I deleted this example because I didn't like the way it looked. Sorry RD.

ML

Plain background with metal letters?

ML

I like those. Are they a good size though?

Yes, I took LOM's advice (I hope). The latest are 1.5 inches wide; RD's originals are 1.2.

Here are the same as above with gradient overlay on the background.

ML

New font (Wide Latin); Ramos suggested the blue background: might work with the other skins. Anyway, if all else fails, I'm learning how to use the layers feature in PS, something I've always wanted to do.

ML

to plain

agreed

We NEED plain. You don't want something that draws attention. It's just there to tell who is in mob and who's not. It should look good, but not distract you.

I'm certainly open to suggestions.

ML

Agreed. I tried some stuff and for that size...everything looks cluttered. It can still look good but its gonna have to be simple.

i sux...but what about something like this???

***LATE ENTRY***


Umm, i think you can figure out whose is who.

I VOTE FOR ANVILZ!!!!!!!OOOOONNNNEEEE1!!1

Anvils R t3h l337n3ss

NICE!

OK Anvil, so you want to be like Larry and stand up for the "Elite." That's pretty funny, but why your new name change? Did you change from that blue Nazi uniform too?

Actually, I wanted to ask LOM where those templates came from?

ML

They come from a program I use called Photo Impact Pro .I can make them any shape or size color.I can interchange them and also put backgrounds on them.
I have found out that ever program has its pros and cons so using them together sometimes gives you much better results.
I also use Paint Pro 8 .I have not found the time to use Photo Shop and maybe one day I will.I do have the program but right now the only thing it does that i really like are those Tech Borders but I am working on a few of them with the programs I am using already

That's good information. I will acquire a copy of Photo Impact Pro. The main programs I use are Corel Draw 11, Corel Photo-Paint 11, and Adobe Photoshop 7. I got them from work, so they were free.

ML

Ps 7 is the only program I use....

p.s. ML=PIRATE!!!!

Well, really it's not like that because they expect me to learn the software so I can take care of business. They also let me use the digital camera and the external CD burner. They pay me good money to do this, so it's all legal!

ML

Paint Shop, for all those people that want to know where i do my awesome work.

Sure...keep tellin yourself that.

LATEer entry:








I can make them in any color easily so if anyone thinks something looks better tell me.

Larry,

You're such a downer sometimes. I appreciate your advice, however. Last time I tried the rifle made me realize how much I love the '03 Springfield. I didn't have much success. I'll try it again though.

ML

sweeet shit saucy, you should make the letters a lil more visable (maybe whiter)
ps- werent the polls suppose to go up today?

-phats

i cannot do it but what about just a transparent thing like the name in the color (font style) the epacy has on his sig....3D like with a shadow behind it to look like it stands out? i dont have a good verison of psp of other prog to do that with.

What the hell does this mean?

Saucy, a white stroke or even light grey would help pull the text out.

Mona Lisa, read your liscence agreement and you will find out its a no no.....but then again I can't cast the first stone if you know what I mean

It's ok; it's all multi-license. Don't worry about ML. Really, my job requires that I take work home; therefore, I must have the software to work on the projects. You guys are funny! What about the voting?

ML

Better:

That's much better!

ML

Oh yea,

Evidently, Anvil changed his name to the above. I saw that name in the Daily Stats.

ML

who cares if someone bootlegs a program...you DL music right?
if anyone here has NEVER EVER broke a law post here....hell if you have not broke the law in the last 15 min post here....

Hmm don't know what happened to my entry:


....fixed...ignore this

Off topic, but that's a cool new look with your sigs. I see the Solidrocker border.

ML

NO MORE SUBMISSIONS........

VOTING COMING SOON....

STAY TUNED.....
