~ Cool Sigs Redux ~ (for babe/chick sigs)

**GBTG** · 10-11-2010, 05:23 PM

Yeah I typically spend 99% of my time working on the text in my sigs. It generally doesn't matter what subject matter you have; I mean anyone can slap some images together in PS. But nothing ruins a sig faster than quick one-off text that doesn't blend in or accentuate the overall composition. I like using different colors within the different parts of my text as well (eg. SOTW in white, 79 in a bold red, misc text in grey) it just adds a nice dynamic to it rather than having it all white. And imo working light into the text is almost crucial, so I just use clipping masks and white/black brushes to totally control the lighting. It's a lot more hands on than using any other light sources.

Making a good text is the hardest part of making a sig look good, often i just screw up a sig with putting on a text that's ugly

Excellent work Hel. I tried to do a basic tween last week but it all went wrong. Haven't had much practise at it i'm afraid.

don't know if you'll like it or not man, but it's something different...

It's excellent. And once again the text leaves me in wonder.

not sure which one is better

**Jammsbro** · 10-12-2010, 11:14 PM

I can't see the difference tbh. But it's ace.

That's one of the coolest sigs posted in a while. Excellent work and idea Esse!
