Hello Damo.
First of all welcome to the void. Have fun, enjoy your stay and feel free to ask any questions you have.
Now your signatures...Where do I start. They are pretty decent for 6 weeks of using Photoshop, the text needs a lot of work but the backgrounds and effects is pretty good.

Thanks for the tips, text wise i have been downloading fonts from dafont.com and playing around with the blending options which i find limited (or just dont know what i am doing properly), do you have any tips for adding text to the sigs......

I'm afraid I don't as most of us here at the void are always getting critisised for our text choises! It's just a play and go thing really mate, just experiment with different sizes, colours, fonts and placing.

No problem. Everyone has text problems. It can be the hardest part of making a sig or any piece really.
