Ok so i recently as of today started messing with signatures. I just want your opinion on how it looks and any opinions on what i should do to make it look better or to improve my work period.

Its a bit blurry , for the Wolfenstein logo i would suggest to make it smaller , and choose other colors afterall , the most important , the player name , should somewhat be the first noticable thing , but its like the name is "hiding" in the picture , if you know what i mean

I would suggest reading tutorials, they help me a lot when i first started and now i am pretty decent at making sigs i just haven't been making many lately.

First you should learn on how to blend the images and text into the BG.

What software are you using?

That was made using Gimp. It was my very first attempt at making a sig . So i expected it to not be so great.

 

Ok so i made a 2nd attempt and this is what i came up with......... How about this one?

Getting better. Impressive for a first day. I would recommend looking at youtube vids of how to do lightsaber effects and 3D text in Gimp. The reason for this is that they will both teach you a fair amount about special layering effects. Once you learn these you can apply what you learned and let your creativity loose and start creating some of your own impressive effects. Also look at some of the tutorials on making fire effects in GIMP. This will help you learn how simple tools in GIMP can be used in a more creative manner if you have the patience. Sorry for not posting links to certain vids but all vids on this subject no matter how bad the end effect can be useful when mixed with ideas from other tutorials.
