Now taking.

Like last time, I will be making both banners and giving out advice.
Here are some examples of my work. Don't be afraid to ask, we were all new to graphics at some time. Also, use my work for at least 2 weeks.

sorry not to request but what do you use for sigs

I'm guessing Adobe Photoshop 7.0.

yeah i thought so. thats what im getting.

That's right, I'm a pure Photoshop 7.0 user.

Sorry, not a request from me, but I must say that I really like your style. You have lots of nice effects in there, but the stuff is also somewhat simple. It's somewhat interesting.

By the way, you ripped the effect in your current sig from good-tutorials, didn't you?

Ripped? No. Made by following a tutorial? Yes.

Plus, I don't use good-tutorials. I found this at the Impact Group.
Tutorials are the only way to get better.

heh... sorry not to request again but that sig is kinda what i want to do. kinda.

Say what, little guy?

"little guy"? meet my sword (which is a 48' ninja blade)!! anyway, i mean your sig, how its got neo stopping the bullets. i said i want to do something like that. only ME, not you. actually im almost finished. just gotta add the background...

Just experiment, you can do it and if you're really desperate, just PM me.


BTW THIS THREAD IS NOW FOR ADVICE ONLY. NO REQUESTS.

well, i know how to make the background i want, and ive erased the background of the pic im using, but i dunno how to do the 1+1. can ya help? i was going to PM like you said but this is a help thread now, so... any way i cant find a tutorial!! please help. nothing i try works...

Here's a good trick: Set the BG(Background) as black. Just use the bucket for that. Now insert any image you want, I'm supposing a Neo screen. Now, put on the Matrix code pic. Make sure it's big enough to cover the whole banner. Make it bigger if you have to. After that's done, just experiment with the modes; Overlay, Vivid Light...

EDIT: Don't change the Neo screenshot modes, you have to do it to the Matrix Code pic.

There, that should help.

ermm... if anything youve made me more confused... :confused:

20-30 minutes. Depends on how motivated I am.

Edit: e_alert, PM me and I'll show you how on AIM.

I've only used tutorials for the very basic stuff, like making patterns, what certain effects do, etc. That's it. Then again, my signatures aren't as effect-heavy as other peoples', so I'm not too sure about my "true" skill level. It's not that I can't do all the crazy stuff, just that I'm not as much of a fan of it. Slowly moving over to more complex stuff, though...
