Default Re: Photoshop Is Hard.

I can't read the word after "DJ"

If it's supposed to be, and not just for decoration, readability should come first. Try reading whatever you make left right, from bottom to top, etc. If someone can't read it at first glance it's probably because you need to make it more readable!!!

Basically what I'm saying is don't go all out making your text so funky, you want them to be elements someone reads, not elements someone simply looks at as if they were a photograph or something abstract.

Composition. The girl and the text behind her have a weight in this image that makes no point when looking at it seem relaxing and visually appealing. Maybe even move the E 1 all the way to the left as far as you can, being cropped by the circle, with the E still remaining readable. Don't always remain within the boundaries of even symmetrical balance, asymmetrically balanced pieces are for the most part always more interesting to look at, and have a much more hierarchical composition that lends the reader or viewer not to be lost. It would be like opening a magazine ad and seeing the fine print first, doesn't work that way. It's designed to draw you to the images first, then the headlines, then the subtitles, then the first letter of the column. So yeah, always keep visual flow in mind yeah kinda out of it sorry
