[shamrock11]

Try to use more professional and classier fonts Otherwise good progress.

Not too bad.

You should start with doing some brushing tutorials.
Making nice brushwork is very hard and time consuming, but once you know how to use it well, you can make quality sigs.

I think if you set a default size for your signatures it would be good. Try 400x150.

Which program are you using? Paint? If you're used to that Paint Net's good, type that in on google, I used that for a month or two before moving up to GIMP, they're both free.

Also I agree with Dejan about the fonts. Dafont.com's got some beast fonts that you can add in.

In your Cesc pass master one try to either make the text smaller or just have less text. Perhaps have Fabregas 4 on the left hand side and Arsenal pass master on the right? Just a suggestion.

Okay if you're using GIMP try and download fonts and brushes.

Personally I forgot the process as I downloaded them ages ago and forgot how to do it can someone give me a tutorial on how to do it on GIMP?

Anyway also on GIMP download textures off the internet. Textures I mean cool computer animated pictures, for example type down fire in google images....... download what you like. I've built up about 100 textures in my time passing, and put them all into a folder.

Also collect renders or pictures of players, or do what RR's doing these days by just editing the picture, looks good especially if you get the brightness contrast right. Using the pen tool you can render players yourself........ but that's a different story.

I find if you get good images of stadiums (or the Emirates for that matter) it makes for a good background, or the Arsenal logo with a transparent background (try Wikipedia, they have PNG logos with a transparent background)

Otherwise just go with what feels right. Also following tutorials on the internet or youtube helps too. Found how to create a cool wind effect with text the other day.

what do you guys think especially anyone who does graphics i just done 1 i did earlier but i think this ones better

I like that one Sham, all I'd say about it is like someone said before; try out different style fonts and make them smaller and maybe do something like an outline [gold perhaps?] around RvP.

Otherwise you're coming along nicely.

See for that personally I use a thing called Alien Skin: Xenofex or something along those lines... It's a PlugIn for Paint Shop Pro/Photoshop.
