I now present my yearbook entry.

I love the tiger imo. Please comment. Don't be afraid to give criticism. If it's harsh, at least tell me what to improve or make better. Thanks!

I love this dude. Very creative.
Good job.

The Tiger takes this from cool to frigen sick

Is that a picture of your HS in the back?

If so that just makes it that much better, looks great.

Needs a tad more, maybe some small cracks or something. Rest is niiice.

I don't know if cracks would really suit this, but maybe some nice colorful lighting.

As i said before, the most plain but vivid images is what makes a yearbook/cover memorable.

you did a great job in color balance - my only concern is that the text "high" is hidden somewhat by the render - maybe a possible dupicate white text layer for depth? this also could make the name of the school pop a tad more

i think this is perfect for a yearbook. nice job.

Thanks all for the awesome comments (and especially for the cut, I can't believe how fast that was)! I was thinking about the same exact thing about the text blending in with the tiger at that part. I can try the dup white text layer tomorrow, and see how that goes. Again, thanks guys!

edit: Yes that is my high school. I also need to make high school to words. lol

I just realized I may not be able to use the tiger. Wouldn't I have to contact the original photographer to see if its ok? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcpchiu/401994062/ I see that it has all rights reserved. What should I do? Should I shoot the guy an email?

very nice, I love the tiger and everything, but my only problem with it, is that I don't think yearbooks should really have a glossy cover

Well it isn't too glossy. It just isn't textured. It like a text book in school...

 

[uwp]

add some more contrast to the tiger. not sure about the x. rest looks nice

 

[Pugz]

Using the Tiger would be fine as your not making money off this. Hell even if you were I'm sure it'd be fine.

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

if you just say you found it on google or something and theres nothing saying you must give credit or something, youll be fine im sure

yeah I mean, it's not like I'm claiming I took the picture or anything. I only used the tiger. thanks guys.

you should probably get your stocks from royalty free sources such as sxc.hu or the free images at dreamstime.org. Anyways, it's all a bit empty but it looks good for what it is

 

[fletch]

Love it, it's just small but maybe make the "x" orange?
still great job.

 

[Oiler35]

Holy. <Censored>.

This is perfect. Maybe add a little thing at the bottom? A tiger desaturated, 25% opac?


Nice job.

Update: The yearbook entry contest deadline ended today. I should know whether I won or not by monday. Apparently, a lot of entries were submitted today. Lame.
