SodandFries Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Well, it's been frustrating me to see people paying 200k+ for Sigs which just are an image ripped off of a Desktop Background site, some fancy text added, and maybe a border. I guess here is a way to easily make your own sigs for free. 1. Look for a cool background. http://www.Caedes.net has thousands of Desktop backgrounds. Just get one at 800x600, paste it into MS Paint, Sketch and Skew at 35% Horozontal and 20% Vertical, and it will not stretch the image too much, but make it in the limits of this forum. 2. Borders. It is simple to add a border. Just go into MS Paint and Click that Picture of a Square. Take it from one corner, click, and drag it over to the next corner to make a simple Square around it. 3. Cool font. http://www.1001freefonts.com/ has tons of free fonts for you to choose from. To get the one you want, click Windows next to teh font, save it to where you can get it later, click on the icon above the font name. It should show up right away in paint on the font list, but if in PhotoShop, you have to close out of it then go back in for the font to be there. 4. Adding the font. Click the Big A to add it somewhere, and make sure the second box is chosen, so you dont get a white square around it. Click where you want it, drag the box, and add the font you want. 5. Viola. Upload it and you have your new Signature. Hope this helps some people? P.S. If you have PhotoShop, there are many other things you can do to make it look good. But this one banner was made 100% in MS Paint, just to help people who don't have decent banners and pay high for some simple ones.. so they can make it themselves for free in MS Paint. The End?

entangle Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I personally know Geri, the owner of Caedes.net, and taking his/ his members wallpapers is considered ripping. P.S. If you have PhotoShop, there are many other things you can do to make it look good. But this one banner was made 100% in MS Paint, just to help people who don't have decent banners and pay high for some simple ones.. so they can make it themselves for free in MS Paint. Taking the wallpaper, and editing it is as bad as taking it in the first place. You added text and a border. You didn't make the original artwork, therefor, you only really made 20% of the sig.

N4K Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 This is just stupid.

Nadril Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Lol.... this is the funiest tut i've ever seen in my life. Riping wallpapers and adding a cool font? What are you smoking here. Most of the well respected and known members, and gawd, MOST of the members on TIF except for a few do their own work. Just because your mad that these people can do work better than you and/or sell their sigs for more than you can, doesn't mean you can think they are overpriced, riped peices of work :lol: And your image you made is very easy to do in a few programs, apophysis for example, could do a simular or better thing in few mins lol. So... , expect a lock on this :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundy2k2 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 i prefer to make my own sig's, im proud of the ones i make, i get a satisfied feeling knowing i have made the signature that im displaying, i know its not the best in the world and it may not be particularly good, but i prefer to make my own sig's and not rip them off from somewhere else.... just what i think, no-one has to agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
