Cool Signature/Avatar Tutorial!

This will be a short guide on how to make yourself a nice avatar/signature picture!

The Basics!
Requirments:
*Paint or any other computer programs IE: Adobe Illustrator
*Imagination

First off we are going to start by opening Paint:
(Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint)
Now I wouldn't suggest painting anything in paint because its a very bad drawing device. We are simply using this because it's easy.
No resize your imagine so it is about the size you want your image.
(Drag corners)
Go to your enternet provider and go to google images. Search whatever you want. When you have found one or more images you like copy+paste them into paint.
Set it up the way you want it. If your going to add cool text wait until you read the next part because it involves incorporating more advanced text.

Editing your picture:
Now Google picnik its a powerful editing device that is easy to use. Hit upload a picture and selete the picture you created from paint. You can start by hitting auto-fix which will get rid of big pixalations from the google images pictures. From there on out you can start editting your image to make it look very cool.

This is a guide anyone can use for those people who don't have good GFX/Computer design skills.

Thanks I needed this.. I was trying to use paint to draw a signature xD

Aha! No Problem and yeah that wouldn't be the be way to do it.
Check out some of my more advanced paint+Picnik work in the GFK/Siggy section of the forums.

Nice.

Thanks

Yeah i'll admit this isn't the greatest guide but its a good way for new players or people who are bad at web design (ME) to create a good avatar.

Yeah, it is a very good tutorial, and some of us just arn't skilled in thinking.. much xD

Yes, use tinypic to upload a picture of your siggy, then go back to your Profile, select Signature, then post in the field what your signature will be.

Pros, do you happen to do signatures?

Kind of. im not an expert.

I use GIMP for my picture manip, however I haven't used it in so long i've forgotten how to select an image and remove the background :/

Noobish I know. Butoh well.

Whats GIMP?

GIMP FTW Lmao..

GIMP Is an image manipulation program, like photoshop, but much better.

I would try this guide but I'll fail it big time so it's best if I didn't attempt this.

TBH, I thought i was hard, I don't know how asking ale did his so good lol.
