Re: Signature discussion

Please spare us all and dont post a sig that is bigger than anything you will type. The only thing worse than a wall of text is a sig that requires "PgDn" to get past.

Remember the key design rule. Less is more.

Thank you.

Re: Signature discussion

if you're just talking I agree. If you're talking to me, this thread isn't about just signatures, it's about techniques to *make* signatures.

Re: Signature discussion

I agree with the "less is more" approach to sigs. Especially in light of some that I've seen out there. But for this thread (as Feba said) image size isn't really an issue since it's not about the finished product (at least not right away).

Care to share?

Heh. So many people have asked.[CODE]//TASKMAGE.PHP//

<?php
header('Content-type: image/jpg');

$sig=rand(1,100);

if($sig<15){
readfile('http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/Taskmage42/sigs/sigred.jpg');
}
else if($sig0)
{
readfile('http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/Taskmage42/sigs/sigblu.jpg');
}
else
{
readfile('http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/Taskmage42/sigs/sigsam.jpg');
}
?> [/CODE]I cut out most of the if-thens but you get the idea. Really simple but I didn't know php could be used in that way, being treated as an image if it returns only an image.

Re: Signature discussion

New, thin avatar. I didn't want to put it in a box, but there's just no way around it with a crop that close. The little design I did with the border that makes it look interesting in both light and dark modes makes me feel better about it though. I think I'll keep this one for a while.

Now to find a new title. Veteran Newbie got old.

Re: Signature discussion

I like it, in light mode. Haven't checked it in dark yet.

Re: Signature discussion

Taskmage, I like the sigs, they all look tarulicious.

I'm gonna try something like what your doing too (someday...)

But the good ol' (sexualy ambigious) drawing of Cecil works for now :D

[Feba]

Re: Signature discussion

oh.


you should go back and make that clearer. Like, more outline, more red.

[ValisOfValefor]

Re: Signature discussion

Ok, ill try that later.

(Damn now I gotta learn how to use the gimp better)

[Taskmage]

Re: Signature discussion

Hmm, not a bad idea. I'll play with it a little and see if I can do anything good.

Double Post Edited:
Oh, wait. Who was he talking to?

[Feba]

Re: Signature discussion

I was talking to Task.


Valis, your sig is fine as is, although i'd recommend using a 1-2px black border. Simple, but REALLY adds to the way it looks.

My sig, big props to my dog and my pastor for giving me the uber quote!

/Edit: is my pic in sig not showing up?

Awesome is subjective. But if you're happy with it, kudos.
