I cannot make a sig to save my life! This took me so long and I got nowhere

It is very hard to make sigs if you dont know what your doing. And why is it centered and oddly placed.

It's not that bad. It just lacks depth and lighting. Look up some tuts for whatever program you're using. They will help you a ton.

sad thing nick is that I did try and thats all I got. and junky someone told me something about a ruld of thirds...... so I tried to make it work but failed big time!

To be honest the only thing I remember about it is to not put your main focus in the middle..... and now looking at it, I dont think it was the greatest advice

It just looks like you're trying to do too much. It took me a long time to figure out that simplicity is good.

Yea I probably am but I think im just gonna let other people make sigs for me

lol....you'll get the hang of it, only if you want to.

Oh yeah rule of thirds.


Yeah where the lines intersect is called hotspots. And you want to keep the main attraction of any picture or video on the hotspots or 3rd's lines.

Oh is that pic a pic of thirds.

Don't get discouraged. Once you start to get brushes and stuff, it can start looking like this:


Once you get t3h sup3r pwnz0r, you get start making stuff like this:


But actually that second one isn't even all that hard. I just used a lot of C4d's and just changed the colors and opacities. Real simple if you were following a tutorial.

Just to make you feel better, this was my first sig, no lie:


Stay with it, I was exactly in your position, I couldn't figure much out and got frustrated. But believe me,it's worth to just stick with it and keep practicing. The more you do it and follow tutorials, the better you'll get. It won't happen over night. It took me like 1-2 years to get good, but it may take you less time. Half the time I was on my own. Just stick with it dude, it's worth it.

I can make sigs now but i need more practice and i'll be good soon.

Here was my first sig


and this is what i'm at now, not a big jump, but you can tell they are getting better.
