who?

it's better that you don't find out...anyway....you keep working on it...the stuff you have seem too cluttered and the choice of colors could use some work...check out some tutorials to get a good head start

NICE SIG

The Hornets Fan legacy will never rest....

New rule: Anyone with a shit sig, or no sig making abilities can not bag someone for attempting to make something.

The guy asked for constructive critisism, not noobs trying to get some cheap laughs. Anyways I don't think it's THAT bad ... the background has promise, the text isn't very good and the player pics/cutting/positioning/effects could use some work. It's not nbalive744, hornets_fan or wankster territory though.

I made a suns sig and tried to make it less clutered here it is

change the purple

ok i changed the purple

looks a little better

i still like the first version better

I'm not Colin, but I can give some tips. Try to use bigger pics (see ex. 1 and 2), about the shoulders up or so. Logos usually don't look to good if they're small, you can use them as a sort of background and make them much bigger then the sig (see ex. 3). Text is hard to get right, but usually less is better, and try to make it match the theme of the sig; like if the sig is vibrant with sharp edges, maybe use a slightly spikey text; whereas if the sig is dark and maybe blurry, go for more of a grunge-type text.

Thanks for the advice Jugs/Cable Guy I will try out the sugestions in my next sig.

No problem, Colin will give you tips too, his will be better

This one is al alil betetr. But dont make two pics of the same thing

Why not? That's how you get better, you learn from and fix your mistakes (hint, hint). Personally I like the second one better because the colour matches Nash's jersey better.

Jugs is very good, if not the best PS user of all time

i made a lebron sig here it is

I usually desaturate my images before putting them into the sig, then at the end, add a color layer over the entire thing. I prefer monotone, as having too many colors can distract the eyes from the focal point of the sig.

This signature is very hard to tell the colors. The text is hard to see, i would suggest taking the Cavs logo and desaturing it, then putting it behind a layer or two of the background. That will make your text easier to see... also, red is straining on the eyes, so it's probably better to go with an easier color. Putting a 1px stroke around your text is also an easy way to make it show up better, but make sure you pick your stoke color well to go with the sig.
