Title: Help on Signatures
Post by: Khaydra on April 15, 2002, 05:18:00 am

I\'m new to this place, but have been looking at the site for a couple of weeks now.  
  -My question is where are some good places to find images for your signature?  I\'ve been to a few places, but I can\'t get the name for just the image.  Please help.

Hey kyalin, you can go to yoursighost.com and reopen your account. Yoursighost is still active, but they had lost all the information in what i think was a change of servers.

people people, leave him alone, he wants to make his own sig..
ok, first u need a good picture to put in your sig.
a good image search engine is this :
http://Images.google.com
or go to
http://www.av.com
and click on images.
Alta Vista is good, since u can take off the \"photos\" images when u search, when u click on advanced search since they are no good for your sig (usualy).

after you got your perfect image, and played around with it in photoshop or whatever till you have your sig,
go to
http://www.yoursighost.com
and host your siggy there.
go to your profile in this forum, put in the link to your siggy and WALLA!

good luck =/

BTW :
if you dont have photoshop, you can download the latests version (v. 7) here:

http://ftp://dld.pchome.net/design/image/photoshop70beta.zip
Serial: 104500046950054210895992

or, if you\'re REAL good, work with maya:

Thanks for the sites Nu Sham.  It really helps me out a lot.  Just as soon as I download photoshop (which will take a very long time), I\'ll get to work on my sig, and you\'ll all be able to see it. :]

well sure, ofcurse, no problem, any time =)

if u\'re too lazy to start (much like i was), i recommand you do this..
go to google and type photoshop tutorials..
then they show a picture of what u can do and exactly how to do it. . .
 its so cool , and u start thinking omg i can really do that.. and then you do, and then you keep doing it and do more and more until you becoem a maniac like me (lol) and make sigs for the whole forum

good luck, and if u have photoshop questions ask away
