No such thing as "good" or "great" designers because we all have room to learn and improve. And you have have done that tremedously! Especially with fonting! ^.^

Okay so without seeing what you did before hand, I can't say that you have or haven't improved.  I'm not the Adobe expert so I'm not sure exactly how the program works.  I'd say soften your textures a little bit and work on your placement a little bit.  But most of that will come with more experience.  Pixel fonts will become your best friend, trust me.  I have like 700 fonts on my HD and at least 1 in 3 is a pixel.

I think you should.  We need more active peoples on here.

Hmm, it says you're not a member :S

What are pixel fonts? sorry if that's a stupid question.

 pixel font are the small fonts you see some of use use for tagging or slogans

they are a bit tricky to use in PS since PS uses points and not pixels for font

There is no such thing as a stupid question. 

I use pixel fonts in PS. but I still use version 7 so I dont know if it has changed since then

 i still use pixels in PScs5 but i have to put 10px and its converts it too pt
