Hey everyone, long time no see :D
For some reason i've had a huge urge to make sigs again.
So i've been making about a sig a day and i'm trying to be as good as i used to be, but kinda failing.
I need some tips and advice from some of you veteran sig makers lol :P

(i know the text is wierd...i was going for something unique and MENT FOR IT TO BE IN THE WRONG ORDER)

(this one reminded me of the grunginess of the old comic books and the graffitti found in the ghetto, thus the name Grunge Ghetto)

1. Gorgeous. I like how smooth everything is, along with the subtle colours you used. The render and background literally melt into each other and that "heavenly" look is really fitting. :) The text isn't a good colour though. Making text isn't always easy though, but one thing I live by is that your text should always stand out, but fit in. Sometimes that's hard to do, but I think you should change the colour to something that has a little more pop.
2. I would've liked to see a sharper background with maybe some sparks and such, but this one isn't bad. I love the yellow and purple colouring as well. The only thing that bothers me is the over simplicity of the text. A different font colour might be better too.
3. I thought of comic books too when I looked at this! It actually reminds me of the comic art of Matt Camp (he uses more subtle colours though). Again, the text bugs me. I think a different non-techy style should be used.

I think you should add a 2px border to your signatures. The outer border can be black (for use on white forums), but the inner one should be non-black. What I do is: I make my outer borders black, for said reason. Then, I create a new layer. I make the inner border either white (or some other light colour that matches), then set the layer style to Overlay or whatever looks nice. This gives the signature more versatility.

Great job on them all though. They're all very unique and show that you can do multiple types of styles.

I really like the text placement in the first two, though the text is a bit hard to read on the first one. The emptiness of the first one kinda bothers me, too, and the last one has too much contrast imo.

Ok thanks guys. I really appreciate the comments :D
It helped a lot. I understand what you're both getting at. And yeah, text has always been one of my greater weaknesses. :roll:
