Zibl Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 A few ones I have fooled around with. Now I know... they aren't too great. But Is till see myself as a begginer/amature, because quit frankly I do just about the same thing with every sig I make. Only when I make a sig that is worth recognition, will I become anything more :? . #1 - Nothing much here. There IS a border on it (may be hard to see). Didn't take too long. I dont much like the text though; of course it isn't my strong point: #2 - Again, nothing too much. I personally don't think it's all that great, but I didn't think it was worth to just toss away. So I slapped some Text (which I hate yet again) on it: #3 - Now this one, I like. It is my first attempt at an abstract sig that is more... well... abstract :? . If anybody wants to be nice, they can resize it to fit here on Tip.It (but still have the animation) :wink: : Please, please, PLEASE leave any opinions or thoughts. If I'm not told I'm doing anything wrong (or what I'm doing flat sucks :shock: ), then I will just continue to do it and never become good at Photoshop. So all criticism(s), opinions, and ideas are welcome.

axeraider70 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 ok well the last one is the best imo, but if you hate the text, then dont use it -.- axeraider70.deviantART.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibl Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Thanks. Surprised I got a reply :shock: :D . I think the last one is the best too. It's not that I hate the text, I'm just not good at deciding which text looks the best with the background, and what to do with it. IMO, I think my pixel/bitmap text always looks fine... but it is the other and bigger text (like where I type 'Zibl') that I don't know what to do with. Thanks for your reply though. :) .

bladewarri0r Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 the text isnt that bad... except maybe on the 2nd one (red background and green text IMO not a good combination but thats my oppinion)... other than that yeah quite cool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAGE Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Don't really like the first one, but the last one is easily better. I agree with blade, green text on a red background. Sure maybe if the text was a darker green but that text is nearly fluroescent lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeziz Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 First one's not bad, I agree with you on the text, it doesnt quite fit. Only criticism - seems tall, I prefer the others for their proportions. Second I like, as a suggestion for the text, try picking out the browny/green colour in the pic, and also the light yellow(orange) and see how the text looks recoloured with each of these. Using a colour already in the pic might help. This is almost my fav but... I like the text in the third, not just the sentence, like the font you've picekd for your name too. Just wondering how it looks with text fadin alternately in and out - top in, then as top fades out, bottom fades in, then fades out. This one is my fav, nice image, movement to grab the eye and interest, and text to go with it. If your seriously getting arty with stuff like this then head over to http://www.deviantart.com it's a great community of all-sorts - photographers, abstract digital artists, digital landscapers, cartoonists, animators, wallpaper artists.... plenty of mature, experienced people there who will be able to help out, and provide constructive criticism.

Zibl Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Thanks for all replies! I definetly agree with everyone, the text color for the 2nd picture doesn't fit at all. I basicly just left it like that though. I had fooled around with it for about 20 minutes, trying all different colors and layer effects, but I finally got fed up and just stopped on that. The first one started out REALLY good, IMO. But then I started to mix it up with a bit of grunge and tech. Needless to say, it went down hill from there. Last one is my favorite too. Moeziz, thx for the idea. Only problem is that I dunno how to do any other animation except the one that is on that sig. If anybody knows any website with tuts/guides about animation in Photoshop, post a link plz :) . Thanks for all ideas and comments guys!
