*BUMP*

changed markup...thought it was [image]

Rage710: Welcome - I recommend, as you are new, that you pop in here:

Thoughts on the sig:

1. Its too high.

2. Its too wide.

3. Its colour's (well that silvery one) clash with the Asylum's colours - it has too much glare.

I like the texture and that is a nice font but it needs toning down a tad and it needs to blend in more.

I'll also move this to the sigs forum.

what are the sig requirements? i mean size

Rage710: There aren't any - that though (at 600 x 100px) is still to high and too wide

You might want to take a look at some of the inmates sigs to get an idea of the general size that tends not to unbalance things around here.

Where was that thread titled "What's in a sig?" that I started about a year ago....? I remember several dedicate asylum sig makers giving their 2 cents on how sig specs should be met.

Have a look around in this particular forum, get a feel for the asylum ambience. Maybe all your sig needs is a quick color change and border. Maybe you should make a new sig. But like Emps seaid, look around at the inmates sigs.

okay...ill make a sig about 50x200

It looks good, the background image, I mean, and the text, as Emps pointed out. It looks a bit bannerish though, and isn't very space conservative at this point. Is the BG image yours?

no...i took from wallpaper...im not good at photoshop...im just gettin the basics down right now.

Emperor: the thread is already in there. In fact, I made the FAQ page since I stumbled over it in the archives.

This page is really useful for some general guidelines. They are not nessecarily strict rules to abide by, but in general it's a very good idea to follow them.

If you're new to PS, there's a couple of good tutorials linked to the buttons on the bottom of this page.
