Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[stilinski]

I tried to make a silhouette image.
Is there anyway I can improve this?
Any criticism?
Or help?

Edit: I redid it.
Which one do you like better? I personally like this one more. c:
But I'd still like to hear some criticism so that I'm able to improve.

so, i'm working on this signature for a friend of mine, and i'm almost complete. though, i have a few questions. i want to make it the sort of signature that takes up all of the sig-space offered. what editions could be made OR is there anyway to align the entire sig in the centre of the provided space?

There are several ways of doing it.

If you want the sig to be wider, you can add left commanded columns of text

L
I
K
E

T
H
I
S
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
And
It
Can
Keep
Going
If
You
Wish
It,







or make the images wider.
If you want the sig as it is center aligned. You add this to the first part of the code:


Code: Select all

[color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color]


Of course, you can change the amount of x's there are in the code part here.
So you take this and put it at the front of the code. It will center align the whole thing.
Like so:


Code: Select all

[left][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/color][img]http://i.imgur.com/dam03fc.gif[/img][/left][left][center][size=75][color=#f9a58a]her dance was so light and happy[/color][/size]

Hi. I'm making a signature for someone in my shop (it's free ) and I have tried the clipping tool site, but when I try to save it, I have to sign up and then I tried Pixlr, then OIE, but I can't seem to get her alone transparent enough. Could someone please help?
