Post Your Old Signatures

**Violet** · 12-06-2008, 05:22 PM

In here, I want you to post old banners that you made yourself from eons ago. If you're self-conscious about showing old crummy work, well.. you shouldn't be! It's how you came to be, so you should be proud to show it off.

Anyways, just find any old banner you made back then, and post them up. I'll start first.

And finally.. before I got a hold of Photoshop..

BEHOLD.. MS PAINT CRAP: http://evolution718.netfirms.com/rinoa_angel.gif lol, my very first banner.

And yes, the names in the banners were former screen names I used to go by.

That's my old sig (new post though)...I'm fairly sure I just Googled some image & slapped it in MSPaint...same with the little club button sigs...I made a set of 'em for Chrono Trigger Club, 8BT Club & for some reason a Shiva club...>_> I was also part of an evil club and apparently a one for fans of Yoshitaka Amano's Dream Hunters comic thingy...Ah, I forgot about that quote too, ha!

Here is my collection of signatures. You can definitely see how I've improved, and thank heavens for that.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...Knowpower2.jpg - First ever. TERRIBLE.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...wnBanner-1.jpg - Before I could do anything but crop. ^^;
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...eyanewie-1.png - Eh, alright.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...aSignature.png - Part of my transparency phase.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...es/NewEdea.png - Nicer version of the above
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ewithquote.png - More transparency.

Quistis. Another favourite.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...octorStone.png - Doctor Who. Mmhmm.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...octorStone.png - Part of my short tenure as Sour Sob.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...rFaceFinal.png - There are about 3 bazillion versions of this, so I'm not sure if it's the right one. XD
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m.../DonnaBW-3.png - More Donna. =D
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ror4Final2.png - To match the FF Cult avy Ann made. *nods*
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...Quistmas-1.png - The banner with the worst pun ever. Hehe.

My first banner in Photoshop. I larve it.

And obviously, my current one.

This thread looks interesting. I'll post my nine months of banner making with comments. Let's see if my attempts have resulted in anything decent... Just be warned that almost all of the backgrounds will be boring. =P

I'll try to go in order:
http://i43.tinypic.com/4ha0oy.jpg - I'm pretty sure this was my first attempt at making a banner. I originally had it without the border, but the border was definitely a good choice. Magna Carta, will I ever have the initiative to finish you?
http://i40.tinypic.com/2z6ticz.jpg - Here's the first banner I had when I changed my username. Putting a bunch of random images together on a boring background = good?
http://i39.tinypic.com/2nthagz.jpg - Made this for some random person who didn't stay. Boring.
http://i30.tinypic.com/bhhb82.jpg - Made this for the same person. Less boring, but still bad. =/

http://i28.tinypic.com/29uzzp5.jpg - I made this as an example when BAU still existed. Better than previous banners, but I made it pretty quickly, so it's not great by any means.
http://i30.tinypic.com/2mzxycg.jpg - Another example for BAU.
http://i30.tinypic.com/2rwkpde.jpg - Final example. It looks bad because I did it in like two minutes...

http://i32.tinypic.com/96xklz.jpg - I thought of having a sig shop? What was I thinking with this image?
http://i27.tinypic.com/2po4i8y.jpg - Adoption?

- Halloween sig contest. First one that I actually kind of like...
http://i33.tinypic.com/6r6iiv.jpg - Madobe Nanami? Why?
http://i37.tinypic.com/2w5n793.jpg - This one was kind of cool. Crop and add text.
http://i48.tinypic.com/4pv7zt.jpg - Was going to be an example for that sig shop... I liked the picture.
http://i50.tinypic.com/30s7bzp.jpg - Final example. Also, I think this is the end of crop + text.
http://i37.tinypic.com/2j8ms9.jpg - This would have been better to use for the sig shop.
http://i34.tinypic.com/2qibggp.jpg - Did I actually use this? Oh, yeah. Yasuda Suzuhito = win.

- Moe Kare!! Tried coloring in Photoshop. Didn't know how to do it properly. Are her eyes supposed to be... pink?
http://i49.tinypic.com/350v3x0.jpg - Please don't look at this one... I think I might have been pretty lazy on this one... It is from the same manga as my current avatar, though.
http://i49.tinypic.com/ivl5ko.jpg - Christmas sig contest.
http://i47.tinypic.com/11bu4y9.jpg - Better adoption banner. I guess this wasn't really needed, though.

- Improvement on that other banner, but this might be the most boring background ever.

- I kind of like this one.
http://i42.tinypic.com/2555em9.jpg - First banner with a real person. Too much light blue?

- Current banner. I colored it. Aikawa, stop pretending to be a girl.

I used the [img] tags for the ones that I wanted you to see.
