How to make a stylish professional forum signature in Adobe Photoshop - Tutorial - PART 2

[guitarman04578]

what text did you use?

[nzbsnowman]

Like your style but just a couple of things to pick up on..

When doing the border it would have been simpler to just add a stroke to the bg image in blend options and also when saving out use save optimised for web then choose .png format. ;)

After you put your sig onto Flickr how do you turn it into URL format or whatever so you can actually use it in a forum

[notjm]

very nice and helpful tutorial! =) can i ask, what file do you save it as if u still want the transparent background there?

[Skipper242424]

@notjm .Png should work, and it's supported by most forums and online galleries for uploading!

Hi, I was following your tutorial but for some reason when I try to use the paint brush effect it wont do anything, do you have any idea why? I just started using photoshop so still a newbie

[Skipper242424]

@blsky7 Ummm I'll need a bit more info than that ;)

Hey i'm happy with my Sig but i save'd it as a PSd but when i try to save it as a .PNG or any other img file it won't let me. Help?

[Skipper242424]

@Colonialman456 I assume you receive some sort of error when trying to save? If you explain your problem I'll do my best to help.

[Colonialman456]

@Skipper242424 lol, never mind i fixed it and thanks a lot man my sig looks pretty nice for using Photoshop only 5 TIMES! But since my Sig is kinda 3D-ish what if i want to cut off the empty white parts on top of it?

[Skipper242424]

@Colonialman456 Well it depends how you have your layers set up. Most of the time if you select the layer with the white box and then select the magic wand tool just click and delete.

Also make sure you save the final one as a .png or similar format supported by your forum that also has transparency.

@Colonialman456 Press Ctrl - Shift - Alt and S

[thamaster789]

@Colonialman456 Open the file with Pictureviewer, then press "copy" then paste it in paint and save it.

Dude your amazing. TY Soch. Sub

example of what a pro sig looks... deviantart and search for pro sigs

[Colonialman456]

@kokumosu shut up 

[kokumosu]

@Colonialman456 i find this more exhilarating than an offensive command

[kokumosu]

...... this is not pro material :[

all that is done is a stock image placed and a render placed thats slightly blended. basically it,

professional sigs have stocks, renders, pentool, c4d,lighting effects, sparkle effects, etc

[Aveen011]

What was the name of the font u used?

[Skipper242424]

@Aveen011 I think it was 'Tagzs Xtreme' , search it on 'dafont dot com' I can't post a link because it wont let me.

[Aveen011]

@Skipper242424 Okay thanks

[cobzy69]

Cheers man. Best tut I've seen in a while. I will try to link you to the sig I made with this Tut. I went off the same basic design.

[Skipper242424]

@cobzy69 Thanks, I look forward to seeing it. Remember when linking in comments you have to write it with '.' as 'dot'

[cobzy69]

@Skipper242424 Omg I full forgot to link you to my sig. Ive made a few more since then.

[Inthu90]

OMG!! you are awsome!!!!! the signature is PERFECT!!

[ldc62]

Great vid!

[TheGoldenGames]

Good Tutorial but you stutter a lot lol. Don't worry about it :)

[modding4funX]

will i know me n you only just started talking and all but awesome tutorial and you should make another one !!! :P

[SuperKaneFan]

nice :D

[wizardinho]

really helped me thanks!

[SASScout]

Hey, I like the outcome of the signature, but I've never really made a signature like these. (Pop-out) I was wondering, do you think these look better, or just a regular forum signature?

[Skipper242424]

Thanks, I like these better, the 'popout' works really well on virtually any colour background of forum skin. As not too many people use this style it makes yours stand out more.

1st!

[Skipper242424]

If that's so great then (Y)
