Content and originality don't really play a factor when I make a sig. I just try to make it look the best I can. I do try to be original, but it's getting harder and harder.

That doesn't sound corny at all. It makes perfect sense. If you make a sig out of a guy getting shot, you don't want to make it all colorful and bright. It just doesn't fit most of the time, unless it is done right.

No, i try to re-create how the emotion would appear if it was visible. Its all perspective crap, without it id just crop and add text.

http://www.leetweb.com . There is a lot of this stuff their. I find it inspirational stuff in the sense of how it can,... I don't know why but behind all the anime trend in sigs and all that stuff it makes me feel something, even though its just trend i always find it like candy for my eyes. While it may not be art which is debatible it gives a sense of feeling when you first see it. No matter who you are even if you the most hardcore I hate trend fanatic it still gives something, or at least for me. Fantastic stuff. ch. rock:

I have lived by a basic philosophy since I got out of high school :

Cliche is non-existant. Pop culture has no true effect on those who are stable enought in themselves to understand what they find appealing.

Using this basic understanding , I have found the simple truth of personal satisfaction beyond social expectaion.

One should never resist the urge to explore something , simply on the basis that it is "cliche" or just not cool anymore.
I know that there are some of us here that intend on using our graphic tallents towards a career , and I can promise you , when the local radio station wants you to build them a banner they are gonna want what is popular at the time. They are more than likley not gonna be interested in what you think is over-rated.

This sig , Coheed is professional quality. It is similar to the stuff at LW , because many of the artists at LW are professional quality. An execelent sig for sure , man. Outstanding job.

Don't get me wrong , I'm all for new ideas and simple artistic styles. Hell most of you guys know me from that kind of stuff , but I feel it is important to expand and take all perspectives into mind to be truely sucessful.
