Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[dracowolfie]

Ahhh, finally something to simply tell me how to have three columns. I've been half-heartedly looking for the answer for what feels like years, and here it is!
Thank you for putting this together! <3

I know I've been posting alot, but I'm a huge beginner ;;

How do you type next to the photo without it going down a line?

I'm sooo happy with my new signature! Any tips for making it better, though?

Maybe by adding borders? Or maybe pictures?
I don't really know 030

Would you please post the code so that I can see what you have?

Perhaps add in more pics (but smaller, of course) and definitely fix the bottom frame that's jutting out to the right. Beside that, looks good! Nice color scheme!

The mountains on the bottom are a nice touch =)

Oh, Pipsqueak99 helped me. It's all fine. But one more question, hopefully the last: What is the preferred height and width of a picture on a signature? Thanks ^^

[saka.]

The size of a signature total is

height = 400
width = about 700.

however, 400 makes a signature seem a tad bit stretched. I believe around 300 is okay? depends if it doesn't mess up a photo's quality

What P a n d i said about the total space you have in a signature is correct. If you're asking about each individual picture in general, I actually have a scientific answer for you. Fancy, right?

There are three main shapes that the human eye is drawn to. The first is a circle because it is infinitely symmetrical. The second is a square because it has multiple lines of symmetry.

The third is a Golden Ratio rectangle. Click here for pictures and a simple explanation.
Basically, if the width and height of your rectangle have a ratio of 1 to 1.62 (or 1.62 to 1), it will be the most pleasing to the human eye. Celebrities whose faces come close to this ratio tend to be considered more attractive, and paintings that meet this ratio get the same treatment.
The cool thing about a Golden Ratio rectangle is that if you draw a line through it that splits it into a perfect square and another rectangle, that new rectangle will still meet the golden ratio. You could split it and split it again infinitely and still get that golden ratio rectngle over and over, smaller and smaller. The Golden Ratio also appears in the spiral of sea shells, hurricanes, and other spiral patterns in nature. To see a visual of all this gobbledygook gook I'm throwing at you, click that link that I put toward the beginning of this post!
So, if you're trying to figure out what sort of rectangle people will find the most pleasing, the Golden Ratio is your best scientifically proven rectangle of choice!
