Just wondered what you guys thought. Comments, ideas. I know the text could be a lot better, but I've only been using Photoshop about 2 hours!  Blüe Screen: Team Flashing since '84!  | ||

Give him a "stooping" ovation! Registered Member #853 Joined: Wed Mar 05 08, 03:18PMPosts: 520 | Like the sig, but I asked Rob Deagle to do me one, and he came up trumps! I am a bit of a web designer (see my post) but not great at photoshop, etc! Nice piccie, but to go with your name, I would have done the flames blue...

Im gunna stick with Spyros idea of making them myself, but getting help along the way! |UKMD| Broeder wrote ... But how about the "here little kitty"'s |UKMD| Blue Screen in your sig? And where's the trema / Umlaut / what s it calle din English (them 2 dots) on the u ? Do you mean use the same font as the 'Here littlle kitty'? And also, the font I used didn't support the ü (alt+641 if you want to spell my name correctly!  ), so I just went for a normal u. It is only my first attempt after all!safari jim[UKMD wrote ... its not very blue........ can you change the flame colour? Well I'm sure there must be a button round here somewhere. Ill have a little play around and see what I can do! Same to Mick B, if I knew how to chnge the flame colour, I would of! |UKMD| Ging wrote ...

the artistic killer Registered Member #443 Joined: Tue Oct 16 07, 03:31PMYour Location: london Posts: 454 | oks first of all what you should do is be inspired by the render/stock always pick something with energy to make good sigs since ones without movement look boring text is hard to get right but always work in a balance with text and image since i class sigs as a piece of graphics design where you need teh balance also saying that make sure it is easy to read and is also not dwarfed by the render you can make fonts on photoshop but that proccess is a different story for a different day also seeings its your first time on ps dont be shy to use the layer system and always experiment thats where i learnt half of the stuff i do now my DeviantArt profile my far cry 2 guide me likes this picture-->   | ||

You don't make fonts you download them and put them in the fonts folder C: / Windows/ Fonts atleast i think thats where they go lol Spyro, I'm not a complete noob! I didnt mean MAKE the fonts, I just meant, make them fancier. You know, blend it into the background and put some cool effects on it and stuff! Oh, and with Vista, right click -> Install. No need to fanny about with directories! |ROB|D.Eagle| wrote ... also seeings its your first time on ps dont be shy to use the layer system and always experiment thats where i learnt half of the stuff i do now Thanks for all the advice Rob. I really appreciate it! As for being shy about the layers! I've been putting literally everything I make on a different layer! Should I stick with this method or are their some things that can be put into one layer? Thanks again guys.  And Broeder, I'm gunna work on your idea in a sec. Only problem is, the image was already clipped square on the right hand side, so it would have left a straight line in the middle of the pic if I moved it to the left. (If that makes sense at all!)

Registered Member #222 Joined: Mon Jun 25 07, 08:26PMYour Location: Brighton Posts: 571 | This is all v.useful advice. I'm also following this thread with keen interest as I downloaded GIMP a while ago but never really had time to have a play, until now. Hopefully I will soon have a sig too... whether it'll be any good is another thing The blue flame was definitely a good move for your sig Blüe Screen. |UKMD| Blüe Screen wrote ... |UKMD| Ging wrote ...

I'm on to it!! Just need to find a good image to use, and then spend some more time on the GIMP (I know that sounds a bit wrong  ). | ||

| bluescreen Registered Member #1147 Joined: Fri Jun 27 08, 07:25PMYour Location: Essex Posts: 672 | Well good luck Ging. I haven't used Gimp yet, tho I've heard lots of people mention it. I'll have to give it a go some time. (And yes, it does sounds wrong Ging! ) I just had a go at the old doubled up, one faded into the background, render type thing.

The funny thing is, the neck of his guitar was coming up from the bottom of the screen to begin with. I decided to delete it cos I thought it looked a bit too phallic!!! Ex:  please note.... Jimi Hendrix did NOT have a guitar shaped penis! Just wanna make that clear!  Blüe Screen: Team Flashing since '84! | ||
