Guest H.A.V.0.C Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Don't worry man he yelled at me too, then deleted my post.....I was very sad also. But then I just TK him in socom, and pretend like it was an accident. The trick is...you need to laugh while he is in the dead room and then when you die, just say sorry TOW but keep laughing on the inside. That really teaches him a lesson in your mind, and then you not so sad no more. ;D Quote

Red0ctobeR Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Also bigger isn't always better. Try sticking to a constrained pixel area. Like within 400 x 200. You can get jsut as much in that much area as you can in a huge one. Quote

GOAT Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Oh sheesh... LoL I posted in there too.. and just now realized it wasn't here like I intended.. guess if it's late night and you're tired you should double check post eh? Anyway don't feel bad guys... even an admin makes mistakes... "copied, pasted here and deleted there..." Hey don't fret!! I'm not entered.. I can't .. and all that.. I just wanted to join in on the fun... *NoT an actual entry!! Ineligible... Hence it's not replacing my sig.. I just played with the colors a bit and water rippled the background and thought I'd post it up for the hell of it.. maybe help others when a bit of thinking outside the box. So far though I really like everyone's.... Some Awesome work guys!! Quote
STREETSWEEPR1 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 STARTING TO LEARN THAT SHIT AND I STILL CANT DOWNLOAD THE FONT TO USE THE UF BORDERS to enter the sig thing which i would lose let me know if ya'll think these are junk or if there any good Quote
TOW-19 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 Work on a smaller template! You're trying to make sigs, not movie posters...........................right? LOL Someone gave you an ideal size above. I make all of APC's sigs at 125x500 When I make sigs for other players from other clans, I usually go 150x450 Give it a shot. Quote

Red0ctobeR Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Bought time someone startin to talk with some sense. LOL Quote
GOAT Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Sweeper, Not that I can lay claim to being an expert or anything… and I gotta give props to both Sniper and Tow (and yea you too Havok as well as quite a few more of the folks round here) on their Sig making photoshoping skizzles… However if it helps at all here are my meager suggestions.. If your using Adobe Photoshop (which IMO is the schit when it comes to graphics as well as Adobe Illustrator) what I do is start with a blank new canvas. Click new and set the size of the new image (which already has been suggested: should be around 150x400-500 the width being 500 and the height being 150… now if you plan on having images extend out of the sig (akin to many other sigs here at UF) then make the height larger then 150 around 350 or so should do it, even smaller if the image you plan on having extend out of the sig is smaller. When you first click new a parameters box will open set your desired size and mode (I typically choose RGB color for mode.. but don’t forget the last box “Contents†you want to choose transparent here otherwise you new project will began with either a color fill or a white background.. Click OK, you now have new blank transparent background canvas on which to begin your layers.. and layers is what it is all about. Open the Standard-Sig Template Sniper so graciously provided in Psd format.. if you right click on the image you will notice it is several layers for example the top box is a black background layer with a second orange layer on top the bottom portion is comprised of a bottom bar layer that includes some text overlaid layers.. Each and every layer can be individually chosen and styled (also images in psd format which contain layers can simply be dragged from one image to another and then arranged and/or free transformed as you wish) for example choose the background layer again by right clicking and choosing background now from the top nav bar click: Layers/Layer style/Blending Options.. a new style box will open which allows you to manipulate the layer chosen by a number of different ways.. each of which can also be individually chosen and tweek’d even more if you so desire. for example adding a Drop shadow from the Blending Options box will add a shadow to the selected layer once done you can go back to the tab Layers/Layer Style but this time choose Drop Shadow from the pull down tab and you will have a wide variety of additional options specifically for the Drop shadow.. this applies to any of the other blending options. There that should be plenty to get you started or else confuse the hell out of you so I’ll stop here.. As a final note… to add the fonts copy them from the folder you downloaded the media kit to. Be sure to open the fonts folder and select only the fonts themselves.. now go to C:/windows/fonts and open the fonts folder.. don’t try pasting the fonts to the folder from the folder view as many times that won’t work.. you need to open the fonts folder and paste them directly to within the open folder. That should do the trick and you should now be able to select both the Aurora CT and the Planet Kosmos fonts from within Photoshop. Hope this helps.. Quote

chris_pheonix7 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 heres a bunch i made for my clan but they pay me back by not even submitting them Quote
GOAT Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Sweep,,, you're getting closer!!! dude.. try saving as a .png instead of a .gif and see if that improves the shade and image quality.. p.s. those are nice... -Affliction- Quote
TOW-19 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Posted July 12, 2007 -Affliction- ]heres a bunch i made for my clan but they pay me back by not even submitting them They WOULD make nice submissions and, who knows, could be in the running. Sometimes a clan needs to learn to back one another, I suppose. Nothing easier in by opinion than just wearing a sig. LOL Quote
Guest KingJunk Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah Afflication them are BEAST I wish you would have made 1 for me or my clan and we or I would have worn them! Quote
