    How To Make A Simple Forum Signature(pics)

    So, I saw heaps of 'need a sig plz'. And I thought that some of you guys need to learn how to create your own, rather than get them made for you. So here is my pic-by-pic guide. Enjoy!

    1.Make a new image in photoshop with a black background - 400x130 -



    2. Paste your render image in your sig and adjust the size and place it where/how you want it.


    3.Make a New Blank Layer, then change your brush colour to White. Then go over your image with your brush (www.deviantart.com has an awesome brush selection).Make sure your layer order is like mine.


    4.Use the rubber tool to erase the brush layer just so you can see your render clearly.


    5. Select the layer which you have brushed, and press ctrl+U, click the colorize button then adjust the sliders until you come up with a colour that matches your render.


    6.Make a new image 9x9 pixels. (ignore the picture). and make sures the background is set as transparent.


    7.Zoom in as much as possible into the image, select the Pencil tool(1px) and make sure your colour is Black.Then create a pattern like this.


    8.Press Ctrl+A to select all, then go 'Edit>Define Patten Preset' enter any name in the box.
    9.Now, go back to your main Sig and create a new layer.
    10.Press Ctrl+A to select all of the layer, then go to 'Ediit>Fill' Select 'Pattern' in the drop down box.Then go to the thumbnail image (dropdown) and select the pattern you just made. Then press OK.
    11.Adjust the layer's opacity till it goes well with the image. and Select 'Overlay' as the image format or w/e.


    12.Press Ctrl+A once again, and go 'Edit>Stroke'. Select 1 pixel, Center and Black.


    After thats done, put in your text how you like it and maybe play around with it some more. I ended up with this.


    This guide isnt very advanced, i made it so that it was very simple to do. If you want advanced Sig Guides, go to pixel2life.com

    Enjoy it :P!

    edit: im going to be making more guides on stuff when i get the time (im just really tired atm with exams etc)

    doubt you could be a lead flash artist for newgrounds and not remember what photoshop was. but you should get CS2 (buy or hax it) and CS3 is still in its beta but it 100% free/legal

    Cack, you should use the 'Blur' tool to blur the edges of your render so they match the background.

    The 'layer' window will have a list all your bg's/fills. make sure you renders are at the very top of the list.
