rate my first APS sig.
 

i know its not that good, but i guess i decided to install it. ahh alex(DjHeadup) is rubbing off on meeee.

take the text out...

Before the rest of life gets on your behind, change the dimensions of the sig, 450x150 is the limit believe.

k
anx.

that is pretty big.. change the size and we'll talk

first of all its not aps its either ps or photoshop

second of all, to change the dimensions, go to image>image size and chane the height to 150 or so

finally, use a larger or softer brush to blend the two pics together

nice start bro, check out http://dafont.com/en/ for some better fonts, just dont over-do it

head up has the right idea on the gradual fade for the one on the left . looks like you used a soften the edges function which always comes out as a square if you go beyond 5-6 clicks.

try fading via a fish-eye (brighter in a circle fashion in the middle ) or fade left to right for the left hand image and right to left on the right image (both images would have a brighter part nearer the edges and faded to blend in the middle )

as for the text, you can keep it but you need at least a better font. i can't stress enough that the font (color, style and fader) sells any image no matter how bad the picture is. i can spend about ten minutes working on the image itself and sometimes up to an hour figuring out how i want the text to look. just screw around with different font types (i would suggest bank gothic md bt for your sig) and then go to color and then adding shaders and or fading.

Haha, I think it's the software that's tricking you into thinking that you're producing good stuff.

rofl, i was thinking the same thing. Have fun with picture it dude. ban:

Ok...here it is again for you b00ns:

500 > 450

200 > 150

124KB > 100KB

It's not that hard to make a sig that falls in the size regulations. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Change the sig or I'll smoke it.

keep thinking boys, keep thinking

What are you talking about?

not talking, just helping the kid out. now go on.....have your self indulgent fun somewhere else....shoo little fly.

Wow, can't believe that you use picture it. However, I must confess that your take on Harpua's sig is better than your own, and I'm a Philly fan.
