PHOTOSHOP, put them HERE
#3146
I don't know if we're just allowed to post requests or whatever, but I thought I would post a few of the sig pics I've done for my local car club in Oklahoma. (OKGMP) I'm curious what you guys on a nationwide board think about them.
I take a LOT longer to make mine because I'm still getting the hang of the finer skillz of Photoshop CS3. What I'm trying to work on now is uploading new fonts to make the sig pic look a lot better. Those fonts below are lame.

But I'd like to know what you think about the sig pics. I could use some constructive criticism.

thanks man, its undergoing some appearance changes as soon as its warm enough...cme is already on, valance in coming in any day now, has some black with polished lip zo6 motorsports on it now, all side markers and turn signals are going to be blacked out, taillights blacked out, headlights will either be either black halos or whistler mod, might be doin some stripes like manta or anniversary style ones...

thanks. I'd say an average of 2 hours each. Because I did them for friends on my local board and gave them at least 5-8 options for them to choose from and let them change things up that they didn't like. And I always erased the background around the car because I never knew what the lasso tool could do. I have to start messing around with that.
Any critiques?

i dont really see to much that you could do better ... i've done a ton of sigs for people back on my mustang board (when i still had a stang) and i dont really know too many tricks except that layers are your friend with photoshop...and i am by no means an expert but i have pulled some pretty sick sigs...i like to cut the cars out first and any other main objects first and then start throwin it all around with different transparencies and backgrounds and stuff...come spring time im going to finish my appearance mods and whip up a nice sig or two...if i get some free time i'll start working on some of these requests on here cuz i've noticed this is basically a place to put requests and never get any results...

Well, I look forward to seeing those sigs.
If you look back just a few pages, you'll see that there were about 4 guys doing the sigs and the main 2 have been doing them for the past 100 pages or so. I spent 3 days going over each post in this HUGE thread getting ideas and downloading backgrounds and such. (yes, I'm a dork) I hope those 2 guys come back and work on some more because I know that I will never be able to do what they do. I'm getting better, but I can't quite do those color changes or wheel chops yet. Not sure how they do those!

yeah i've done that stuff before but im not sure im doing it the right way but it works...the worst for me is adding stripes and making it shine right and not look 2D...i think this thread needs to get cleaned up or a new one needs to get started cuz 158 pages is nuts...there should be a whole section, not just one thread...it should be 1 thread per request...thats how it was at my other board and it worked very very well...much better than this setup

BTW, I don't know if PS CS4 is compatible with Vista or not, but I think it is.
