Skate4u Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 well made that siggy, but i want to know what i should do to make it look a little better, also how do i make it max for tif rules? gwd drops:bandos:hiltx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazimcgee Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I can help you alot skate if you are using photshop, but it looks like you are using GIMP. Hmm It looks a little basic. You need some sort of focal point. Renders are a great place the start. go to www.planetrenders.net and find a good render you like. :) If you want to make it tif max reqs in filesize then use the save for web in photoshop and move the quality slider and check the filesize in the bottom left. YOur sig would make a good backround for a render. Also try and work on using text the flows well with the sig. So maybe some text with sharp edges Good luck :) Sn'C Events Team Member942nd to 99 hunter 2/8/07|26,042nd to reach 99 fletching 27/10/07|Quest Cape Achieved 22/1/08|50,000th to 99 Cooking 29/10/08Dagannoth King Drops: 7 Zerkers 2 Axes 3 Warriors | Armadyl: 1 hilt first ever trip and kill | Barrows: 2 Dharok Legs 1 Ahrim Skirt 1 Torag Helm 1 Guthan Spear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate4u Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 got a render, just trying to fade the image into the background, which tool should i use to do it? add a layer mask then gradient tool? gwd drops:bandos:hiltx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazimcgee Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Did my advice help? :P Well use the "displacement filter" filter > Distort > Diplace If you have any .psd's then that is a good tool to use. YOu could use smudging also. Or go Filter > Distort > Ocean Ripple. Then set the layer to lighten and erase with a low opacity brush the bits covering the render and messing up the bg and leave bits to blend Sn'C Events Team Member942nd to 99 hunter 2/8/07|26,042nd to reach 99 fletching 27/10/07|Quest Cape Achieved 22/1/08|50,000th to 99 Cooking 29/10/08Dagannoth King Drops: 7 Zerkers 2 Axes 3 Warriors | Armadyl: 1 hilt first ever trip and kill | Barrows: 2 Dharok Legs 1 Ahrim Skirt 1 Torag Helm 1 Guthan Spear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazimcgee Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hmm did you go on http://www.planetrenders.net? YOu have to register and then find an image then click to get full size then right click and save it Then open it up in PS Place the render in a good position also. Move it to the right side but lave space from the edge. It's all about composition Sn'C Events Team Member942nd to 99 hunter 2/8/07|26,042nd to reach 99 fletching 27/10/07|Quest Cape Achieved 22/1/08|50,000th to 99 Cooking 29/10/08Dagannoth King Drops: 7 Zerkers 2 Axes 3 Warriors | Armadyl: 1 hilt first ever trip and kill | Barrows: 2 Dharok Legs 1 Ahrim Skirt 1 Torag Helm 1 Guthan Spear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Follow Charlie's advice, he's cool. Other than that, the signature needs some colour and more interestingness... Try adding some other, different brushes to spice it up a bit. Also, the text is pretty bad, bright yellow + B&W + greenish render = no win. Also, it doesn't seem like the curly font fits the signature (so far). Keep working on it, though. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skate4u Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 can't seem to find a render right for me... I'll keep looking, but here is what i have so far, gwd drops:bandos:hiltx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopie211 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Better, but again the text colour is bad. Try white or something else that fits the colours of the background. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazimcgee Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Your Current sig would be great for a render. Try to find a render that matches the colours of your background but with added bits to it that make it stand out. Maybe shadow the hedgehog for the black and red one. Try sigs with dimensions like 420x175 or something like that. Try using the displacement filter now that you have afew .psd's. Keep the numbers at 10 and find a psd, repeat this but change one of the 10's to a negative 10 (-10). Then do this one more time changing the negatives again. Then set the layer to lighten and erase with a low opacity eraser the bits needed to make it blend and still stay in focus. Apply your image and repeat the displacement process. Then do this one final time. :) There :D Good luck. Oh and thanks jopieee Sn'C Events Team Member942nd to 99 hunter 2/8/07|26,042nd to reach 99 fletching 27/10/07|Quest Cape Achieved 22/1/08|50,000th to 99 Cooking 29/10/08Dagannoth King Drops: 7 Zerkers 2 Axes 3 Warriors | Armadyl: 1 hilt first ever trip and kill | Barrows: 2 Dharok Legs 1 Ahrim Skirt 1 Torag Helm 1 Guthan Spear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judobreaker Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with the others on getting a render to place in the image. Another tip: watch your image sizes. Right now you have a 300x200 image as your last result, it somehow does not look like a signature size to me. ^^ Maybe try something like 350x150. EDIT - Didn't notice Chazimcgee saying this too... xD About those colors, choosing the correct colors for an image can be pretty hard. The best thing you can do is first choose a render you will use and then choose a color for the background and the text so you are sure it will fit.
