i tried this tutorial to make this signature

http://www.neofriends.net/graphics-and-art-tutorials-f43/making-stylish-signatures-1-t10429.html

i don't like it so i would like to hear some points how it can be improved.

o no what have you done,now he looks like the *** from twilight

looks a lot like thhe one muncay made , i guess it's the same tut
MAJOR improvement , now do the same bg and depth tech on other sigs =3

okay <3

i still don't like the way i did the text so im getting a few new fonts for later.
and i probertly was the same tutorial because i used the same render as the creator.

O.O
never do that to your txt lol

uhm it's not the font
don't emboss and shit
check anti's txt tut x__O

yeah when i look back at the result it sucks,

i edited it

[szabolcs]

here is my second signature, this one is made faster then the previous one and i used another build to get to the result. i also tried new things so that could have messed it up.

i still like the result but thats my opinion




Edit: Forgot border





Improvements?

good job i like it 

[mo9]

uhm
no D:
listen don't use the layer options thingy

make a new layer then go to image > apply image
put that layer over your txt
clipping mask and move it around

Well..

• You want some kind of direction, flow or meaning in your sigs. atm I see everything placed everywhere with text that has been bombarded with styles.


• You need to be a lot simpler; when you start you're not gonna be doing a lot of complicated stuff. Sometimes, less is more which would definitely apply here.


• What I would recommend is start over completely. Forget what you've done so far and look up some tutorials. You can keep the PS knowledge but forget this style.


• Also, outer glow around the render and pretty much everything else on the canvas is not in. If something looks bad, don't add more, think of what you can change or take away because the outer glow on the render doesn't help in any way.
  


• Text can also use a lot of work. If you want it to stand out, I wouldn't  go ahead and add all of these things. Be simple and do what mo said.


• last but not least, you might want to mess around with opacity. Stuff like the stoke on the text can be turned down since it's so vibrant
  

There's my input.

i don't get it >_>

when i have it like this you can barrely see it


@antisickness

for which signature does it count or is it for all?
because i didn't used the outerglow for my 3rd signature, i just followed the tutorial without using any styles. (exept for the text)

that's the whole point. you're using colours extracted from the signature to compliment the image. Also, use a different font, man. This doesn't suit it.

Did I make the text tut for nothing? ._.

also @ before, i was talking about the yellow one cause that's the one i could see at the time

[Xx Itz Ian]

now im confused.
so im not suppose to use colours used in the signature?
and i will try another font


@scythe

that was part of tutorial i did it to experiment. but i can't remove it because i had to merge all the layers. (and i don't know if i can turn that back ._.)
