No problem! I'll be throwing more criticism (constructive) at you when you upload the next attempt :lol:

By the way, the very next thing I'm going to say is "Put a border on it!", and the next after that will most likely be, "Make the border look cool!" :)

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you mean the extra canvas to not stay white you need to export the sig (After you're finished) in a format that supports transparency, and set the background as such 8)

PNG format works very well for me, if that's available to you :)
I believe GIF works too, but it'll be low quality :wink:

What program are you using to create your images? As Colton said the white background depends in the file type you are saving the image as. I assume you saved it as a JPG which leaves the white background, other file types in PNG can have a transparent background.

Now it's compacted too tightly :)

You should turn this thread into your help thread before you go on selling/ giving sigs away to be honest :wink:

Took me a long time to get to where I am, just keep working at it bud :-D

It seems distorted and pixely. If you really want to get in to making Sigs you should download GIMP, it's a free program and very good. I personally use Photoshop, but it costs money (Unless.. well you know).

To save it as a PNG usually there is a drop down box at the bottom of the "Save as" window with file types or adding .png at the end of the file name might work.
