Buddha signature.. what do you guys think?

I wanted to go for something spiritual looking.. I was actually suprised at what I came up with, it is different from anything I have ever done before..

What do you guys think?

Re: Buddha signature.. what do you guys think?

The colors are a bit dull.. try making it dark with a Curves. If that doesn't work well enough, set it to overlay (and decrease the opacity & fill a bit)

The colors were meant to be that way.. A subtle look rather than bright and flashy.

Re: Buddha signature.. what do you guys think?

I thought the sig rules were text OR images, but not both.

What does that have anything to do with me asking an opinion on my graphic?

You can still go with that look and keep it nice and warm.
Here's a little touch, I do it to all of my signatures when I'm finished - just adding that extra little bit makes a big difference ^_^



I didn't want to affect it too much, you did a great job on it.
If you really want to get into lighting (I think it's the most important thing in a signature), get Photoshop LightRoom. It works wonders

Ahh... so thats how photoshoppers get their light so perfect everytime. Unfortunately for me, I use Paint Shop Pro 7, and I am pretty sure they don't have a tool like that.. But I will look.

Thanks for the tip.

(gasp)
Photoshop CS3 (Or even CS4 now) is a must!
Send me a private message if you want a copy :P

I've tried to learn photoshop but i'm just so accustomed to me paint shop pro 7.. I've been using it for about 7 years now I think.. I can do almost everything that you can do with the newer programs with my PSP7.. But I do want to learn photoshop, I just hate starting back from the beginning

Re: Buddha signature.. what do you guys think?

I say go for it. Photoshop/paintshop/GIMP are all super similar, just Photoshop is more advanced and has many many many more things you can do :P

You're right, I do need to.. I plan to go to school for graphic design and I guess it is better to have a leg up and at least somewhat know photoshop.. If you could PM me where to get a copy that would be awesome, thanks again +rep

Re: Buddha signature.. what do you guys think?

I like it. I remember when you made my Buddha sig a while ago (which I use on many different forums).
I like yours better though hehe
