Images in signatures (banners?)

Archeron

Hey all,
I dont know exactly what they're called, but a lot of the boardies have rather funky pictures in their signatures that look like they're custom made. I've been hit by a bout of jealousy, and I would like to design one for meself as well. Could anybody tell where you get these, or they just done in various art packages and imported into the signature?

thanks.

Are you talking about the userbars (like boards.ie user, last.fm user, etc?) I could make you up something if you wish.

If you post in this thread:

You can request someone to make one for you.

If you want to have a go yourself... then you'll have to learn how use Photoshop or a somthing similiar to do a good one.

Thanks Ruu and monkeyfudge. The piccies like you both have are the type of thing I have in mind. I though maybe there was a website or something where you could make these up. (i think thats called naivity:rolleyes: )
Sure I'll play around with a graphics package and see if I can make one myself. I suppose I better get my washing up liquid bottle and toilet roll tubes out!!

Cheers again dudes.

You'd be surprised at the amount of work that might have to go into one.

For instance my current one was based on this photo:



But there wasn't enough room to fit in the text where I wanted it, so I had to use photoshop to build onto the fireplace.
