Henceforth Master......No saki.......No Sig!
(unless miso soup is made with Saki!)

 

[kesume]

OK grasshopper you can have your saki! But not in the miso! No, no.
Not too much, you still have the final test?

Master...Is test open book, essay, or multiple choice?

 

[Joan Archer]

I'm sure whichever it is you'll pass Dennis.

 

[kesume]

I will have to meditate on that one grasshopper!

Hi I am new user, and see many very nice avatars/sigs especially in this thread. How do you learn to make them? I perhaps would want one in future but would like to learn more about them.

Keep up good work.

Hello Kara and welcome to the forums

I usually do whatever people want - e.g. what they like: cultures, cars, abstract etc.

Well you need some basic photoshop understanding and you learn the rest on the job, the Photoshop CS5 for Dummies book is quite good.

I use these quite a lot aswell 140+ High Quality Categorized Photoshop Text Effect Tutorials - tripwire magazine

Hope this is of use to you!

[Kara]

Thank you, Photoshop is best left to those who can understand it lol. If I decide, I will surely put a plea to you thank you!!

 

[tom982]

Haha, well you can try in paint I doubt it would have the same effect though

No problem If you ever need a sig just send me a message with what you want in it and I'll make you a few to choose from

There are free programs called gimp or paint.net
Most of us use Adobe or Corel(paid items) for our graphics software to make avatars or sigs.
When I joined Seven Forums a GFX member took me under his wing and taught me how.
You just have to download one of the above programs and experiment and ask questions as you go.
We will be here to help you.

[Kara]

Sweet, so nice finding this site and so many nice people. Will look up Gimp asap.

 

[richc46]

You will always be Welcome, come with questions, to learn or just have fun.

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Sweet, so nice finding this site and so many nice people. Will look up Gimp asap.

First things first...
Go to upper left corner and click on User CP/then to edit sig/
then toggle down to the bottom to get the size of the sig you can make.
see snip photo.

Then post back with those dimensions within the red circle.
As a new member the size will be smaller until you get more posts and reps.
We will take you step by step in making your own sig...or we will make one and show/tell you how we made it.
I didn't know squat about sig or avatars a year ago but it was addicting to me to learn how the graphics staff made them.
THW

 

[TomSawyer1977]

What software do you use, and is it free, because I would like to try make a sig formyself and an Avatar would would be nice....Rush Themed...LOL I LOVE THAT BAND

 

[The Howling Wolves]

I use Corel Draw Graphics Suite X5 but you can download free paint.net or gimp.
There is less expensive($100 or less) software like Adobe Elements or Corel PaintShop Photo ProX3.
So try the free ones first till you get the hang of it and if you get hooked like I did then you can purchase the more high powered ones listed above.
If you need any help I will be more than happy to give you some pointers or tutorials (that were made for me)!
THW

 

[TomSawyer1977]
