New Sig Request
 

Hey guys, It's time for a new sig:) Anyone up for the challenge?

I've selected 4 pic's in my Photo Bucket album but feel free to browse & see if there are any others that can inspire.

I'm open to suggestions and really would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance :)

Oh yea, no pressure! No rush!

Well, I have only done a few sigs so here's what I've got so far. I think the bow tie would look pretty cool if you could send me a picture pointing directly at the one you've got!

I find it really busy... just me though I don't know what to look at lol. I like the idea thugh.

What I would do, take a screen shot of the forum and copy the grey colour, the blue of the sky out for the forum gray. Make the flag somewhat transparent (75-80% opacity>right click on the layer, Blending options in photoshop).

I know exactly what you mean, I was looking at it after I finished and it looks very full and noisy. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of saving it as a .jpg instead of a Photoshop file so now I can't go back in and edit it. Ill probably mess around with it a bit later.

crap... I usually save as .psd AND .jpg or .png (depending, a .png will let you do transparent backgrounds)

I just started re-doing it in between my classes and I go the flag and earth bck in. I'll try and finish the rest after calculus because I'll be done for the day WAHOOO!!

Alright, so I fiddled with it some more and came up with this (and saved it as a .psd lol) let me know what you think!

Thanks guys. Looks good.

Hope foxxie's not copywrited the "upside down" Blazer! LOL

I prefer the 1st one. the second seems a bit dark. Both seem a bit busy though.

I am thinking of maybe incorporating the pic of the dash to highlight the RHD element of this strange looking truck. :) After all this is what makes my truck "special". Possibly move the Kiwi bird to the bottom right corner & fit the pic of the dash into the bowtie.

I really appreciate the help guys.

Alright, how does this look?

Looking better. Can you shrink the bowtie slightly & move it a bit further down to the left lower corner?

Sorry to mess you around mate.

Don't worry Ken, people like you are the reason we save the .psd files LMAO:icon_bike:

Thanks Pat & Andrew:)

Difficult conveying what I want when I don't quite know myself! LOL

Hey, no problem! Sorry it took a few days, I've been really busy, how's this? I'm afraid I may have shrunk the bow tie a little too much, just let me know!

Best one so far IMO

I agree! That's great Andrew.

Let's run with that. I like it lots.

Alright man, if you've got anymore changes in mind, don't hesitate to express them. I'd be more than happy to accommodate!

Thanks Andrew. Like you've got. Just right.

Thanks again.

Ok, here we go. I removed the earth and flipped the Blazer, and as you said, the kiwi needed to be moved. I also removed the inner and outer glow on the bow tie, IMO it looks better without it. Sorry again for taking so long!!!

Thanks Andrew. That's great! I wondered why you lost the Kiwi but found him hiding in the corner :) very clever move that! Thanks.
If you just move the truck up a smidgen it'll be perfect.

I wonder how many guys are gonna notice the Kiwi up there.

Yeah, no problem, I'll try and get it done right now

EDIT: Alright, here ya go, I added one more change that IMO opinion looks pretty good but if you don't want it like that, I can certainly change it back!

Yep that's great! Thanks mate, really appreciate it.

If you can pm the image to me, I'll get it up quick.

I can't seem to add it as an attachment in a PM. If you right click on the sig, you should be able to hit "save image as" and get it on your computer that way.

e-mail it if you can. [email protected]

Sent!

It's fun watching the progression of your PS skills with this lol. Nice job at making it pop from the background.

Thanks! I hope to keep messing around with it, but all I've got is CS2 lol! I may be getting CS5 soon though.
