With all the Brushes/Renders you can find nowadays, 90% of the work is done for you already.
So, To give you all a Refresher Course in Graphics, I devised a little Competition:
Here are the Rules:
1. 450x150 in size,
2. Non-Vertical
3. Made EXCLUSIVELY by using the tools/renderers/generators built-in to your GFx Program (Photoshop, GIMP, PaintShopPro, whatever.). That means no Outside Resources (No Stock Photos, No Renders, No Brushes, No Pre-Made backgrounds, etc.) You can use custom fonts, but that's all.
4. The Text in your Signature must be It's Title, so no mottoes or names.
5. NO FOLLOWING TUTORIALS!!!
The Winner doesn't get any prize, sorry. I'm hoping that people will enter for the sheer challenge. I see a lot of Distinguished-Looking signatures around here, and I thought it would be pretty fun to see what GFx Pros like Chrono, Standoff, Enigma, and Jaded can do when they try to get by on the Bare Minimum.
Have Fun!!
