Great work for a beginner. I have a few tips for you if I may. Try to make your signatures a little less taller in height, and a bit longer in length. You will notice that these sort of dimensions are used more often on the site. Also have a go at giving your signature a border. Doesn't have to be anything large or fancy, a simple thin 1 pixel border usually looks great on almost any sort of design. Best of luck to you on any more designs in the future.

For a beginner these are pretty good (especially the wipeout one!). If you are using photoshop I can advise you to experiment a bit with the smudge tool, path tool, the layer style menu, blending mode, clipping masks and apply image options.
I agree with GlenThomas on the border! An easy way to make a border is to make a new layer > Image > Apply Image > edit > stoke (1px). Especially start fucking around with using a lot of layers, just to give you an idea, the purple sig I used for quite some time has 46 layers. Quote:
1. Choose a black and white colour > filter: Render > clouds. Then start using the smudge tool with different settings. after wards use a gradient map for colour (not the same as gradient). if your background is ready just merge all the layers into one. 2. If you stock is really big you can paste it (don't resize it) and smudge it, this usually gives a nice background. 3. Use the gradient tool for something matches your stock and place a texture (rusted, metallic, paper, etc..) over it (change the blending mode and opacity, can also smudge if desired). If your happy about the result merge them (I usually don't, I just make a new group called background and place every layer in there).

Thanks for the awesome tips Aepriz!
![]() I made this one today: ![]() My first time trying a pop-out sig. I think it turned out pretty good. Last edited by DaFaztFingaz; 03-08-2012 at 01:17 AM. |

Wow. That is really impressive. I haven't seen anything done like that before. The colour is great and the pop-out isn't too intrusive at all. You sir are very fast learner, and a good one at that.
