Default Sig Request... - 06-08-2004, 11:48 PM

As everyone knows, I can't make a decent sig if my life depended on it. So, I would like to kindly request a sig. I'd like something with Jimi Hendrix in it. Thanks.

Man, your font skills are the most stagnant thing I've ever seen. You need to improve those, stat.

Well, i call text font. Text including Font Choice, Size, Color, Effects.

Font Choice may not be bad. Make it bigger, Id Make it a white, nice and bright. And instead of a horrible jagged Stroke, I'd use a simpler Outer Glow. perhaps a purple Outer Glow set to Linear Dodge. Wiith a nice heavy drop shadow. 100% Opacity BlendMode: Normal. Spread: 44, and shove that in the top left corner. This on Size 48 Times new roman might look good.

Ask Pick Axe It's his sig now. The image is on page 6 to 9 of Google image search for Jimi Hendrix, If I remember right a couple layers of a bluish neon glow, overlayed, opacity about 40%. Then the 2pix red border, the 1pix blue border, and the offensive text. I don't remember which standard Windows font I used, it's a common one, 1 pix blue border, Red color overlay. I didn't want the text to overpower the image, so I made it smallish and off center in its area, like the 'tracers' coming off the image. The contrasting colors were common in the day.
