This is pretty much my second sig that I've made...ever, so critic is very welcome here, as I'm a newbie with making sigs .

Well, since you asked for it, I'm going to have to be honest. I don't mean to be harsh, but it is very plain, there's a lot of leftover space on the left, the text really doesn't match, and the quality is kind of bad. I also have no idea what the sig is suppose to mean or be of besides for the words "Lake Effect" which still gives me no clue.

Making a sig or graphic shouldn't be just taking an imagine and slapping some text unto it. But practice makes perfect (or as close to it as you can get) so just keep trying. I suggest spending more time just experimenting and toying around with different effects and brushed on whatever program you are using.

I know from experience that making a sig is really hard, but you could do better. why don't you look at other people's graphics and read their crits. That helps a lot. The sig is really, really plain. there is nothing in it.
