ok how do u guys start out do u do the back ground then the foreground or what steps do u take

I typically do the foreground first. Then i find a background, or make one that looks really good with the foreground. Everynow and again i'll start with a background image that i want to make a sig then i'll add the foreround and text last. Text is always last.

For a girly sig start with the chicks using a contrasting background, so you can see your "cuts" and blending. Put the girls were you want them and blend them to look good. Then put a background in under all of that, reblend as needed to make it look nice. Then add your text, and effects.
