Decided to give my new photo editor app a try.

edit

very nice

just your text needs work

and also its better if text is in one place so it doesn't remove focus

It's not the best sig, but I like it.

gotcha, any tips on how to make the text better? i am not sure how to blend it very well.

First try just using one font, and a font that works with the sig, eeven if its just a simple font you can make it work

Try setting it to different modes such as overlay, soft light, lighten, using multiple layers and blurring or adding effects to some, using gradients that go with the color of your sig works good too

Another way I do sometimes is to use a clipping mask for the text, this is quite simple and works really well sometimes, you can also add more effects from there

Also try using some of the blending options under fx, Ive been trying to use this lately and it comes quite handy and produces a nice effect, you can add drop shadows, inner glows, inner shadows, outer glows, bevels, gradients, outlines, just play around with the different settings, try to get the text to stand out but still fit in with the color scheme of the sig

Use tutorials, Photoshop text tutorials, as I'm guessing that's what you use, I'm no expert on text at all, I'm learning myself, sometimes it really pisses me off.
If you want some expert help ask MINION, Murcie or some other experienced sigmaker for help, they will probably give you some great tips.


On another note, who is liking that new metal gear solid game

Yesterday when I saw that pic I just had to make a sig
Glad to see some gameplay today
Here is Big Boss

Not the greatest. It was going somewhere and then I gave up and threw shit on it. Some bright light shit mind you.



Its 6 in the morning. Gimme a break

AWWWW YEAH, Rep dat big boss.

i really need help with text. any links to good tutorials. i found some but they dont really seem to help in the way i need help

anyways heres a Nova sig

I decided to make some sigs for my four favorite characters in the book/film series The Hunger Games.

Following the style of the movie posters, I left them simplistic.

It's nice to see the return of some different people making some sigs. Nice work people!

Quick one I whipped up tonight.

Very good. i like

here's to my favorite,

nice background and effects

but kabal is really hard to see, I don't know if that's what you were going for or not though

having some of the light shine on to him would have probably made it look better im thinking

well it def wasnt what i was going for at first... but thats how it turned out. im okay with it

On a different note, your getting better with the type. But I would generally advise to not use decorative fonts if they are gonna be at a tiny size. Readability key and at that size the little extra flair that font has is a little distracting.

Having most of Kabal's face and such in shadow gives a good mysterious tone to the sig. If that's what you were going for, great, good job. If not, don't sweat it. I can't tell you how many sigs I've started with one idea in mind only to have it turn out completely different in the end. Usually for the better.

I feel ya.

yeah on that one i just used a random default font and literally did nothing to it.

edit akuma sig

I knew eventually I'd be doing a sig for Björk.

I like how it turned out.

First one in a while.

excellent !

very nice

also Im "trying" photoshop cs6 now, I need to reinstall it though because I was suppose to install cs6 extended

Im gonna be "trying" that for a long time though

Right now im using an early version of cs5

I'm amazed at all the great work here. You people "some of whom I know and don't" are doing a helluva good job. As far as TEXT was concerned. Try either,

or http://www.good-tutorials.com/

Both which can assist you in probably any field. Great work guys.

That NuNu

Haven't made a sig in a very long time...still, I love this thread!
