My Own Sig

Post by BatterY » May 3rd, 2010, 6:20 pm

I've been really interested about photoshopping for last month and decided to try it. So i didn't come up with anything else but a new sig(Soviet, don't worry, your sig is way better than i ever can make ^^)

My first attempt seemed to come out nicely, and i really like that the led effect looks amazing :D
But since i'm just a rookie, i try to keep it simple:

Potentially quite good, but there is no consistency to the color and it kind of removes from the unity. Also, shouldn't one of those +'s be a -? And lastly, I feel like the gradient is a bit too simple, unfortunately I'm not sure how you could improve that aspect of it.

1px black border.

Also, try and make the +Battery- text look more prominant (easier said than done, I'm rubbish at text myself), it's a bit too basic currently.

(and no, I didn't make my sig :P)

Yeah, text is the hardest part of a signature. I thought I'd clarify from before, because I realized I left mostly criticism. I think it's really quite good with so little experience in Photoshop. It took me much longer to learn some of the effects and things you used.

Well, you suggest me to make border (KS atleast), so I made it fade to alpha. Tell me what effect the border gives to the image:

Yes, I know it's a little bit rough from the upper border, but I can fix it

Its boring. Basic primary/pastel style colour, basic gradient effect.

Only + for me is the border ;)

Add some basic effect like "clouds" to break up the graident in the background, add some effect, drop shadow, stroke, something to the text.

I made that one and I'd hope it's better, I have about 6 more years of photoshop experience than him :P
