So, i thought that i have been depriving myself of the knowledge of making sigs for too long, so i had my first attempt, i have done abit with photo shopping and photo editing (all in gimp) but never a sig.
So i made a sig in GIMP, i also (for the sig) made a pattern for scan lines which seemed to work well. Please give me some constructive comments, bearing in mind that i am a complete n00b   Ps, if anybody is interested, check out my Rc truck bash video i made yestereday its quite good i think  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rW1zAHt9rAEDIT:: Missed off the boarder , that is now on

Thanks, i am going to try another one later today, but i will be using my own picture of my truck, so that the sig can be for my forum I have a question (since you seem quite/very experienced) the way i built it up was with the red swirly bit as a layer, then a layer of randomness, using a lot of different brushes, all black, but when i tried to change the color balance of that layer, nothing changed, whats up with that

Lol. Cause you cant colour balance black areas. You can always try Hue/Saturation instead - Tick colorize and shift the lightness up. Vary the hue/saturation to your desire.

I agree that sig is actually pretty good.. just a few things that could be done are Blending the render just a bit. and also try using differnt text and also try blending the text in to kinda match the sig

It's very cool actually!
Why are you putting yourself down for nothing? Keep designing, I'd love to see more sigs by you!

Thanks Ink, i actually wrote the title before it was done, and was predicting it to be horriable, i have changed it to "not the best of sigs"
I was going to be doing another tonight of a pic of my truck, but it started raining  Ill do another one at about 10 tonight (uk time) |
