1st sig

man good try

i was just like this too

I'm going to go ahead and shut down Axel say never completely desaturate an image. When you do that you lose a lot of depth and flattens the pic. He also was talking about monotone, you can start off sticking to one colour and working with contrast. But eventually you need to work with multi-colouring. Go ahead and compare my sig to this one in the post that's all one colour. Multi-colouring when used correctly adds to the focal point and if you can use shape and lines it leads you to the focal point.

thats cable guys sig, i'm not really good with PS but practice can make near perfect, some need more practice than others so if you want to become better be patient

[Jackal]

I think he was referring to this one:



That's the dude's, not CG's.

How come your pictures are so blurry? if it wernt for that, the sigs would be 10x better.

Colin, I know you're trying to help, but multi-coloring is a little too advanced for a beginner, don't you think?

Here's my advice:
1. Get bigger, better quality pics. Use either a site that has pre-made cuts or nba.com in the photos section.
2. Make the pictures in your sig bigger, like the Lebron one. You son't need to see the whole guy, just enough to make it look good. You might also want to add a duplicated layer of the picture on top set to overlay or soft light.
3. Try not to make the colors in the backgrounds so bright. It usually just takes away from the focal point in the sig, which is usually the picture.
4. Putting a logo in the background is a good idea (for big, great quality logos go to http://logoshak.com/) but either lower the opacity or set the blend mode on the layer to something else, otherwise it will look bad (like the Lebron sig).
5. Play around with layer styles in text. You'll probably just want to stick to a 1 or 2 pixel stroke, but it'll help.
