BANNER REQUESTS ARCHIVE 12/02/11 - 08/04/13

I'm not seeing much manipulation to begin with. Color changing is a good tool, but it doesn't offer much to making the image "yours"

have you tried using fractals and C4ds? they'll add zazz and style to any image, and will give you effects.


I say all this only seeing two images. Please submit more as soon as possible, and do the test images so we can tell what level you are at.

I've been on GIMP for about 6 months now, so if you have any questions I should be able to help.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, I literally just started last night, so im still learning to program, playing with it. So any help would be nice.

I need help with the layering and how to do so.

Any advice will help!

What you will want to do is go to www.brushesdownload.com or www.deviantart.com or anyother website and download some brushes!!
Then google or search Deviantart for light effects and save some different images
Last search for some C4D and get a good collection of those, I know I have a C4D pack in the resource section in the design area!!!
Build up you arsnol and when you go to design, you can throw in some different effects and C4Ds, add in some brushes and you are off to a good start!!!


Do you have Skype??

 

[Guest]

Hey yooper unfortunately we cant change the text on the banner plus it needs to be the new size.

Would you like a similar theme?

 

[Jupiter]

Unfortunately only the person who designed it can redo that banner, So we can try to do something similar.

try to stick with 1 focal, if you use too many, your sig can look cluttered. Have you downloaded gimp? if so i can try to find some tutorials for you

 

[XGC ZomB]

these were done on the gimp 2.6 program. im not sure what else to put in my backgrounds im not real big on the abstract colors and things i see in most XDC made sigs so im not really sure what i shoul be looking for. i have 4 sigs posted on here that ive done with GIMP what advice do you have on those?

 

[Jupiter]

some of your sigs are lacking depth mostly you want the focal to stand out the most but also blend nicely with the rest of the sig. try some of these tutorials just to try some different techniques

XGC ZomB, Thank you for your application!

I like your progress thus far. I believe you have great potential. Your first couple of GIMP signatures are impressive seeing as though you are new to design and the program. As Radio said, GIMP can be a bit tricky at first. But you've got yourself a wonderful head-start.

Please remember to keep up with the weekly test images. It will help us gauge your progress and help you learn new techniques of the trade.

Sakura has provided some excellent GIMP tutorials, definitely try those. You might also want to try this one too. Link. I think it really fits the style that i've seen from you thus far.

Keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing more of your progress. =)
