Color? What's with black and white now-a-days. We went from Black and White to Tube TV's then we went to Plasma and LCD 720p and got to 1080p and go back to black and white. Black and white, to me is just a lazy excuse to make something look good and pop up. Maybe I am just taking my frustration out on you just because you are the convenient one here in front of me, but honestly, use ------ing colors. . . ? Like the theme etc, just COLORIZE MY VIEW OF IT.
Here is why I used b/w on this specific tag: See how this tag has a lot of plain for negative space? Now with color that would all be a solid color like all blue instead of all white. That would suck because it would be monotone. But when I use black and white I don't have to worry about the negative space making it seem too mono because there are only two colors in the tag, black and white (and the shades between). And since I needed negative space to make the wall-like appearance and the skyish look on the left, I went with b/w because if I used colors it would look mono and suck. Well that and the fact that some of the stocks I used were b/w and I don't want to recolor it. Also I use textures a lot and they pop out better on b/w sigs than color because of the contrast of textures which are dark, almost blackish and in this case it is on a white, light bg which provides enough contrast between the colors to catch your eye rather then a colored tag.
Yeah, I got you plain and clear bro, and bravo, you have an explination whereas these other people DO NOT. Just keep up the good work and understand I just needed to let off some steam, not particularly at you. Sorry. Also, I do like the signature. Not your best by any means though, and I DO still prefer color.
the left side i like and towards the center as it has a good effect then you get to the right side and its missing something.. maybe a vector image or something idk
