OK, how bad is it?

This is my first attempt at designing my very own signature.

Not bad, but I can't read it.

Yeah, I can see that now. I am not sure what happened. When I saved the tif file to photobucket it was 1.5" x 5". IT SHRUNK!

Bear with me while I work on it. Thanks!

Here is my latest attempt. Now it seems too big. But at least it is readable.

Back to the drawing board.

I can read it just fine... but I think you are right, it is a tad too big Looks great other than that.

It looks great, but it is way too big. I resized it for you but, it's still a little hard to read. You may just want to start over with a new image 150 pixels high & then add your photo & text. That way you'll be able to see if your text is readable. Once you're done, if your file size is too large then you can resize it or I can resize it for you if you need help with that.

Its very pretty! I haven't braved making my own just yet! great job!!

I read on here somewhere that sigs should be no bigger than 600 x 300, but mine is 675 x 165. Is that o.k.? It is so hard to get it readable when you squash it down more. But if I have to, I just have to. Just let me know if I need to make more adjustments.

I really love this pic of Snow. He is just so cute and inquisitive in this one.

I thought that I would rotate pictures of the clan once I get this thing all figured out. How often do most folks update their signature?

No, it's not okay. The height limit is 150 pixels for siggies.

The entire signature should not be larger than 150 pixels in height, including text & graphics. The complete regulations are in this thread... Posting a Signature at TCS.

That's why I suggested that you may want to start over & make it 150 pixel high to begin with. That way you can create it with a good readable sized text & not have to squash down your siggy & text.

Back to the drawing board again. Thanks for all the help!

just without the borders and it fits a lot better

I change mine quite regularly, I have recently started making ones for each cat rather than all 4 of them together so they are a bit more detailed

Here it is, again. This time it is 600 x 150. Is this o.k.? Is it readable?

Both!

It really looks GREAT! And its within the limit! Super job!!

Thank you all for the support and kind words.

I am definitely not a designer and isn't like some of the beautiful professionally ones on here, but it will work until I figure out how to do some of the fancier stuff.

I'd love to know how they get just the kitty onto a different background. Oh well, that is a project for another day.
