Hey,

 

 

 

I recently got Photoshop, yay, sadly I can't work it for {I don't know if I can say what I'm thinking}. Anyway, I was playing around with it today after reading a couple of tutorials to get the basic idea of the commands. I then went solo and made these rather random 8 signiture backgrounds. Please give me some CC and advice on them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

PS: They are in no order of my preference. They are just listed.

Those are pretty neat.

 

 

 

This site could help some more:

PS: My favorites are the two on the top line and the green on the bottom line :wink:

i like the 4th 1 (blue and white one)

Urg, filter piles. They seem great when you start out (I know, they did for me) but you really must get out of them as soon as possible. Get some brushes from Deviant Art and learn some basic brushing tutorials. I have my own somewhere. Just read a few tutorials on how to get good colours and effects without filters (or as little filters as possible) and kind of merge them to your own style.

i done some tuts on basic sig making but theyre kinda... somewhere in the mess that is my PC files. ill dig them out sometime

I disagree, brushes are not the best way to make a signature, and filters can really add to a signature if you know how to use them.

not unless theres more to them

Urg, filter piles.

 

 

 

Eheheh. I'm still on that stage. #-o

Thanks everyone,

 

 

 

PS. Please dont turn this into a spamfest... I said i was new to Photoshop so get over that fact and evaluate what i have been able to do..

if im right, cad didnt say it was the best way, he just told him to get some brushes and do some tuts. TBH, if you cant brush, you cant do smack. i started with filter things and rubbish animation and advanced to brushes, and then other stuff. im still not much better( :( ), but i can do bits and peices when i need to.

My only advice is to realy just keep learning photoshop. It's usualy good that you find out what everything does (through filter piles) before you get to working on actual stuff. :)

 

 

 

 

 

So just keep practicing realy.

True, but you need something other than filters. Which is usually brushing or smudging. Smudging is alot harder than brushing.

 

But really, if you're saying if he knew how to use them you may aswell tell him to get C4Ds or tell him to use curves and gradient maps.

 

Basic brushing is ideal for beginners, it gets a better effect than filter piles and isn't really that hard.
