i agree with everything you said that sig that you posted looks like a shrunken abstract wallpaper and some small ass text though
And this makes us better how? Your just ranting that everyone copies each other and slaps sigs together...
wow one week i gotta try what you did man! youre not pissing me right? you did go from that in one week right? nice advice tho
This is what I've been trying to get across to everyone. The words Originality and Innovation arn't practised enough. You've warranted my respect, Whether you want it or not.
This is trying to help people with sense..a sig is not a DL'ed brush pack slapped on a canvas with a render... A sig Is using creative and personal Ideas to create a SIGNATURE. Often the word is forgotten when designing small peices. It is Your Signature, what people will see, what you want people to remember. Of course, often do we change it, but that still does not negate the word and idea behind it. On G24, he didn't rip. he duplicated a few parts of an image, says he did it, and the site even provides the image to help practice..
Then don't go to the experts. I'm a fairly good designer and I'd help anyone, just PM me or MSN me, IDC. My doors are open if I'm on.
yeah it's true, i got my first brushes/tuts about a month after i got photoshop(i used to cropp everything myself too), i learned most of the stuff myself, now i just look at some tuts and take 1 maybe 2 steps out of it and play with it. ohh and i got photoshop for 2 months now (you can call me a noob if you want, i don't give a ----)
You can talk to g24. He classed one of my threads on nsl. I'm glad some of you crasp this thread, and saw the reasoning behind it. --brian
Using tut is a good way to strat but what i do is take things i never did before out of that tut and add it to things i already do....i hardly ever use the whole tut in a sig.
Someone else told everyone that and I believed what he said. Same goes for you too. Umm... does making your own text count too? I don't know how to make brushes and texts. >.< So we find out ourselves how to do them too?
In all honesty its easier to learn defaults than it is to make custom bushes....and just use default fonts unless you need a specaial one...the only artist I know that pulls off DLed fonts great is Flipn0tic...and he uses grunge fonts...
No, its called actual skill and it makes you a lot better as a designer. Its not stupid, get your own work and stop using others. <_<
