Signature Challenge: Delicious



I did this siggy for the forum that does not vote. They posted a tutorial they wanted us to do, and I really didn't care for it. Odd, because I normally like siggys in the rose shades. But the tube on this kinda turned me off. So, I had no qualms about substituting it with another. I just grabbed one of my free tubes that I got at a different forum, and went at it. I didn't expect to like this siggy, but now I do! Once I got rid of the pinup in the fur, and toned down the elements a tad, it was rather cool!

There was no animation on this tag. I was a bit bored, and I found inspiration in the elements of the kit. They included a feather. In a previous tutorial, there was a feather too, which included an animation that wrote out "SWAK" with the feather. But in that tutorial, they just gave you the animation. You didn't have to create it. Well, I had intended on playing around with that idea and creating my own animation, where the feather wrote out my name or something else. I thought this would be a great time to play with that idea again. So here is the result! A siggy that signs my name! (I'm just so darned proud of myself, LOL!)

Now I'm happy with the tag. I thought the original was tacky, but now I like it in calmer solids and less embellishment. And I'm just tickled with my signing animation!! I wasn't really sure of what I was doing. I just took my name and started erasing it. I tried that in AS, and it looked okay in how it printed out. So then I went back and put in the feathers. That worked pretty good too, but I didn't like the way it ended, with the feather just stuck there, dotting the "I." So i threw in some more feathers, and tried to get the feather to float down. Now I'm happy, LOL!

I know the animation's not perfect, but it's the best I've ever done with no tutorial to guide me, so I'm thrilled.

Preset Shape from a Dingbat Tutorial

Image
I enjoyed learning this. I was to find a dingbat font, and use one of the dingbats to create a preset shape. The dingbat challenge is to help us figure out how to make scrapbook kits, papers, elements, etc. I’m not sure yet how I’ll use it, but it’s good to know anyway. At least now I know there are preset shapes in there, and how to find them. You can find dingbat fonts (free!) that will provide you with most any shape you can imagine. So my first step was to go seeking dingbats. I found lots of them. One that I wanted to try had several different bunnies on it. (I like bunnies a lot, and I collect bunnies.) Then I followed the tutorial to create a preset shape. You discovered in my last two posts that I could use a preset shape to cut out a photo, so I tried the process again. Practice makes perfect, right? There wasn't any purpose to using a bunny font, but hey, I like bunnies so what the heck. It's just for learning purposes. Yes, I entered it as a challenge su

I'm trying out a new hobby. I'm playing around with photo editing software, to learn how to create siggys. I have been dying to learn this, and now I've joined some tutorial groups in hopes of figuring this stuff out. My first tutorial was to learn how to make a very basic siggy. It was fun to play with. Now, I was just playing with the stuff built into the program - nothing fancy. But it was fun! And I came up with something that I didn't think was hideous. The software is already getting a little less scary. Maybe I'll be able to get this figured out one of these days. But for now, baby steps.
