Hello, and welcome to SOTW #14! This weeks theme is Typography.
Rules
- There will be a theme each week, and your signature must match the theme - Whether or not your signature matches will be decided by the hosts.
- You may only enter one signature per week.
- You may not reveal who made a signature.
- You must use your own work - Breaking this rule will result in a 4 week ban from SOTW.
- You may not use a signature created before the competition for that week has started.
- You may not have your name on the signature, or anything that could show you created it. Save the psd, and add it later.
- In order to enter your signature, send a Private Message to all hosts (iwasbobo, antisickness, hawk5005, mo9, Jeffalo13) containing the created signature.
"Jeffalo13", "iwasbobo", "hawk5005", "mo9", "antisickness"
All entries must be sent in by the end of Friday (139 hours). Remember, this thread may also be used to suggest themes for next week's competition. Good luck to all!
This one may be a bit tricky to those who are new to the concept. Just to help you guys out, here are some examples:

Fk i suck at typography but i will still do it.
Wait is typography like the one that muncay made.
Double post edit
So a typography sig is a signature that uses text as the focal?
That is correct, spiderstar. Refer to the examples.
@peace: Which one?

Yeah, I guess you could say that's typography.
Heck, I'ma start entering these SOTW.
I can't do much with typo but I'll make a simple but eye pleasing one. ;D

Heck, go for it. I mean, the more the merrier amirite? ;D
Btw guys next week will be freestyle. Just a heads up.
Is there a size limit? Cause I might make one ridiculously tiny or big.
Hullo
Hmm, a sig with text as main focal... I'll pass. xD
i'm in

It has to be considered a sig. No large pieces or avatars.
Also hi yoshi join pls :) mete join pls :) it would be great if everyone attended sotw
I'm doing this week 8)
But text is the thing I fail at most and this is all about text. D:
Remember your first sotw? You thought you were crap but you ended up first in a bunch of entries.
Do a little magic this time aswell :o ps. Tutorials aren't banned lol
Basically anything will do if its just text right?

Mainly text, yes.
Beware, it's judged by us so if you send it in on the last day and you find out that we won't accept it, you're in trouble 8D
I don't like anything I make anymore
I switched over from GIMP to PS to start making nice quality sigs, I'm not sure I like the one I sent you.
Can I get used to PS and send you one later if I do make one better than that?

It will be discussed between the hosts however, it's doubtful that your request passes.
If not, there's always next week
@nos: it's well worth the effort :)

Or just typography in general. Tutorial doesn't have to be in a signature format; recreate it into one.
Btw guys I think you should get rid of the "give a reason for voting" rule. Some people vote for a sig simply cause they like it.

You can always give an explanation for why you like it?

The explanation for your vote is that you like it.
You can use it in each case, that's why explaining is superfluous.
