[Advice]First signature

[CarlosJ]

Hi all, just got out of lazy leecher status so thought i would make a sig now i can use them.
well i've never done grafics before, ive been on alot of grafics forums and through that i have a stack of resources so i thought why not use them, so following some tutorials and things i came up with this:
1
previously i experimented a bit adding bits etc and these are my other results:
2
3
4
5
6

please pick what one you prefer most, thank you.
so then experimenting again i tried abit of animation and result is this:

animation may be a bit jumpy at start, but let it load and should be fine

so basically my point of this thread is to ask which one you prefer and then anything you like dislike, so improvements really please thanks alot

also as you can tell im new to grafics but i am willing to make a sig or something for anyone that thinks they may want one, i would like to stress im new to to this so sorry if its not 'pro' but i can do my best. i have all grafics software needed and if you give me description what you want i can give it a shot also i do have school and work so sorry if its not done straight away but i will get it done a.s.a.p

The rain is the smoothest rain ive seen in years! Very nice but overall its not my style (hehe) as you may know. Id give it 5/10 for a first try based on size and the different things.
My only real advice is to stick to 1 maybe 2 styles in a sig mixing alot of different styles makes most sigs ugly =)

Anyhow v-nice.

kwl thanks alot frost any particular reasons please? or improvements thanks

i don't know, there isn't really a big difrent between them.. and if i look @ them that one is jumping out.

[CarlosJ]

ok wel thanks then, i was kinda looking more for improvements really but thanks for feedback anyways.

make em smaller and remove the black space... if ur unsure how to do this.

photoshop:

New Document = Transparent ( perfer 350x120 )

Copy the content wihtout the black parts and past it and do your thing.

remember to save it as a .PNG .!

nice work btw for a first timer!

[CarlosJ]

thanks very much for the postitive feedback, i will try to do it without the black edging then. the only problem i have is that i flattened the layers all together and saved it so now i cant directly edit any layer, if you know how to unflatten the file it would be good thanks

I want one! Text Triple H

[CarlosJ]

I want one! Text Triple H

sure i can give it a shot then , jus a bit more infrormation than text (unles all you want is the text)
fill in .e.g
size: 230X320 (pixels)
colour: red
theme: grunge
render: link to render/stock you would like
text: i want it to say this please, try make it really obvious
extra info: anything else you amy want

so just fill in that please so i get more of an idea and il try give it a shot btw cant do you one at the moment as you cantt use sigs as your still in 'leecher' mode, but give me an idea now and i can work on it for when you get 'de-leechered'

Carlos only thing I can really reccomend is to move away from overspamming filter effects (we've all been guilty of that at some time though :P) and move more onto brush/render use.

[CarlosJ]

thanks but i didnt use any filters :P (actually i lie i used one colour adjustment throughout the whole sig) the colour effects were created using brushes. i actually dont know how to do the proper colour filters i want to use them but cant find out how i only know how to do the colour adjustment one but i know ther is another better way. the other colours were created using lighten/darken, different types of brushes and effects.
so any other improvements other than not overusing filters as i only used them once please, just looking for ways to improve. also if you know how to use the colour filters (not the colour adjustment one, the other one, i would be appreciated if you could say how, thnks)

[CarlosJ]

just wondering if any1 else has any other comments or improvements cuz im kinda bored and need sumin to do and sorry massi i missed you post (god knows how with that colour text) so thanks for the comments il take them on board, really i was just using so many styles because its my first sig and im experimenting and dont really have a style to stick to


and offers still open if any1 wants a sig done just try and follow this template to make it a bit easy pls
e.g.
size: 230X320 (pixels)
colour: red
theme: grunge
render: link to render/stock you would like
text: i want it to say this please, try make it really obvious
extra info: anything else you amy want


p.s reli sori for double post
