moogie 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2005 I've taken the plunge and made a sig, and my inspiration to do it came from all the great sig makers on this forum. It's a bit intimidating not only to post it but then to go ahead and actually ask for comments. But here we go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted November 18, 2005 i say it pretty good use of filters, i would have done something else with the text, do a little cursive to it and then outer glow it as well. good start in blending images as well. Don't forget your border as well.Also i think a nice Light blue as a overlay color would have good with this or or a bright color just cuz of the serentiy of the images that you used.7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted November 18, 2005 I don't do graphics, so I don't know about the particulars. Only thing I know is that is a nice sig. At least I like it. Don't get me wrong, I like the techno/grunge or what have you that is commonly done on this site for sigs, but this one presents the images nicely. Perhaps a border and larger text , but those can be overdone as well. Nice job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moogie 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2005 Thank you to both of you for the comments. I've added a border and made the text a bit larger and added a bit of an outer glow to the text. Not sure the I got the blue color overlay quite right, but here it is again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avalon 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2005 Moogie, very nice job for a first sig. I don't think that is the 1 pixel border SM had in mind. If you are using Photoshop, I think this is the border he meant.Add a new layer above all the other layersPress Ctrl+A to 'select all'Go to edit menu then 'stroke''Stroke' the sig with a 1 pixel black inside line.That will give you a 1 pixel black border around the sig.If you are using Paintshop, I can't remember how to do it the easy way, but you can always draw a 1 pixel line around the sig with the pen tool.Read some of the tutorials here for tips on using borders and text, they are however aimed at Photoshop users.

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted November 19, 2005 Single border one that you posted two posts back is more appealing to my eye... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
