    Now, if I saw someone walk into a bank with a large bag, my initial reaction would be 'watch & learn.' XD

    Pick a random word, and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

    Then, choose a new word and repeat.

    There's no real way to contact bttp, and even if there was, I'd probably avoid talking to him anyway. :/

    I just use his sig in this for example purposes only.

    Rewritten it Repliku:
    -------------------
    1. I want to make a sig, what program should I use?
    I’d recommend Photoshop. Don't want to buy it? Use GIMP instead.
    Get a trial of Photoshop here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/
    Get GIMP here: http://www.gimp.org/

    2. I have my program, how do I start?
    Firstly, you’ll need a render image.
    www.planetrenders.net is a good place to get some good ones (You’ll have to register first)
    A render is usually the cut out of a character from an anime or game.
    Renders can also be game sprites, people, cars, etc.

    Make sure you save it before you use it, as copying can lead to a huge black area around your render, which is unwanted and can sometimes make the render unusable.
    Open the render in the photo editing program you use instead, and just simply copy the whole thing.

    Remember you CAN use more than one render.

    When you’ve picked out a render, make a new file in Photoshop or GIMP. You can set the size to be whatever you want, but most sigs tend to be around 400 pixels wide & 110 pixels high

    3. What do I do now that I have my render?
    Renders are generally used to create a focus point for your sig.
    When you have your render play around with the positioning until you find a place where you think it works best.
    The positioning of your render plays a much bigger role than you might think.

    4. I’ve positioned my render, what now?
    You will want to start off with the background behind your render.
    Create a new layer, and move it ‘below’ your render.
    Now just chose a color that suit’s the render that you’ve chosen.

    For this, the creator chose orange, maybe due to Donald’s beak being orange or that pumpkins are orange, linking it to Halloween.

    5. It still looks kinda dull, what should I do?
    Well, most sigs have a background, middle ground and a foreground. (Foreground likely being your render)
    As you can see in the sig above, the creator used some curvy lines in the middle ground using a darker shade of orange to decorate it, and made it so it’s not so plain.
    Being able to use these effectively can help make a good sig.

    6. Anything else I should know?
    You’ll want to make sure your background, middle ground and foreground flow nicely together by using different depths.
    What do I mean by this?

    [​IMG]
    Firstly, look at the render. Now look at the large things to her immediate right and the left.
    Notice a difference? The render to the right is rather sharp, but the one to the left is blurry. This is called depth.
    By doing this, you can create a bigger focus on the main render rather than the effects. Remember, effects aren't the main component of the tag.
    Effects in a sig are used to give the render support to make it look good

    7. People say to make my sig “blend well.†What does this mean?
    Blending is so that the stock doesn't overly contrast the colors of the background, middle ground or foreground.
    What they’re basically saying is that you should make the render ‘blend’ into the background, but not so much that you lose your focal point

    Color and blending work together. You will want a color that supports your render, but not to the point where everything is one color and looks dull.

    [​IMG]
    If you take a look at this sig again, you can see that although the main color is a pastel yellow, it's not the only color. There's purple, some pink and blue.
    The bright yellow and dark blue contrast each other so that it looks nicer.
