Well that would be a good thing for everyone. I'm sure the sox would like to see more people not use Boras.

I guess they like what Tommie Harris and Tank bring to the table. I don't think i would of let him go but i wouldn't say I'm surprised by this move.

Next thing you need to do is right click on the text layer name (it should be called whatever you typed in) and choose the "Rasterize Layer" option. Now choose the following menu options: Layer - Layer Style - Bevel and Emboss OK, now you want to have the following: Style = Pillow Emboss Size = 7 Highlight Mode Opacity = 100 Shadow Mode Opacity = 100 Every other option leave as there default value. When you get the hang of it you can play around with different layer styles but for this tutorial we're gonna stick with that. OK now select the Move Tool again and move the text to where you want it. I think here is best as it now allows us to crop the sig down to a decent size. For more precise movement with the Move Tool, after getting the image roughly where you want it use the cursor keys to move the image in the direction you want. 1 press of a cursor key moves the image 1 pixel. Now what we need to do is crop it. To do this use the selection tool (the one thats highlighted on my toolbar in the pic). Select the area you want to keep and then do: Image - Crop At this point you might want to save your works in case you want to play around later. Select File - Save and save as the default format (Photoshop) OK, now we want to flatten the whole image so we can do the final effect for our signature. To do this choose the following menu options: Layer - Flatten Image All your layers will disappear and you will be left with one called "Background". OK now do the following: Edit - Select All Edit - Copy Edit - Paste This copies the picture and pastes it again as a new layer. Now we can do the final effect which is to give the edges that bumped effect you see. OK, now choose as earlier on: Layer - Layer Style - Bevel and Emboss and have the options set as the following: Style = Emboss Size = 8 Highlight Mode Opacity = 100 Shadow Mode Opacity = 100 Every other option is whatever was the default: Click OK and there you have your sig. File - Save for Web And here it is, the final product

Here's a tutorial on how to make a simple Sig. Nothin to special but it'll get people started. This was made with Photoshop 6 but should still be good. OK first load up Photoshop Create a new image. I've sized mine at 500 pixels width and 300 pixels height. This is a bit bigger than you want a sig (usually about 400x200) but it gives you a little play room which you can remove later on. Make sure that under contents you select transparent. OK, first you need to decide whats gonna be in your sig. As you will see there are usually 3 basic elements: 1. A cool background 2. A picture of a hot chick 3. Your name in a fancy font Cool Background For the background you can use anything you want, if you see a picture you like that you think will look good try it! For the sake of this exercise we're gonna use a little trick I found last night. Also, you will need to have at least the 3 "windows" I have open. These can be found under the Windows menu. You need Swatches, Layers and History. OK after all these 3 are open lets make our cool background. Firstly, click the new layer button: Now you will have Layer 1 at the bottom of the list and Layer 2 above it. Layer 2 should be highlighted in blue. Now, to make you're cool background we need to do the following. Select Black as your foreground colour and Blue as your background colour. To do this go over to the Swatches Window and left click on the colour you wish to have as your foreground colour (in this case Black). To select your background colour you need to hold down the ALT key and left click the colour you want (in this case Blue). After you have your colours set do the following menu options: Filter - Render - Clouds Now you have your cool background Picture of a Hot Chick OK now we need a cool pic. As it was around and cos it will impress bloo I'm gonna use the Salma Hayek pic from the Members Rest Room thread. To use this image, right click and choose save as. OK, open up the picture. After opening it the first problem you have is all them white bits. Click the magic wand tool (the tool this is selected on the left toolbar in the image below), hold down shift and start left clicking the white bits. Theres 5 in total (the 5th is a very small bit on the right hand side, just above the shoulder and below the bit of hair). Now do the following menu options: Select - Inverse Then do: Edit - Cut Then do: CTRL + F4 to close the image, choose NO when asked if you want to save. Now on your image with the nice background create a new layer (as shown earlier). Then do: Edit - Paste There you go. You now have a cool background with a pic of Salma on. Well first thing we want to do is move Salma into the right place. Click the Move tool and then move her over to the left as show below. The move tool is the one highlighted in my toolbar in the screenshot. Well I'm pretty much OK with the size of Salma in that picture but if you wanted to change it so you could fit more of her on (or increase the size so maybe you just got the face, do the following menu options: Edit - Transform - Scale Click and hold one of the diagonals and move it. To keep the same aspect ratio hold on down shift whilst doing it. Once done click one of the tools on the toolbar to accept your changes. For this tutorial though we are not going to change her size at al. Your Name in a Fancy Font So you have your background, you have your hot chick, now you need to finish off with that fancy text. OK select the text tool on the toolbar (thats the one thats a T). Click on the left hand side of your image about half way up. In the text options choose the following: Verdana Bold 72 Point Size Leave any other options as they are. Now type in your name. If your name is to long on the screen you will need to reduce your pointsize until it fits but for most names 72 should be fine. Now click OK or in the case of Photoshop 6 select one of the other tools on the toolbar. You should now have something like this.

Yepp, right by there. Worse light ever.

Yea, the way they make up the district is bad. I know about the part of school thing, Gower had that too. I had friends that ended up going to Hinsdale Central rather than South that I never spoke to again because of that. Reliving a memory from hs, always busting ass to make the stupid light at Rt. 83 & 75th every morning, boy that sucked.

I went to Hinsdale South, Graduated in 2002, which would put me in my junior year of college. Right after you graduate you realize what utter crap high school truely was and the small s*** that goes on in it.

Love to see jag bags like that get s*** from the cops.
-
ahh high school BS. how i don't miss it at all. You guys go to DGS huh? Not too far from my neck of the woods, met some people from their in college, not bad people. Anyways, couldn't you guys have had this conversation on AIM or whatever you please instead of airing all you dirty laundry for all of soxtalk to read.

Again From Old School--- Beanie : Spanish what the hell are you doing? Spanish : I'm just going to get some water. This suit is crazy hot, yo. Beanie : Put your head back on. That can be very traumatic for the kids. Spanish : You're right, I'm sorry, sir. Beanie : Don't sorry me, babe. And shake the tail when you walk. You're better than that

From Old School--- Therapist : Frank, this is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of my office as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here. Frank : Anything? Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think well maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling... what? what I thought we were in the trust tree in the nest, were we not?

Good, get that load of garbage out of town.

Story According to that it's not too serious, i guess it's a frequently-performed procedure.

Well according to Ben Dougan of fox sports. Check it out. Cursed?
-
exactly, he signed it and he should stick to it. You don't like the contract you got now, how bout no money or a salary of minimun wage. Should be happy with the money he has because many people will never see that kind of money ever. What a piece of crap.

I know another board that i was on before had one, maybe I'll see if i can use it and put it up here.
