Guys, I have to know:

Who makes all of your snazzy graphic signatures, what do I have to do to get one and whoever makes them, what do you use? [I saw psycho's post with Porky's reply, assuming he's made some - they look great]

I find the use of colors extremely nice.  So, to whoever makes them, kudos on a fine job.

We have exclusive right to the skin, but the banner was made by PorkyCorky, and Greg added a background image last night for blending. And Porky made my signature, as well as PsychoArmyKid's signature.

Ah, so Porky is the one to bribe eh?

psst, Porky, I think I have some old PC133 ram around here somewhere...[kidding]

Anyway, again, the whole site is dazzling along with the individual signatures.

Psycho - I've played around with graphics before, but I never got very far.  I remember using Paint Shop Pro 4 way back in the day...years ago.  Maybe I'll try again sometime, but I don't even know what kind of picture manipulation products are out there now.

Heh, I figured, but as yet I haven't spoken to the guy [hey Porky!] and if he has more important things to do, I'd rather him do that.  Afterall, I can't imagine that you can just whip those things out.  It looks like they take a marginal amount of time.   :)

Just about everybody who does graphics nowadays uses Photoshop. You can buy Photoshop Elements for pretty cheap and it basically has the same functionality.

I have Photoshop 4, which is about as old as the 178th layer of sedimentary soil on the planet Earth during the mesozoic period.

I guess it's better than nothing though.  Between juggling work, wife, daughter and my nutty family, I'll have to find the time.

I just now noticed the topic.  ;)

I use Adobe Photoshop CS, but I may be getting the latest version of Photoshop CS2 over the summer.

As Predator mentioned, I do it for free and it is just a hobby of mine.  I started designing close to a year and a half ago.  It's hard when you first get started, but once you learn Photoshop and read up on tutorials it becomes easier.

Well, Chris, if you ever want me to design something for you, feel free to PM me.  ;)

Hey, Pyscho.  Here is a link to some GIMP tutorials.  They may help you learn the GIMP interface and what not.  I would try and help you out, but I have never used it.

Here are also a few other tut links for some other graphics programs.

Adope Photoshop - Pixel2Life
Adobe Photoshop - Good-Tutorials
Paint Shop Pro - Pixel2Life
Various Programs - DeviantArt (Just scroll down and select your program)

Also, Google is the top search engine for a reason.  ;)

I'd make you one, but I cant seem to find photoshop, and my laptop is hard to work on now that I have my 20\" dell monitor.

here are some of the things I have done (did these one day when I was making several variations to vote on)
