I have been searching NAM as well as the internet to see how to create the cool graphics of a Mini with eyes and a mouth. I have noticed that many members have these in their signatures, customized to reflect their vehicles. Is there a website where I can access this? Would love to give life to my creation.

 

I've recently discovered the image/graphic utility built into the www.photobucket.com website. It's FREE, unless you opt to go with premium features, but the basics are all you need and they're pretty robust!

Here's one I worked up quickly:



Try it out. It's fun. Good luck!

 

Very impressive. You have an eye for design!!

 

Thanks! I dabble at work, but most of the time, I just get other people's files to look better on press. I'd love to design more though.

The key is to see what you like in other people's signatures and then find ways to incorporate those elements into something that's uniquely yours. You'd be surprised by how many graphic utilities are available, even in low end programs. It's fun to explore these programs because it cultivates creativity. I use Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop and Illustrator among other programs. While they're considered high end programs, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface! But I'll keep tinkering...

I created this drawing from scratch using Adobe Illustrator for another website I frequent: www.flytheroadclub.com

 

I just changed my signature graphic (I was bored), so I figured I would post.

The more I stare at him, the more I'm falling for my new man!
He is so HOT!!!

Hubby shouldn't mind, though. He has 2 other women in his life-
Ava, his new Avalanche, and Alicia, his motorcycle!

 

Great info!

Darth Small! Love that name!!!

OMG! I just checked out those threads and I'm so utterly humbled by this guy's talent! Wow. Awesome. And what a generous person for sharing his gifts with us. I'm usually a DIY kinda guy, but I wouldn't mind seeing what Craig has got up his sleeve for me once I land my car.
