It's not bad for a beginner level signature! Much better than most of my works at that level lol. Makes me happy to see a newer artist wanting to improve.

You did a great job following the rule of thirds, and your focal is perfect. I must say that there is a little to much distance between the text for me, but text is another art to be mastered in itself. Next time, for a bit more depth try gaussian blurring the background on a 3-5 setting in the further parts for better depth.

One thing i'd like to see you try next time around; place some C4D's that follow your flow and blend your render.

What program do you use? You'll want to look through tutorials on sites like DeviantArt to learn new techniques and guide you through a full creative process from another artist's style. Getting to the point where people admire your art is the goal all artists should have, but there are levels you want to go through.

First you want to be able to replicate everything on canvas. It's just amazing the amount of things people can do in programs like Photoshop or GIMP, and I'm sure we haven't even scratched the surface of what computers are capable of. Right now you want to look at other peoples' art, tutorials, pictures, anything and learn to do them in your own work. As you learn more and more techniques, your art will naturally get better as well.

Second, you want to be able to understand what you do in your art that makes it look good; this is actually the hardest part because despite what you think, and what a lot of people will tell you, what makes your art great is not the first thing people are going to pick out. It's a mix of a lot of aesthetic principles that are going to make things really look beautiful.

At this point, you're making art that everyone likes, and non-artists and newer artists will admire your work. But now it's a matter of mastering your craft, and getting to a point where someone can look at a piece of your art that they'd never seen before and be reminded of you. That's the admiration you're looking for and it's going to take a long time to get there. But it's worth it. I'm not even close to there yet, but from the small bits of admiration I've gotten, it's definitely worth it.

Would you suggest fractal or abstract renders for behind the focal?

The photography class will definitely help you learn how to compose an image, which is something you can easily translate into your sig/tag making. The design class will teach you some fundamental techniques as well, and both classes will cover the aesthetic properties of artwork. And you'll be able to use your GFX knowledge to help you in class as much as your class knowledge will help you in GFX.
