[Showoff} a few beginner sigs

[Bob_Magic]

here's just a couple of signatures i made.. theyre not crazy expert or anything because i'm still learning about photoshop. can i get some comments please?





should i use either of these in replacement of my current two?

You really need to work on your text, an awesome sig with a worthless text will most likely equal an awful signature.
The first one: Skip the scanlines and learn how to blend your renders. And, work on the text. Download some fonts off dafont.com and have this in mind: Not all fonts works with all signatures. Find a font that would fit specifically for the piece you're making.

The second one looks good, but the scanlines... sigh... They're too worn out

Work on your text once again

I'll give you a total of 6/10, you have great potential

Thanks for the tips, the first one is saved as a psd so the text and scanlines are easily removable.

Text is something i guess i need to learn any directions you can point me in as for text and blending renders?

It's not about blending the text, it's about choosing the correct font when arranging your sigs layout. Here is something I recommend doing:

>> Download and create a nice library of 2000+ fonts for yourself. What this means is accquire somewhere around 2000+ fonts load em into your main FONTS directory.

>> Now for font choosing tips:

1. Reload Photoshop to ensure it sees all the new fonts.
2. Next once you are at the final stages of your sig where you would most likely start choosing a font, type the text you desire in the 1st font you think you will like.
3. Copy that layer
4. Hide the original layer leaving the "Copy" version visible
5. Go through the fonts until you find the next one you like.
6. Rinse and repeat steps 3-5 until you have about 5-6 differnt versions of the text to go over.
7. Once you have this make sure only 1 layer of the text is ever visble at once then start to compare them one by one. Hide & unhide, move the text around etc.

This will help you narrow down and start to look at more than just your basic Arial/Tacoma/Verdana fonts.

1st picture is way to big.
The 2nd is perfect size.

Yea, I'll have to go with the second one. You seem to have been told what needs to be done. If you need fonts I have posted 500 fonts here for download:

..and yes, either one of those sigs would be better than Kanye West

[DesertDarky]

I always like when theres outgoing text from a sig, it looks special. :3
I'd use the second one.

@mitron

I really like the second one, as for the first one, like everyone else said, the text is messing up the rest of the signature.
