[Signature Help] Adding text

Post by Sjo3rd »

Hi guys, I just made a new signature! 8)
Spoiler!

I really like it, except the text. :roll: :cry:
I noticed that I suck at adding text into my signatures, could anyone give me hints or anything that will help me with my problem?

New one, hopefully better?

Use stock fonts, keep the text close to the focal and dont make too flashy.

Well probably the best advice I can give you is that adding text for the sake of adding text usually doesn't work out well. You end up with something that looks forced especially when it's added at the end. Try to build of your sigs, or anything really, with text in mind and the incorporate it that way.

As for what you're asking for--chris is pretty much right. That's the basic template that if followed leads to decent results and ofcourse you can always modify the text and 'pretty' it up a bit. Doesn't have to be a straight font.
