Signatures and Avatars

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 9:04 am

Ok I was wondering if anybody had references to making signatures and avatars? I really need help with that type of stuff and I would like to be independent when it comes to doing stuff like this. So it would be greatly appreciated if I could get some help regarding this. :nods:

I know half the factions are dead.

lol but I just use Photoshop, and lots of ppl use a freeware called GIMP I think to make graphic siggy/avvys.

For reference I think it's:
Siggy: 400x100 pxls
Avvy: 100x100 pxls

That's right isn't it?

well, the GDF has been ramping up in activity again, and there is still a good amount of advice to be gleaned from the old topics
yes, those sig/av limits are correct.

I just try to be as creative as HP PhotoImpression will allow me. Most of the time my stuff turns out "...ehhh...", but on a couple occasions I nail it.

Thanks. I can't take credit for my icon, though; someone else made it and I found it on LiveJournal. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember who made it. Of my homemade icons I haven't found one I like well enough to use here yet.

I'm very creative. I get other people to make mine

I don't change mine too often; I like to use my favorite book characters or topics. *cough* Maximum Ride *cough*

I always use Photobucket, Paint, and occasionally Gimp to make my sets. I never go that fancy though; I just use lots of pre-existing art.

I ought to change up my set...

I still don't know how to even put an image as a signature...

If you wanna get really basic you can use paint. find an image you like and crop it till it fits the size width.

and anna><> to get an image in your sig just put the tags with the url to the picture between them.
