Thank you Stephanie I made this one a few months earlier, but it was a collaborated effort

[Stephanie]

Thank you Gary

 

[ThrashZone]

Love the colors you used in your new sig Stephanie,
And Arc's avatar has always been amazing,
I need to borrow Arc's emoticon "bow to the master" Animator

 

[Arc]

Lol ... that is taken form Crisis Core

 

[Bongo]

Thank you, Stephanie

Always welcome

This is a test to see if the animation is working >

and for me at this end - yes its working

For AddRAM

Changed the nvidia logo to another one, as the heavy one was not looking good there.

Inspiring others is one of my goals as a GFXer mate, glad it's working

Made this while I was at it Felt wrong to only use that nice text effect for just one sig.

Here yea go no prob enjoy,







Personal preference,
Cheers.

You really should resize the sig to 650x150 too. The forum will do it but looks better if the creator does it.

 

[A Guy]

Yeah, sorry, I meant the usual 650x150 display size

Nice ones Thrash! I like your current sig too

Some hints;

1. After completing the 1300x300 sig, resize it to 650x150, that's the applicable size here at SF, EF and NF.
2. Instead of making a signature that fills the entire canvas, try making the banner itself smaller, like 1200x200 px, and use the free space to add a nice drop shadow in it, it'll give a nice contrast to the sig as a whole.
3. Don't be afraid to play with layer styles, especially on text and banners, but also on strokes. For instance, the stroke you made on Bill's sig would IMHO look even better if you'd apply a nice bevel & emboss on it
4. Gradient overlay is your friend! Apply it on banners, text, strokes and even on layer masks to make a nicely contrasted shadow. Experimenting is key here.
5. Play a bit with colors. I myself am most certainly no hero with color matching, but the more you do it, the more you learn.
6. Custom shapes for banners are nice, definitely worth looking into

Good advice Stefan.

 

[Arc]

Playing with some text styles .....

 

[nommy the first]

Wow, nice one Arc!
Also thanks for including the .psd file, nice to see how one of the GFX gurus uses layer styles
