first attempt
 

This is the first attempt that I have ever made at a sig, what do you all think??

no sorry i dont like it

images should focus on the source pic, not be filter focused.

Emboss is ugly, keep trying though and don't let one effect dominate your entire sig.

you suck

Keep experimenting, dude. That's not a particularly good effect, but if you kust keep messing around with different ones, you'll get the hang of it rock:

not bad for your first. still if you are going to do a sig based off of filters try to vary the filters up some. use a combination instead of just one.

what are you talking about oOo:

it sucks

rofl

Is this 1CAV a Moh:AA clan? I was in 1CAV many ages ago but then again every military branch/division/section has been made into a clan 10 times over.


ps it sucks

We were Soldiers?

dont go too crazy with filters, if you use them just to use them then you get pictures looking like that one. Only use filters if there is a desired look you want to get from one of them(don't just go down the filter list trying to find something that you haven't used), and I wouldn't recommend using too many different filters on one image.

its still better than my first sig(s). +4 to anyone who can find them all.

well thanks for some of the positive feedback, plus I dont have Photoshop...im using something called photoimpressions

nope, this clan never played mohaa... the aa is for americas army

rofl Saigon Jakke drops the bottom line.

Heres my second attempt, what do you guys think of this?

the text is a no. get a cursive text and try to match it to the backround. make it there but not noticable until you take a closer look.

By a country mile. Still a bit large IMO, but we're definitely making progress rock:

thanks, but when I resize it it always trys to square it for some reason and im not sure why...so I have to work on that

Ditch the blurry border, add a 1 point single colour stroke border - Like black, or the second most dominant colour in the sig. I'd also be inclined to sharpen the image slightly - But its hard to guess if that would make it look better or worse....It'd be worth a try though.

You're getting there - Keep it up because I love you.

I love you too. [img]http://www.studiopenumbra.com/images/A%20Heart%20and%20hands.jpg[/img]

As a rule, i generally make mine 400x120. Anything more than that looks a touch gaudy for me.
