Is there any basic tutorials guys on how to create a sig?

FabienO · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:12

How do you guys get such good compression?

No1newts · 25 Jul 2010 at 15:52

Hey guys.

I'd really like a new sig but im not sure what to have in it. Basically a newt, or some other similar looking reptile and including my username but have no real idea of the overall design of it.

Anyone feeling creative and not mind giving it a random stab and see if they can come up with anything I like?

Sorry for being so vague, feeling rather indecisive today

There may be, but ive never bothered with them. Its just basic photoshop really. There are lots of tut's for Ps (which im guessing you know if you have googled) that cover the basics.

My tips would be:

Remember to scale correctly when reducing the size of an image (free transform + shift)

Simple is usualy best.

Choosing the right image.

Just play around, making sigs is what got me started with Ps

File>Save for web + devices. Select .jpg and adjust the quality to below 20kb.

No problems, it seems to have been compressed with loads of artifacts though?

How have you managed to make it blurry?

Better ?

Von Smallhausen · 25 Jul 2010 at 16:08

I saved it to my pictures, copied it to Photobucket then linked it here. Apart from that I haven't done anything to it. :confused:

Use this instead (change the '*' to a 'h') and save it as your sig as your current one is very blurry.

^TANK^ · 25 Jul 2010 at 16:15

Von thats a nice sig but the one you had before hand was much better imo, way more character!

I think Photobucket compresses them more, hence the added blurriness. I'd use Imageshack or Tinypic.

Used Tinypic link but still looks blurry as did pieplough's link.

Strange.
