Preserved Topic: Just want to try out my sig... What do you think? (Page 1 of 1)

I was foolin around and made this. I know it is pretty simplistic but I like simplistic things. Too much confusion... well, confuses me! <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Any comments?

Well its actually a very nice idea. I like the colors and everything. However, I think you should make the sig a little longer and the text about twice the size that it already is.

Just testing colours...I like the design, layout, and idea though.

Or the original with transparency


--------------------


Hmm I'd say go with orange, or your original green, but definitely with transparency...the black box makes it seem..well...boxey <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Of course that's just my annoying opinion.....hehe

Yeah, wow the orange looks nice and yeah go with the transparentcy ....

sheeeesh, DG and his annoying opinions! <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">


....of course, he's right though <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

wow...so helpful, DG...

<suddenthought>

Good god, I hope people don't start editing my sig..or anyone elses for that matter... The sheer terror of it all!!!

</suddenthought>

<newidea>

Again, perhaps my head is crammed securely into my ass, but wouldn't it actually be kinda neat for other folk to put together sigs of other folk? Hhmm...

</newidea>

~gets forceps for twitch's head~

I needed to see krets' siggy without the box, so I could see if it was the box that was bugging me, or the colour etc.

It was the box <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Doing other people's sigs? Think toes might get stepped on, though I think if we did like Sig exchange month it might be fun. Draw a name, do that person's sig. Neat <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

While on the topic of signatures...I'm bored, and chuckling over how derivative a couple became lately....so in the spirit....

hrm... as much as i like the idea of doing other people's sigs, especially if peter ended up doing mine, i shudder at the thought of twitch randomly pulling mine...

<img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

cheers.mikey.milker

Dark Garden - I'm warnin' you - I'm not gonna buy a bigger monitor just 'cause you and avatar seem to be in a competition to see who can stuff the biggest graphic on the board!

Now if avatar got to designing sigs for other people, &^twitch^& could probably see 'em where his head is now
:g

Steve:
You realize of course that I take that as a challenge....heh

Oh it's only like 400 wide..that's nada..it wouldn't even have the horizontal-scrollbar-of-death© on an 800x600 res....

~grumblewhinergrumble~

<img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

I still say a random drawing for a one month signature would be a bit of fun. Of course Wes would draw my name, and I'd end up with some creepy fruit thing daring people to feel my orange....

hehehehe

As for twitch, leave his head alone, it's an astronomical wonder... I mean how many people can say that their head has been circled by Uranus.

~cough~

(shakes head somberly. a single tear runs down his already wetted cheek)

I love you guys.

Wow, you can still shake your head with it up there? Does it tickle when you do??? <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

sure I'm game for a random drawing <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

This one's just for Steve...


And yes, I will pull it off here soon for the slow modem folks, I know 65K is unfair.

DG:
<< I mean how many people can say that their head has been circled by Uranus>>

uh, wouldn't that be "their anus"? Unless you postulate the twich has his head up -- mine --?
~cough indeed~
Hmmm - that would explain that pesky blockage ......

Anyhow, can we surmise from the expolsive rash of new sigs by DG recently that he finds too much time on his hands AND a new toy? Something in the line of wire-frame? Verrrry cool.

Wes - if DG is all prickly about oranges, think you could manage a kumquat?



[This message has been edited by Steve (edited 06-09-2000).]

DG what are you using for the wire-frames? I really like the effect but I have no idea how to achieve it.

thanks



Walking the Earth like Kane

Free the Kumquat! I like it....!


>blend blend blend<

Maybe I should consider a sort of fruit of the month kind of thing...

Ya know, I hear kaopectate can help that. Though I can't be sure, when I used to do observations, I don't recall anyone having an "embedded twitch"......nonetheless.....

No new toy....old toys. I've been using the same method for quick wireframes for a while, that I think "Weadah" also mentioned elsewhere. Rhino model, with a layover frame, selected and exported as an Illustrator document. Open it up in PS, and that's all she wrote.

The other toy of course is just PS...which I used for most of the two signatures. In the first, one torus ring, and a sphere are Rhino paths, the rest is PS (all the text, the fading "skin" of the text, the interaction of the wireframes, the linking of the torus rings etc. etc.) The second sig was just a slap together to bug Steve <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> (beams with pride) So the cog is a rhino wireframe (with a few added lines and polygons in PS) with some easy text treatments over it done in PS.

Simple simple simple things.

As far as time on my hands...~eyes an encroaching deadline~ good thing they didn't take too long <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

And stated for the record.....Wes is scaring me. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/eek.gif">

it's nice to know that my head being embedded in someone elses ass is of particular interest to you folks.

(wipes another tear off his already wet cheek)

I love you guys. (sniff)

Off topic? What was the topic? It wasn't astromony? It wasn't squeezy oranges? It wan't tickly &^twitches^%??

Lord have mercy. DG :"when I used to do observations" - do you figure what you do now is a move up or not?

<img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

At least I've finally figured out where you learned to say "This will cause that scattered spatter pattern" with a straight face!!! Been wondering 'bout that.

Hate to rise to a bully's level, but couldn't help myself. Had to make a new sig in self-defense!

An irridescent ball floating over torn looseleaf, proclaiming that I and my fellow bastards shouldn't get you down...

I LOVE IT!!

Nice pearlescent effects...very schmoooth.


As for the question...does artistic freedom, and the ability to breathe outside a microscope beat a projected, combined, 13 years of med school with specialization, and internship....?

I don't often wonder if I made the right choice.

<mutter>who knew he spent 13 years learning to read latin?</mutter>

<stifled??>how did twitch's cheek get pre-moistened</stifled??>

<blunt??>So who's clothing is Sal Paradise wearing</blunt??>

Sal's in Dean's clothes...I think Dean's naked in the Hudson...I try not to ask.

Referencing twitch's cranial/anal retention was running a bit dry...pre moistened cheek was added for literary continuation. It's deus ex machina. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

hehe

Now, what the hell was this thread about again? Oh yeah, krets' signature.

too boxey.

wow.....I have absolutely nothing to add to this conversation. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about that <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

maybe if i hadn't just gone on that smoke break right before reading this thread, it could have made a little more sense... er, rather any sense at all.

*sigh*

cheers.mikey.milker

...damn, I forgot what a kumquat looks like...

So ....

Lets try this one...


Broken promises don't bother me. I just think, "Why did they believe me in the first place?" --Jack Handey

Make the background color have red green and blue values of 48, 4, and 4. That way it will blend in almost perfectly with the forum background, and most likely look better.

aahhh... now that all these .sigs are out of my cache, it takes a minute to load the frickin' topic.

er, make the signature smaller.. too big. still doesn't blend in with the background either. but others have already explained how to do that i think. yeehaw!

cheers.mikey.milker

Talking about sigs...how do you define the transparent colour in a .gif image? i know I have to go to 'Save For Web', but what do I do from there?

As you can see from my sig...I can't quite get it.




Don't make me come down there! - God

skaarjj --

I don't have 5.5, so I don't have the "save for web" option....but if you convert to indexed color, then go to file >> export >> gif, then you just pick the color(s) to be transparent from the pallet or directly from the image


Ask for opinions At Your Own Risk!

Yeah Skarjj it's easier to do it the way DL-44 said to do it:

pre-moisten your cheek and harsh the cranial subroutine and glaze the PRAM via the export GIF89 thingamajig then siphon the color from the snapshot onto the pallet....then choose adaptive dither diffusion 255 colors and you can decide whether to interlace it or not -->

the end

Woo hoo! My first topic that caught fire. Suh weet.
