To Kristofski: I was rating yours, but complaining about Silenther and Mikey. Those 2 should know better.
To Bloodfest: I meant that your sig looks as if the opacity was turned down. It's the fact that your sig's colors are brownish, which appears very dull against the brown forums of TW. It doesn't catch your eyes at all. My sig is actually very eye-catching and the background is clear and sharp.
To Kristofski and Bloodfest:
My sig is the way it is for a number of reasons. When someone looks at a good sig they don't first notice the background and then the text; they only see an awesome sig. When I look at your 2 sigs I see a background, then I see the text. It's 2 separate things in the same box, just one plastered over the other. The end result of a good sig is to combine the text into the sig, to make it seen as 1 overall body; to be seen as incomplete if one or the other was removed. My sig is of a destroyed city and to have clear text would not make sense. It is supposed to be faded, and I sacrifice clarity for artistic logic. When people look at my sig they see one picture. Recall WFA's old sig, the one where it was purple with the eye and the text. That sig was amazing; the text was completely part of the picture. That is what all sig makers try to do.
For example, what would one think if they went to the opera and this occured: Majestic music began to play slowly. The room vibrated with the cellos, the flutes played with your ears, and the trumpets lifted your soul. The emotions rose up to a point where the room was captivated, the audience smitten by the mixture of beauty and love all encased by the lovely sounds caressing their faces. A man strolls to the middle of the stage, perfectly in pace with the music, stops, gazes out across the subdued audience, raises the microphone to his lips and shouts, "HI, My name is? What? My name is? What? My name is? What? CHICKA-CHICKA-SLIM SHADY."
Sigs are meant to be one picture, and I feel that mine is just that.
Anyways,
JVincent:
Av: 10 OUTTA 10
Sig: 4/10 You can see where the pictures are a bit distorted at places, and a random compilation of pictures thrown around with plain colors and a horrible text color make for a bad sig. Much potential, but this one didn't come out quite right. Try, try again. Practice makes perfect and if you made this sig I think you have much to learn, but are starting off well.
