I am talking before that nub, before the revolution of 03 things could get VERY nasty.

Ya'know, I saw alot of guys get reamed real bad, but I never had a problem getting "good" advice and help when I was first learning...

Here are a couple tips that may help:

- Do the tuts. Find 'em, and use 'em.
- NEVER make a filter the focus of your sig... enhancement is ok, but don't whore 'em.
- Get the brushes and fonts, learn 'em and pay attention to when they should be used.
- Don't be afraid to try things that are not popular here. Some styles and techniques are frowned upon here, but can offer you a valuable tool in your work.
- Don't post everything you make, I sometimes make 3-6 sigs a day...but typically only keep 1 or 2, if that. Don't be afraid to make stuff for the trashcan, lol.

If you see something I, or someone else made and want to know how..or want some advice, feel free to use a PM, I and most everyone here will be happy to give you some tips/ideas/advice when asked.

Do you use antialiasing on your text? It looks horrible if you don't. Look at that M. Look at the rough-as-shit outline....

I'm sure I've suggested it to you before, but It would really bring up the quality of images with text.

Also save it as a jpg, it makes a big difference.

yea gifs are gay. unless they are animated

Gifs are fine if the image is under 256 colours and involves a lot of straight lines with high contrast.

Go with jpg for photo-realistic type shit.

how do I turn that on? ive noticed the lines too. and thanks for the tips.
