My first forum sig

Postby devlin on Sun Jul 09, 2006 4:28 am

It isn't a site, but I suppose it would fit nicely on a gallery page. I've learned to use GIMP a bit and my first project was to make my own sig for a BF2 clan I joined rather than humble myself and ask for one. Laughing I know I need to use a different render for my nick and the other text and I will probably make some of the text smaller, but what do you think so far? Image

PS: for some reason in windows firefox 1.5.0.4 (not sure about other versions) it displays with far to little red glow and the text is harder to read. However, when viewed on linux or on the actual forum I use it on, it appears much easier to read.

Everything is alright but I think that you had to use other colour for the text, because it is hard to read, even on conquare (you said on firefox is hard to read).So use another colour and maybe the signature will be perfect.Oh yeah, and why you use hero from Devil May Cry in BF2 sig. ? Try to use soldier or something like that. Good Luck.

Greetings!

The sig is good, but yeah, the text is sort of hard to read, almost have to read twice to get it... Like fixz said, try putting a soldier from BF2 on there, or just a general solder if possible, it sets the theme a bit better.

My Rating: 4/10
But for a first sig, I give it a 7.7/10

Yeah I was going to do the soldier thing but it seemed played out Laughing Plus I was looking at all my clan friends' sigs and came across 2 or 3 that had an anime character on it etc. as long as it looked serious and I thought the pistol-to-the-face and head-cocked-shotgun-pointed-at-you-bad-ass looks were pretty cool. Cool

True, the gun pointed at your face looks pretty cool but it gets old after a while. I haven't seen many sigs in a while so yeah, but I saw a really cool one on another forum that someone made, possibly one of the coolest sigs I've seen. I'll see if I can find it, although it was a while ago and the post probably isn't there anymore.

What is wrong:

Too dark.
Text is barely visible.
There is no border.
