Here's a Graphics challenge for you 'experts'

[zza1pqx]

With X Fire becoming more popular and used in forums sigs more and more. Lets see who can make the best Xfire-intergrator.

That is, a sig that sits on top of the X-fire one and complements it beautifully.
You can see my poor effort below.

Lets assume that the end user utilises the Xfire style that I do.
So its XFire, Short and Wide, Combat style.

This isn't a sig request so don't be making one for me neccessarily.
You have to be aware that the Xfire width is 450 px but that it is difficult to centre the Xfire sig in a forum so your left side of the sig is pretty much gunna have to be flush with the left side of xfire sig.

Ready?

Go!

Hmm..

Oh well. Guess there's no Photoshop Tutorial that covers that huh?

[atholon]

lol..they won't even enter my cool competition. They are just slackers!

[EDGE]

No, we are not slackers. Some of us just don't like doing contests. I didn't think that was a bad thing.

a. this is a pretty stupid competition ..

b. competitions are dumb if you don't win anything

c. xfire sucks.

[Dr. Bullet]

Voodoo, tact isn't something you've learned yet is it?

I'll give it a go as soon as I'm done with Ath's air compressor

[the þrox™]

lol dr your going to win them all

[Dr. Bullet]

Damn right I am

Nah, they just sound like fun. Sigs aren't fun...they're really quite useless. But this sort of stuff is quite fun (to me).

Dude I am just kiddin'

The reason I wanted to do the competition was to get away from always making sigs...like he said it doesn't do you a whole lot of good.

not really sure what to do, how do you position the text? do you have control over it or is it always fixed? i have some ideas for designs tho

so true, so many 'gfx desingers' will not step away from siggies

[zza1pqx]

And yet in many places (not neccessarily here HQ boys tend to be a bit classier), they scream supremacy as if the world should kneel to their skills.

In terms of the XFIRE sig. What you see is what you get. Text etc is fixed.

And Voodoo mate, it's not a competition. I was interested to see what people that can handle PC graphics can do. If you can't handle it then thats OK mate. You are pretty fair at what you do. There is no shame in sticking to a global manifesto.
I myself don't always like doing something new or different in case I make a hash of it. Fear of your peers is normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
Ceratinley nothing to get aggressive over either.

[zza1pqx]

Thinking about it, I see no reason why you couldn't do 4 sigs, to go top, bottom left and right of the Xfire one to incorporate it centraly.
I hope that helps those whose inspiration comes from what they already know.

ok, I done one, but how do I do the code thing for in your sig?

[Dr. Bullet]

Yeah, ZZ, we need something definate to work with. Like an actual fixed pic, rather than a changing xfire one

[zza1pqx]

Personally I would right click the Xfire sig and click save as.
But I dont know how you top Graphics men would do it.
