Agree with the above, loose the bevel n the bird.

And also a simple 1px border to split it form the forums.

jimbo, remove some of your sigs, two is ok, but four is just over kill. If you want to show all your sigs, create a topic like Kevco did.

These type of signatures seem to be going well at the moment, they do tend to take a little more of my time but the outcome can be really good.

What you have here is Recoil, Flash, & Mussel flash

PS this is a nice sig, very easy on the eye... Nice blend of the 2 Kill Zone images. If I could find fault it would be the text, bit blured.... But a awsome signature WELL DONE

The Killzone soldiers are one of my favorite images to work with, I did the one below awhile back. I had ago at Spiderman 3 today, comments please :roll:

I would say Text is my weakest point, but a lot of good artists suffer the same thing.

they both look good. All you'd have to do to make the text fit in on the spiderman one is do a text color out of a random color on the sig using the dropper tool. After using bevel, emboss, or drop shadow it separates the text enough from the sig so it can be read clearly but still gives a sense of unity to it.

Remember, always add a 1 pixel border! (At least)

Code: Select all

The first thing we want to do is create a 1px border around the banner.
- So Create a New Layer and name it "Border"
- Press CTRL+A to select all. Then go to Edit->Stroke. Apply the following Settings:
Width: 1px. Color: Black. Location: Center. Blending Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100%

I always forget about the border ;| Does anyone actually bother naming the layers? If I don't know what one is i just hide it to see what dissapears lol.

the "Kevco" text could be positioned better I think

Naming the layers is very useful, particularly if you have a lot of them - makes it easier for you to find a specific layer.
