    Well I do hereby need a new signature. Somebody made one for me a while back but I appear to have lost it...so now I need help.

    Problem is, I'm not really sure what I'm after. No doubt a Gambit signature (being the Ragin Cajun and all) is needed. That's all I got. As for design, I really don't know, anything is good so long as it features our favourite card-flinging thief.

    Also, if someone could suggest a site with a good basic graphic design or somewhat tutorial, I'd like to start making my own. Or try to explain it to me here?

    Thanks in advance ya'll

    That's excellent, thanks for that

    :cheers:


    EDIT
    Umm yeah, unfortunately it says the file size is too large. Being the computer n00b I am, can anyone suggets what I can do to change the file size?

    I tried resizing it just as a guess, but that didn't work...

    Make sure its saved as a Jpeg... Some of the other formats are quite a bit bigger...

    Too big? Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I actually made the sig smaller than the maxiumum requirments. The maximum are 500 x 150, I did 400 x 150. Seldon may have pointed it out. Right click, save as, and save as a jpeg.

    Here, I tried lowering the qualitiy a little so the file size is samller....

    Holy-moly photoshop skillz!
    @ Cajun, it might look better if you centered it in the sig (but that could just be me).
