Excellent use of blending.

Colors clash a bit

Border doesn't go well with the rest of the sig

Avatar doesn't match sig

 

Nice job for a beginner. My rating: 3/5

I agree with Levy on the border - since I'm not particularly good at graphics I won't try to give a rating though. :)

Well when you make a sig or avatar, the border shouldn't be the eye grabber. Like in my sig, Ulquiorra is the first thing your eyes goto. Then the words then you look at the background. You don't even notice the border, but the sig wouldn't look the same without it.

Very simple loss of a one pixel border and that's what we get. Let me show you another example:

Here's Revenge's with a border:

And without:

Revenge's is a better example because his has a double border, an outer one to define the edges and an inner on with a special mode option. You definitely notice a difference that you wouldn't have noticed in the one with the border. Borders are not meant to draw attention away from the sig itself, they are meant to define the edges of the image.

 

What graphics program do you use?

I'd say... dark brown border, or black..

 

Also, you might want to try to make your font looking smoother... Look at the anti-alias properties and select "crisp" should improve the look of your font. It should be set to "none" when you are using pixel fonts, that's all.

 

As for a rating, I'd agree with 3/5.

oh... i see... this is the first time making a sig so thanks for telling me that. so i guess ill make my border smaller for my next sig and take more time making it.

 

i use corel photohouse

 

i use

Ahh, if you used Photoshop I'd be able to give a quick tutorial on how I make my borders.

Posted

I'm not sure, maybe an hour and a half? I don't usually keep track of time.

Posted

well i always try to keep track of the graphics i make.

 

and... do you think an animated sig would be better than a regular one?

Posted

Possibly, depends on the quallity. I personally don't like it because it eats up bandwidth on my host, photobucket. But something quick, maybe under 100KB wouldn't hurt.

Posted

Well, if you feel like making something and you have the time, just go for it. :yes: Even if it doesn't turn out well, you will still learn a few new tricks on the way.

Posted

You learn from experience. My first sigs never turned out too well, now check um out. (Still not the best but certainly not the worst.)
