Patrick Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I was experimenting on Paint.net and I started using plugins. Enjoy?I'll be using as my sig if I get positive resultsI used: 3d plugin for the middle layer , Clouds Rgb levels and blur for the backround, and I used colour bevel for the writing. The writing is a font called Mom's typewriter.I'll be rounding off at the edges and shrinking it later on. I'm also trying to get the coming out from the page effect.

zearth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 the text looks awkward but not neccesarily bad, ive been messing around with paint.net myself today and recognize some of the plugins. looks cool though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I felt the text needed some type of effect. I didn't know which one.Oh I also used the paint splatter plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zearth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 maybe some sort of text glow or a different color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Text glow is a bit tetchy. Too hard to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zearth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 true enough, id say make it fit the background better with color or something;definately edit the text though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 I was trying to get a metal effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zearth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 have you looked at any of the tutorials for paint.net/photoshop? ive made a few cool things including metal with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jna Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The background looks good but the text is not so good. It looks like if it said the following: MCnUGGet, first letter should look uppercase and the rest lower case, or maybe the N uppercase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 What type of effect should I use for the text? I'm kind of stuck on that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zearth Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 try using a color that doesnt directly conflict the background (red on blood never works in my opinion)try maybe a black, silver or blue-grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bob Firefarter Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 You could have it dripping, or not be linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 @zearth:> (red on blood never works in my opinion)I think that contradicts your sig.Also I think you mean black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bob Firefarter Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yes, I bet he did, but red on blood doesn't work well either, ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
