Need help making sigs

S0uthp4w · 04-05-2009, 05:18 AM

Hai I'm new to making fiesta sigs (mostly because the sigs I'm used to making are a different kind than the different styles I see here).
My first piece of work is down below as my current signature.

It is just to get my foot into the door, so go as easy or as harsh as you wish. Trust me i can take any kind of criticism you have (both good and bad).

You can rate, comment, and hate, but I would MUCH appreciate any kind of help you have for me. xD

Thanks to all who have looked at and/or replied to!

Lates,
S0uthp4w

Hmmm.. I guess one thing to make sure you do when your making signatures is that you change up the quality of the pictures to make it fit together. Pop colors up, make it brighter, make it darker, etc.

Uh... hope that helped? XD

Just one thing for now - it's better to save your file as a .PNG, rather than .JPG. .JPG files usually loses some quality fromt he original.

Don't use too many fonts in one piece. Keep it down to 2 at most so it's not all over the place.

In terms of composition it's usually more... 'appealing' if you do not put the main image right smack in the middle like a bull's eye. But that's dependent on the image you use. Play around with scale as well. It's not always a bad thing to zoom in and crop out a piece.

Text has ALWAYS been one of the toughest parts for me. So thanks for the input!
I usually, if not always, put the render in the center, so putting it somewhere else could help me get a better look...I have played around with scale but i usually don't crop the image, so that's another thing i can start to work with.

Thanks for the help!

Its been proven that the thing in the center of an image is less appealing to the eye, and that it is best to put most important elements 1/3 away from any edge of the frame.

Adding a color to act as a border always make the words stand out.
