My Sigs! I'm New, Hehe!

[Clessi 0]

Hi people, I'm new in this forum so I'd like to introduce my self a bit.

 

Ive been designing for a hobby (self taught) for more than 3 years now, and I'm yet to go to a design college next year

 

I specialise in making Website templates and forum sigs.

 

I only know photoshop quite well, and dreamweaver. I really want to get to learn some Illustrator ^^

 

Here's a quick sig I just made, along with some of my old ones - Mind you I havent been making them for a while.

 

 

 

 

Oldies

I Hope you have enjoyed! Any constructive advice & comments kindly welcome.

Ty for the comment & advice randomdood.I see what you mean by it being too sharp, I just noticed that my self too. My latest one that is. :/ Right I'll get around to tweaking it more ^^Glad you share the same interests, graphic design ftw.

also on your current on the bottom you have some spray or something, it just looks a bit articial, maybe duplicate it and gaussian blur it.

Your sigs are really good, they must have taken ages, maybe even days. I wouldnt know as i have yet to create a sig, can you suggest some tips on where to get good resolution images or maybe some tips for use with photoshop? I agree your site template seems abit too purple for my liking, but i like the design it looks really good.

Thanks mate. On average my sigs take me about 20 minutes to make. Some complex ones like 2nd took me about an hour
The template is my best so far Stayed tuned to my site as it might become something successful ^^

Render-world.com is one of the best place for finding gaming stocks and what have you. National sig league is a place with quite a lot of signature pros, some of em 10x times better than me. You can find lots of tutorials and stock packs there too. Bad thing about it is that the community there aren't very warm to newbies, since most of them are pros and therefore like to critique you till you feel like quitting ;/

Your sigs are really good, I like most of them a lot. I?m sure you will find a lot of sig-making addicts here at Xisto. There are lots of competitions and sig requests.As for the website layout I also see it too much purple-pink to my taste. Graphically looks good but I also don?t like the font that you have used in the boxes. I find it a little confusing. To read "affiliates", "Sponsors" or... "Sport-whatever" it says bellow it?s a bit hard for me.

Thanks , I'll look around to finding those comps
The fonts I used on the template is a bit confusing yes, but they create a sense of mystery so I'm happy with that

very good stuff there keep it up...

I like what you've done with the renders in your sigs. They're realistic people and i know how hair is usually terribly annoying to deal with. In other words, you've blended your renders with the sig very well .Although, i do have to state that the sig i love most so far from you is your current one. It's very subtle and yet seems to come at you at that little spark spot in the middle, still i would recommend you give the render-lady a little more of a body though. Good job with your sigs, they look awesome for someone who haven't been working on them awhile. Psh, I've been designing sigs and all kinds of stuff for years and i still cannot get up to a level of yours .
