First ever attempt at a sig...

[Esix Cordero]

Hey everybody. Some of you may know me by my screen name ekwfan6, or as Esix Cordero from POW. I've been fedding for a while and I have never made a sig of my own, until now. So please give me some tips/suggestions on how to improve this, because I have a feeling it sucks.

As someone that just started making sigs myself, I can tell you it doesn't suck at al. It's actually really good for a first attempt. My only critique, one I was given myself, would be to add a border of some kind to make it look slightly more professional. But otherwise, it looks great!

Thanks Kurt, here's the problem though... I go in to add the border (via select>modify>border) and I set the pixels (any recommendations on that too?) but instead of a nice border I get a moving dotted outline. I go to edit>fill but it's not selectable for some reason.

Using Photoshop?



The "marquee selection tool" has modifiers that let you select a circle...or a single pixel column/row. That can be using to select and color in a border

You can also make a new image 2 pixels wider/taller and color the BG the color of the deserved border, then paste the graphic into that

Thanks a lot for the help guys. Perhaps when I have more time I'll try one of the more complex sigs that some of you have. Maybe as practice I'll make some sigs for others.

Random thought: The sig looks a lot better scaled down than it did in the first post
