NerfYoda Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I understand you're new to Photoshop, but those pictures kinds scream "I'm new to Photoshop". Use less filters and rely more on design. Concentrate on how your text and figure placement can have the best effect, while still making the text readable and the image clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 yeah i know, but i have no clue bout the design specs here. cuz i have no scanner i can't implement my own artwork. but i like simplicity.................simple is good. i'm not lookin to be the almighty badazz photoshop master ...................................................................................................................alright yeah i am. but mostly all i have to work with is pics i find. design on a comp is really unfamiliar to me.

NerfYoda Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Design it on paper 1st. Photoshop is supposed to be the last step. As for that pic you just posted.. its nice and simple, but the fancypants font makes the words hard to read (for me anyways ) Play with text size and placement.

MysticSpade Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 i get what you're saying but even if i design it on paper it wouldn't help me one bit to do it. cuz i have no scanner to scan it in and work with it. but i'm workin on a way to get around that cuz i would like to use my own artwork. also the font i used is degrassi. it's a font that looks like graffiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerfYoda Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Heheh no scanner required.. get form and layout on paper so you know what you're doing when you go into Photoshop and don't go all newbie filter crazy or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 i know what you meant, but i am completely ignorant when it comes to transfering a design from paper to photoshop.............i tried when i first got it. my hands aren't steady enuff to draw the pic in it. but hopefully i will be at my friends house this weekend. that way we can scan all my art book in and e-mail them to my account and start havin fun.

Ratmjedi Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 That's weird about you not being able to seemy Image Sig. Have you tried right clicking on it and selcecting Show Picture? I also was referring to PhotoShop 7. I just got it from a friend and didn't start using it till yesterday. I played with it yesterday and today I began work on my Image Sig. I finished it around 3. I also was learnining how to use my new GIF Animator as well but that was Monday. I got it down as you can see by my Avatar. I also just made some wallpaper for my computer with a bunch of pics of my g/f that I wanted to make as one. I spent about 2 hours freehanding but I have to say that the pics look very well. I guess I was paying attention in Graphic Design even though I just did the work and really didn't try to understand it. I like your work MysticSpade. The only thing that I want to know is how do I get that glare like you have on the guys sword. I mean were do you go to on the taskbar on the very top. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Thanks for any help and let's keep this thread alive cause it is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 BTW Ratmjedi, it could be that since the links are case sensitive, is there meant to be a capital R at the beginning of the name of the pic? Here's my EB Pic sig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticSpade Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 to get the lens flare like i have on the sword. go to the "Filter" option, then go down to "Render" and lens flare will be there. all you have to do from there is select where to place it and what type of flare ya want.

Pnut_Man Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Seeing those sigs brought to me memories of my first few weeks with photoshop... I don't feel like talking that much so i'll just leave some awesome tutorial sites: http://www.icehousedesigns.com/tutorials/photoshop/ http://www.bluesfear.com/main.htm http://www.wacom.com/tips/index.cfm?category=photoshop And of course, the most useful and sweetest of them all: http://wynd.teamanime2k.org/tutorial_lightsaber_p2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my EB Pic sig... Well it should work cause I all I did was hit Ctrl +C and Ctrl+ V. I am at school right now and it won't work here but I know it works cause I have seen it all the other sites and it worked there. leXX's don't even work here and so do other people's too. I am going to try to host at another one of my sites when I get home. Thanks for the help too MysticSpade I'll try it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
