Howdy all, as anyone can tell I enjoy making sigs myself, however, from what I have seen my talent may be a few steps behind so I was wondering if anyone had any tips.

Tips about photo bordering would be greatly appreciated as thats something I am lacking on.

Do you mean simply adding a border to a signature? If so then I normally just use the automatic feature in PSP7, although I actually make my graphics in a free downloaded piece of software called Photoplus. Alternatively, no matter what program you use, you could just create another layer and spend ages doing it pixel by pixel! ^^

What program do you use? A lot of what I use in mine are brushes. :-p They can be downloaded from lots of other places, depending on what program you use.

I use Microsoft PictureIt! And it has plenty of border options and ways to make them, but for some reason I just don't have an eye for it. Is it probably a good idea to add the border more early on and not at the end where by that point its too late?

I always do it pretty early. before I add text anyway. And you can always move it and stuff if you have layers. I dunno how that program works. :-p But yeah. I like your latest one, it's borderiffic.

Why thank you, lol, it was the only one I thought turned out alright.



Also to note, this 75 word min in out-o'character is a pain.

Wel I am glad you agree, however, I am the last person to disagree with Kailith. You know your awesome boss! Anywho, thanks for the help people, but I suppose I should return to my Cobra (as in GI Joe) sprites, cause with sprite art I am considered semi-talented. Oh well, lol.
