 Posted: October 28, 2007 3:00 pm Post subject: New Sig Making Help |
|
|
As for sig making, I'm stuck and need help from some of the amazing people HP forums have out there.
1. Where do you guys get all those amazing textured backgrounds from?
2. When I save something as an image, it automatically makes this like white border around it. Do i need to crop it out or is there a way to eliminate that?
Thanks!

1. I usually start with a gradient, add some distortion filters, and then some artistic filters. There's lots of great filters out there - just google them.
2. What program are you using?

Try GIMP. Go on download.com and type in GIMP. Download GIMP 2.2. It's a free GFX program that works great.

Hm, I'll try it.
EDIT: Okay, I tried it. It looks all professional and neat (Thanks Kino!), but how do you use it? Lol.

Well GIMP is a fairly simple program to use once you get the hang of it. I'll PM you some starter tutorials, and as you increase in skill and learn GFX terms I'll send you some more tutorials that get you on your way to making excellent signatures.

Kindly sent over by Kino.
Though I got bored by his monotone voice after 1 minute and 16 seconds.

That's my very first userbar I've ever done.
I was dissapointed in my font. Don't really have any good ones.
But, overall I thought it was nice since it was my first time.
I don't know how to add the lines going diagonal in the background.
Haven't figured that out yet.
