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.

new sig
I have had a go at a new sig today, inspired by some of the great work i have seen on here, it is the first time i have used c4d tht i got off deviant art.com. I know its not the best but i would love some advice and hopefully some ideas for new textures......
It's not bad for the first time of using C4D's but I would suggest using a smaller canvas. And the text your using for your name is killing all of your signatures, I don't like it at all. Other than that it's a nice signature. Remember; if your cropping a stock always press the shift key so it doesn't pixelate it. :)
