do you think my Sig. is to large? and if so how do i make it smaller on here.. i just up loaded it up from a jpeg

CrimsonRequiem · May 19, 2009

It's a little on the big side.

I just dragged your sig to my desktop and checked it in Preview here. It's 480 x 79 Pixels.
Here is the Forum Rules on Sigs. Yours is 1 Pixel less in height and the limit on length. So it just barely is within the rules.

Rules for Signatures:
You can have up to four lines of text in your signature as well as an image. Be tasteful, remember people are here to read posts, not be distracted by your signature. Specifically:
You can have up to four lines of text and one image up to 480 X 80 and 15k in size.
Links to other communities or forums are limited to one no larger than font size 1 or an image no larger than 80 X 15.

lol so it made it... but i think it is to big.... just wanted your opinions

how do i make it smaller.. i just made it in illustrator and exported it to a jpeg and just added it straight from a jpeg in the browser.

It may have made it within the guidelines but it is a bit distracting. Perhaps a smaller sig would be best

Although it fits in with the signature guidelines, I agree that it is really big, distracting and generally unnecessary. Unless you have some kind of profound quote or statement, I'd keep it simple. People know your user name.

i know.. i am trying to make it smaller.. but i dont know how to go about doing that.. i need some help

i was thinking the same thing.. when you get to wherever i post you see my sig. first.. and it is very distracting. i want it about half the size it is now

Good point. Why do you need your user name in your sig?

If you do want to keep it, look for something in your image editing program of choice that will scale the image down, keeping proportions or aspect ratio. For example, in Acorn you would go to Image > Resize Image... and make sure the "Keep aspect ratio" checkbox is checked. What image editing program are you using?

macwannabe · May 19, 2009

did it i had to go around the forum and use photobucket and i just made it work

Not a huge fan personally, way too big. I actually ignore posts from people with big signatures, it's just not worth my time reading a post where the signature is bigger than what the poster actually has to say.

macwannabe · May 19, 2009

ok...

dtravis7 · May 19, 2009

Looks a lot nicer now. It really was too large for what it was. I was just amazed it just made the rules though as it looked so large!

macwannabe · May 19, 2009

It kind of reminds me of when people put huge window stickers on their cars with the model name of the car or the manufacturer symbol. I'm sure few people need clarification on the matter, especially given that the car comes from the manufacturer with badges all over it. What's the point?

Hehe, I only have mine in there for those who are challenged by "1337 5p34|<".

thx a bunch cwa have a great day

Umm just a side note on working in general. When you make something make sure you save it AI, PSD whatever so you always have the original.

Then when you need to make changes you can. Instead of dealing with a compressed file, which doesn't have the quality of the original.

You could have scaled it down using photoshop, but whatever works for you.

Sorry, I didn't meant to offend - you just asked for thoughts and those were mine.
