careful though, looks like you're describing the car's engine... some car nut is gonna run you off the road, so to speak.

otherwise, i like it. nice and simple. one day i'll update my sig, but i've had it for near on 5 years, sorta sentimental to me

and on purpose, too

btw, no car nut will know what kind of engine is in that car since it's a movie prop that doesn't actually have an engine to begin with

I love the 8-series Beemer - great car, horrible gas guzzler. IIRC it was the 850 though, no? Or is it a new model I haven't heard of yet?

here's my first attempt for you

ok, i think i'm done. if you got the .png files replace them with the .jpg ones, since the .pngs are >10k.

phantomdragonz · Dec 22, 2004, 09:57 PM

ok, I have to know how you all make this stuff... do you have a basic psd that has it all or what? I want to learn how...

TEACH ME.... please???

i use fireworks.
1. create a new 200x50px document.
2. create a 200x50 rectangle, no fill, only border (1px black).
3. create a 198x48 rectangle, no fill, only border (1px white opacity 50%).
4. drag an image into the document window, move it around to your liking, resize it, etc.
5. play around with text (size font drop shadows, etc)

switch to the preview window and make it a .jpg and alter the quality to make it <10k, if the .png is >10k.

yeah, my bad. seems the 860i is a printer from a company names pixus. who knew? anyway, keep up the great work. and if you get bored enough, this Rickey939 creation is getting a little worn.

... cars, printers, it's all the same anyway. I'll probably have some time for Photoshop dabbling over the holidays - let's hear some info as to what you have in mind for your sig and I'll give it a shot.

Looks too much likes Lancers'. Same genre. Try something new.

ROFL ... yeppers, as soon as people begin paying me my regular hourly fee, I'll be whipping out a full-blown creative strategy, conceptual approach plus implementation. Until then, whatever comes to mind within the first 5-10 mins. will have to suffice ...

Wdlove, your eternal optimism has really brightened my day each time I read your posts. Keep up the great attitude, and happy holidays.

DBursey · Dec 23, 2004, 05:41 PM

My mistake. I thought the title read pet sig request.

My new sig affirms my belief that all animals should be free to marry as they see fit.

Probably too big, eh?

storer · Dec 23, 2004, 05:54 PM

yo' sig, is 2 big.

Lancer409 · Dec 24, 2004, 04:05 AM

lol ... effgee made my current siggie too. he's good with cars =)

those were from mandolux.com - you should ask for permission before using them. probably not necessary but the polite thing to do nonetheless.
