Hey,

pretty good for first time,(Y) only head seems a bit strange

[Cable]

Pretty plain, but it's better than most firsts.

[Jing]

i'd say fix the test, its a bit too plain like cg said.

[Blasphemy]

Great for a first. But try to do something with the text like blend it

[Mighty Mos]

Well, I tried to change it a bit:

V2

[Cable]

It's still simple. Look at the sig you're using, see how the background is all different? That's what you're aiming for eventually, a bg with density. Add things like logos in the background (barely visible), layers with brushing, or more pics, but fade everything so it doesn't attract your eye when you look at it.

[cklitsie]

For v2, try to stay away from outer glows on pics of people as it won't look good most of the time. The Truth text is actually a little less plain than in v1, so that's a nice improvement.
Personally I wouldn't have put my name on there like that, but if you'd really want it on there I'd say make it stand out a little less.

[Mighty Mos]

So I tried to add some things to the background:

V3



V4



V5

Better now? And is V5 what you meant CableGuy?

[Cable]

You're making progress.

It's totally up to you what you want to do, but I like to have the logo much bigger so that you can't see all of it, and then fade it so it's barely visible. You should add a border too; make a new layer, press Ctrl+A, go to Edit>Stroke and stroke a colour that matches, no more than 2 px wide.

[Mighty Mos]

Thanks
It just sucks that I have photoshop in german - so if anyone could just show a screenshot of where I have to click to stroke...

[Cable]

How's this?

[Mighty Mos]

Thanks, CG

[cklitsie]

I see you've fixed it even more, it looks much better now.
You might want to get an english version of Photoshop though, to it seems that would be easier since most of the (good) tutorials are in english.

[Mighty Mos]

Is this any good?

[Axel]

Where did you get the font for the first version you made? (the one at the very top). I've been looking for one like it ... cant find one tho

[Cable]

Yeah, the Pierce sig looks better. The new one; err, the text sucks. Other than that, I like it, but the text ruins it. Look for some grungy-type fonts.

On both of them, add a border (maybe olive green for Pierce, black for Jesus), it really improves the sig.

[Mighty Mos]

Sorry, I'm not quite sure where I got that font from. I think I found the font on one of the psd sites mentioned in the photoshop resource thread... I'm pretty sure it wasn't dafont.

[cklitsie]

Maybe you could look for the file in your (harddrive)/Windows/Fonts folder and put it on Rapidshare for him.

[Mighty Mos]

I just found it! I didn't download it, I had it already: OCR A Extended
If you need it Axel, then tell me and I'll upload it for you

[Axel]

Yeah, if you could then that would be great!

[ShAuN]

[Mighty Mos]

[ShAuN]

[Axel]

Thanks a lot! I'm gonna try to use it in my latest sig.
