Nice colours and I like the spiral effect.

You name is very difficult to read and I'm not sure what the area is bottom left.

You have 500x200 pixels to play with so maybe you should consider making it a touch larger?

Good to see you've got GIMP.

Thanks guys for the feed back i'm going to eat soon so ill mess around with it when i get back. A few questions, what is the largest i can make it? And one more, if i want to change the letters without affecting the other main part how would i do that? When i try the magic want it only selecte that specific color and when i select the textbox i can edit the box not the letters.2010-03-06 16:23:00

As for the letters, have you got them in a different layer?

Well this looks goof for your first attempt when you get really good at it i'd like to see what you come up wiht. I myself am working on an awesome project which i think everyone will like, but i'm not gonna reveal anything. I suggest making it bigger and maybe adding a border and some other effects.2010-03-06 19:34:00

Thanks, just wondering how do you guys make your's? all i know how to do is dodge/burn, blur/sharpen, and blend. I can also superimpose but what are you guys using to make stuff so cool looking?2010-03-06 19:59:00

Most of the time, Patience, Lots of swearing go into the making of mine lol and practice just try out different stuff anything that works for you works, some times other people may not like the way you work but that is just there oppinion, i am thinking about recording me making my current sig so new people to sig making can see how its done, actually i think i will i will upload to youtube later on this evening. I'll then Link you so you can actually see what we do.

Note i use photoshop not GIMP.

The basic stuff is as you said Dodge, Burn, Blur and sharpen but you really need to get into uding filters and placing items in you sig to copmensate other stuff in your sig. Once you get more advanced you will get into using the clone stamp tool, textures and stuff like that.

What i really suggest is you go here and look at the tutorials they are realy good, Me and Rseah are both members there so you wont be amoing strangers.

The most important thing about sig making is having fun. Make sure you do.

EDIT: Okay my screen recorder just seriousley took the ?%&@ it deleted the vid i just recorded of me making my sig but oh well i can still show u:
