How do you make a sig?

[JAKE911]

If anybody could post up a guide and then tell me how to put it up on this site then I would really appreciate it!

[TK]

yes i would like a guide how to make them and gamercards, plus how how to get it up on this site

[Tykain]

Well you need to learn how to use photoshop (Or something similar) then it's all about creativity, not something you can learn in a guide. There are thousands tutorials on the net for photoshop.

[TK]

just some basic tips would be nice, i dont even know how to make a simple one

[Richie]

The best advice I can give you is look around on the internet. Search forum sig tutorials and you'll get loads. Just play around with it and you'll soon be making stuff you're happy with.

Getting up on the site, once you've saved your image, go to your usercp, click edit signature, and either upload to this site, OR if you've uploaded your image to a site like imageshack.us or photoshop.com, just copy and paste the BBCode into the sig box and click Preview or Save. It looks something like something .

[JAKE911]

Rich, your the best! But what gamercards? Or should I ask DV?

[Richie]

Gamercards are the same, just make the image. Post it in te forum, and if we like it we'll make it into a gamercard. If you use an application like photoshop, keep the raw file with layers etc as it makes it easier for us to convert.

Couldn't find any guides online. I'm trying by taking an image off the web, putting my name on it and then looking for stuff to do with it in Photoshop. Is this basically it?

[TK]

so for gamercards i just make a sig with trophy icons on and u guys convert it to gamercard

[JAKE911]

That is probably easier said than done, TK.

probably

It's pretty much that, TK. Make a space for items like trophies, avvie, trophy break-downs, PSN ID, and others like level #, and level progress bar.

Then give it to us, and we'll convert it (well, Dunny will, he's The Converter). But, remember, we don't have a lot of time, and Dunny's busy at Uni, so we might not be able to do it straight away. Also note, that it will be made public on the site for everyone to use. ;)

[TK]

cheers TC, i will try to make a good one once fallenangel gets new laptop.

[theColster123]

Cool. BTW, the admins are tough on which they will convert. I made 2 designs, and both got turned down. :( Oh well. :P

[JAKE911]

What designs? ;)

[TK]

yeah can u post ur designs please TC

[JAKE911]

Please! :P

[theColster123]

They're not fantastic, as I did them both in like 2 seconds, but here's my gamercard designs. If I did a proper one, it would look much better than these 2:

I hate the white border on the R2 one, that was deffo a mistake on my behalf. :S

[JAKE911]

There not that bad colster. Much better than what I could do ;) For the Resistance 2 gamercard, I'd suggest trying again with The Leviathan sticking out from the side and changing the border to black. I'd use it ;)

[TK]

their not that bad, now i have an idea what they will turn down so i'll def have to up my game,
