I'm going to beat Sebur to posting this:



My Project 0.7 :P Now it is your turn Seburs!

I also made this video since I love Kara no Kyoukai so much -- Oblivious. Has translated text and few nice features from Adobe implemented.

Now all I need is a fitting quote for my sig.

Also, the reason the original sig was wide is because of this:

Tweak the sig, filesize is too big, Kyrdua. And if you think I didn't do anything in Burningstar's case. I'm waiting...

I knew nothing of the outside world. I was just a frog in a well.

tweak the filesize? kay. The "Kyrdua" in it is rather off anyway. and no, I wasn't saying his sig's violation was ignored. I was just pointing it out.

Whipped this up really quick :3
TBH I was just trying to experiment with different border styles etc. I know this style doesn't fit Azu-nyan at all ;)

don't like the diagonal lines, they make the image look lower quality. The text and background are decent, keep it up!

Hmm. Add bluish boarders (similar to the ones inside). Play around with both texts, use stroke > inside > gradient (choose colors) and play around with blend mode. It wouldn't hurt to add one or two elements in the background (and away from the main picture).

Btw I am leaving tomorrow to another state so I'm gonna hurry up and finish a new set I'm working on (I'm so lazy right now...)

Okay I forgot to quote this one. Resize your banner to something smaller. Usually the smaller the banner the better you can go with different colors for higher quality (PNG > JPG as always). My default banner sizes are always 500 x 80 since they are always between 88 to 98 KBs file sizes, I can go all out on them as well. If I adjust the height then I have to make the width smaller so I don't go over. In Sebur-like banner case, mine is around 135-137 KBs so I have to make a smaller size banner for that one.

Forgot to add one last thing ... KILL the shadows. Shadows always make a sig, banner or avatar look ugly. You can use shadows inside, but whenever you use them outside just know your increasing your file size and making it look ... yuck.

have to agree about the lines. You can keep them on the blue thing not on the girl part
and what with these squares in the corner?

w00t, followed what you said. and the filesize dropped drastically!(yeah, i find that amazing, lol)


also, I am quite aware that the "Kyrdua" at the bottom looks out of place, but i like it that way. and about the shadows, I never knew that.

If there are any options you want to use in Blending Options, I will suggest only 3 and "only" 3. Outter Glow, Inner Glow and Stroke. Go back to Blending Options and uncheck the other boxes because it's making your sig look a bit ugly. Also, here's a nice trick to start with. Grab your "brush" tool, do about .. 6 layers, paint each other with a different style brush (different types) then once your done, go back to Blend Mode and do Stroke > Inner > and increase the size and then do "Gradient" color and pick a matching color (don't touch the rainbow ones) and blend mode it. Do the same for the other layers you painted and watch the magic flow ... Easiest thing to start with.

The font at the bottom, might wanna make it a bit more visible. Either cut a bit more from the edges to make it stand out (only around it) or punch it harder (duplicate layers, use blending options and blend mode).

Thanks for the advice, but i like the sig that way. I'll save that for a future project though.
