The gradient you used earlier was better. The little playing around with filiters just made your text incredibly hard to see. Go to http://www.good-tutorials.com and learn some methods there, then when you are good with the tutorials enough to make up your own methods, you will be golden. Don't be afraid to explore Text effects as well ;)

It still sucks. The background sucks. The 3 pictures are retarded, and have nothing in common, other than being video games. The background sucks. The text looks like a Paint job. Did I mention the background sucks. The font is ugly. The font color is even uglier. The background is shit. Can't read where it says "created by." The background is crap.

Don't give up...thats just what we do to new people here ;) Look at Beer $lut and N_ and see how good they are right now, and we probebly did even worse to them.



That was the 14th sig I ever made (oldest sig I still have ATM)

If you noticed, I have gotten a lot better...that was made back in November of last year. Just give yourself some time and keep at it, you will get it I promise.

Just compress your images a bit more. You just might not want to have your stuff rated for a while, but keep practicing. You shouldn't pay that much attention to someone who has "Total Newbie" in their member title anyway ;)

Save it as a jpg...then it will give a slider on quality, and it will show you how big the image is going to be (That number is always smaller than what it really is...)

When you put the images in try to stay on one theme like a sonic theme whatever.

^ Told ya ;) I don't believe elements is any different when it comes to compression =\ I believe it just lacks the filters.

or u could always crop your sig size by using the rectangle marque tool and making a box around the area you want to keep, then crop it. I dont know if you can do that in elements, I never heard/tried it. But I am not trying to discourage you. I will tell you one of my fav tuts. Go to www.good-tutorials.com and the search thing in the upper right corner, search for "Electric Metal" and follow that tut. Then after the tut is done, there is a bonus that you can do called "Crazy Electric". I think it looks rather cool but thats just me.
