[A] My First (and subsequent) Sig(s)

[Russielloyd]

yeah ok, no problem.

I re-did the sig, i blurred the edges, it looks smoother now.

[Russielloyd]

So it got to the point where i felt like making a new sig after showing a mate an effect in photoshop. I don't normally make sigs, being that Video editing and effects is my speciality. Anyways, it's the 4th sig i've made in 8 months and also the 4th sig i've ever made.



What do you think?

Pretty. Its really nice. What program you using?

[Russielloyd]

Thanks, I'm using Photoshop 7.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Cool. I suggest you download some brushes or something to make your sigs more detailed and try some tutorials too

[Russielloyd]

Ok, thanks. How could i make that sig more detailed? and where can you download these brushes aswell?

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Well on live journal there are some places like icon extras
Or you can just search on google.

Oh you can play around with the filters a little to make em detailed. Thats what I did in the backround of my current sig. You see the lines? Filter

[Russielloyd]

Yeah, i know about the filters lol, i meant i cant really give the background detail (think you meant graphics or some style), i wanted to keep the background white, so the Aerith and Cloud picture would blend in perfectly and the feeling that their both looking at each other. If you get what i mean lol.

[Jess]

Pretty good! Yeah, what ff gurl said and also try adding a little border. ^_^

[Russielloyd]

Thanks Jess, I'm still learning whennever i use Photoshop, i know the filters and most basic stuff. For borders there no option to make it happen is it? Have to draw them yourself don't you?

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

No. What I do is you select all and then stroke. For the thinest border make it 1px

Btw, you should probably know that Stroke is under Edit. And yours might not have it maybe it does but im not sure since I use CS2.

[Russielloyd]

Yeah,, it has stroke, i found it out earlier. I did a border and got some sort of an effect across the picture.

I mixed the border with blu and pink for both characters, if anyone happens to wonder.



Any better?

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Pretty nice

[Russielloyd]

Thanks just give it another 8 months now and i'll make a new one, lol.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Hah! Thats long time
