the amount of weird mental images I got reading that is quite intriguing.

Finally made this new Banner, it took me so long, I spent like an hour on the text, but still no results.




Im looking at it again, and I think I killed it with the text .

[Emiliano]

How long really is "so long"? That doesn't even look time consuming.

[nbalive744]

Like 2 Half and Hour Days. This one took me about 40 minutes.

[Colin]

40 minutes, but it looks so much better. I say scrap the 'Philly' text on the right and your stupid pixel text at the bottom and it's actually...good. Just get some mroe contrast going. And try using a photo filter adjustment layer to give Andre a little more blue. Probably one of the "cooling" pre-sets at about 20%.

That banner though...'the M in media'? That is the worst tagline I've ever heard. And you let the background very blue, while bringing out the reds in the players. Bad contrast.

[Axel]

The cut on Iguodala was good, but there isnt much contrast or anything to the sig. It's pretty one dimensional.

[zmac]

Background is very nice, and the Andre Iguodala text works good too. But the actual AI pic, Philly text, and your name text = .

[nbalive744]

I don't really like the text, even though it took a while.

[3th]

ur better than before i dont know i like it

[Ruff Ryder]

Still looks like a gamerenders background. It's also very repetitive too.

I see you found your new favorite font too. Still alot of empty space in it.

[Axel]

You know you don't get an award for having the most sigs

That's actually a pretty good sig man, just a couple tips.
- Scrap the small white text in the right corner.
- Apply some effects to the picture, maybe a simple one like Duplicate, Overlay/Screen will do (and put the Kobe layer above the border-layer).
- Make a Hue/Saturation layer (on the pic only) at like 50% opacity with the same yellow-ish color (so "Colorize" on).
- Give the big stripes/boxes in the background some opacity differences.

Sounds like a lot of changes, like I'm looking real hard to find something wrong in there, but I'm not cause this sig is pretty good and the changes I suggested are done quickly.

[nbalive744]

Thanks CK, I did most of the stuff for V2, it was a request so I couldn't scrap the name, I tried changing it to black, so I could try to blend it a little more:

[nbalive744]

Thanks guys, im getting lots of requests from another forum, so expect a lot more sigs to be posted.

Josh Smith:

[Jing]

not bad. but still you've got like the same effect behind each image, same background.... its not as exciting anymore

[J@3]

Not a big fan of the Kobe one at all, the Josh Smith one is a bit beter.

[Ruff Ryder]

Your sigs seem to lack depth in my opinion. And it seems you re-use the same designs over and over. Like the Josh Smith one has a similar background to the Kobe and Iguodala one, not to mention the same text.

I know, i believe that was said ages ago by myself and several others....


Just make a ton of layers for your background. Ten layers of brushes is not uncommon for me in my sigs. Just find a bunch of brushes you like and mix them together till you get a nice result. And try not to make them so white, it bleaches out the skin tones of the players.

New:

[WL_Sniper]

thats a great sig after a long time

[Ruff Ryder]

Gettin better, the text is actually tolerable. It would help if you used a pic/cut that hadn't already been used 148,803,023 times.

[Jing]

agreed. i actually enjoy the text, and the effect it has, casue it actually works with the background, but i think a more action picture would be better, it seems a bit plain.
