Well it looks like a cropped image with some text on the bottom.

I can't really say my sigs are a great example of what to do since they're practically the same thing as yours... I just took screenshots of Zoolander, but I also did do some work on most of them to make it more pleasing to me. So in a way, you could do the same.

Otherwise, look around at other peoples sigs here. See what they're like, then go around looking at tutorials. You won't be able to make good sigs in a night, it's going to take time and that leaves a lot of people out of breath and they quit. Don't.

As I was saying, one option is just to go around doing tutorials (actually doing them, even if it doesn't look like what you want your sig to look like) and you'll start understanding basic things about how photoshop works. After awhile you can start grasping how to do things and make what you have in your mind become a reality. Of course, creativity is a must in this situation and it happens to be something I... lack. Thus, I am forced to do things like my sigs, which I happen to like, so I'm not complaining.

Took a picture and cropped it. Impressive :roll: :P :wink:

Next time I suggest you make a sig in .png Format.

The answer of inspiration is simple...Play around in photoshop. 8)

I'm pretty sure you can't have text using the picture's background in MS Paint. I've tried.

But I agree with most, look up some tutorials.

So all those nights I spent crying over it were for naught?
Whenever I use the text tool, it creates its own background.
Meh, I got GIMP now :D

Do one sig each day, and you'll be fairly proficient within a month. :)
