Sigs? - Page 67

For the borders, i guess play with them, different things look better for diff situations, i dunno how you did the widescreen either way.

Holy analysis. I spent like two minutes thinking about my sig before I made it (also took like two minutes)

My thought process:

Background color: What would be a good background. Hmm, black is an awesome color. Lets make it black.
Main attraction: I like that image of the middle finger explosion. Lets put that way over to the left. Awesome.
Main attraction 2: Gotta be a gun. What kit do I like? Grenadier. Lets put a M16 w/ M203 in the center. (puts it there) Ooo, thats kinda bad. It blends in with the black. Lets put a border around it (tries a white boarder). Hmm, thats crap, Lets put a guarassion blur on that. That looks nice.
Name: I like dark red, and names look good in the lower left. (tries) that stands out too much. I'll blur that a bit.

Second draft: Eh, the middle finger might be considered offensive. What can I do.. hmm... Oh! Lets cover it up with the 15th logo. Thats what everyone else has in their sig in the wiki page.

Done.

that is exactly what i do.
mine is kinda like
Background - well, what movie am i trying to plug in my sig? let's put a screenshot from the movie!
Text- put title and where its at, mess around with glow and other stuffs
main attraction - blah! we don't need just 1! lets see how many we can stuff on there!
second draft - crap i just uploaded that as a PNG! *uploads jpeg and is done*

Yes the backround must have lines that flow together toward the focal point. So your sig has a single direction, usually pointing towars the main interest.

Take 3:

Take 4 (Added more Flow):

kind of sorta, it's more about determining the main direction the render is going...if you know what i mean...i'll draw it out.

Sonic · 07-19-2008, 01:40 AM

... Draw it out

How so?

**SamO** · 07-19-2008, 01:43 AM

this is the flow i'm getting from this guy. I would i make my c4d's go in this kind of direction.Your first attempt did this by accident i think, that one c4d made it curl up into the arm, and gave it a cool flow.

I'll do it on the sig i have right now so you see what i'm talkin about more.

Sonic · 07-19-2008, 01:48 AM

I see no curling in this one?

**SamO** · 07-19-2008, 01:48 AM

I didn't follow the flow on the right side exactly, but you can see that my C4d's are all going towards the flow.

@ your post...look at the critique i gave comparing the two images...i mapped it out with the "flow" line...check it again.

**SamO** · 07-19-2008, 01:52 AM

i missed one possible place to put your flow in the arm, that's all i changed.

brain21 · 07-19-2008, 07:12 PM

But, how did you figure out how the flow should go, based on the render?

**SamO** · 07-19-2008, 09:00 PM

yup, you hit it straight on the mark.

Sonic · 07-19-2008, 11:25 PM

... wasn't brain asking a question?
