I need help from you artistic VOLS with my sig

[Chat_Town VOL]

I made this sig but I feel like there is something lacking. It just feels unfinished to me. Can someone give me some pointers or take it and add to it? Thanks.

you might want to make it a tad smaller and wider. Cut off the area below the bottom text, and above the top text.

 

[Chat_Town VOL]

Yeah I thought about that but I don't want to cut out the players holding him up but it can stand to be trimmed down, I agree.

I don't know the sig requirements around here, but if its within the realm, I say go for it. Nice picture anyway.

Here's a quick hint that will make a world of difference.

Click on the text layer. Go to layer styles/outer glow.

Change the color to black and layer style to multiply.

Also try doing a 3 px stroke on the entire image, white, set on overlay.

Good idea. Be sure to make the glow color white though. By default it is a pale yellow.

I'd probably make the canvas wider, put the picture on the right side of the canvas, and put the text on the left. I'd put either black or an enlarged bw section of part of the picture as the background for the left side.

I like it. Do you mind if I save it to my pictures?

Black. As I stated. Not white.

Aren't you using Photoshop?

 

[Chat_Town VOL]

No, I used paint and microsoft word.

thanks. :thumbsup:

:bad: Can't help you then. Probably the best you're going to do. I could work on it if you want.

 

[Chat_Town VOL]

Feel free to make it the best it can be, If you want to that is.

Gotcha- I thought you were suggesting changing the text color to black and was a little confused. Then I thought it might look cool with some white glow around it.

 

[volgolferarch]

Can you post the picture itself without the text already on it? That would make things much easier.

 

[Chat_Town VOL]

Ask and ye shall..........ah you know the rest.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Here's what I'm talking about:

 

[Chat_Town VOL]

Nice, thanks man.

Have you tried having Fulmer in color and everything else b/w. His face and hands in black and white with the hat/coat in color feels wrong to me.

If you tried it and it didn't work, ignore the suggestion (or ignore the suggestion anyway )

 

[Sabanocchio]

The image was already desaturated when he found it. I haven't seen the original yet.
