jlrit Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 So I haven't fiddled with any graphics programs in about five years. I got bored last week, and found Paint.NET. I figured I'd hit up a whole bunch of tutorials to figure this program out and get the "creative juices" warmed up and away from the consistency of molasses. Here is my first piece of work in five years for my UPS employee forum. Gimme some CC. And god do I miss phpBB forums. IPB is getting old.

Goonfella Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Firstly- Hi there welcome to the forums As for the sig, it`s nice except the border intrudes too much. Maybe you could reduce the opacity or just make it smaller. I always think aircraft coming at you at an angle rather than flying away look better as well. I noticed you said you were doing tutorials. Before you post any I suggest you have a read of the rules.Just some friendly advice. :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlrit Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks. I did think that I needed to darken the border a little bit. As for the plane, I wanted the logo on the tail, and that was the best picture I could find. I'm not writing any tutorials. I went to the tut forum and made that sig out of a mix of them, just so I could learn the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sorry , I misunderstood :oops: Keep at it and enjoy the program :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atypicalcarl Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think it's a heck of a sig. I could nitpick, but it wouldn't improve the effect much. Nice flow, nice lines, great job on the text.

PyroTechniques Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If you call that a "noob" sig, I can't imagine what your idea of an expert sig would be... Great work! I love how it's simple yet elegant. The background matches the color scheme nicely - great job on the text, as well. Did that come from jake2k's "New and Improved 3D Text Tut", by any chance?

Thanks for all of the comments! Yes, it did come from that tut. I definitely liked how he did that tut. He didn't explain how to use things exactly, such as the curves menu. I almost got frustrated with it, until I had a "duh" moment. Allowed me to learn other possible uses for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2k Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Your text came out very nice, I'm happy to see that my tut is still being used . And sorry that it is a little difficult to understand it's just that I've always been better at making art then writing things haha Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
