PACKER SIGNATURE GALLERY 3.0


Updated 1/2/10
Welcome to the Third Version of the Packer Signature Gallery! A New thread for a new year. Below are ready made signatures that are available for all to use. The first few posts are reserved for our artists to post and update their available signatures. These are all available for anyone to use as their own. I know we have a lot on new members who do not have a signature, so feel free to use them. Or, if you are just plain tired or bored of yours perhaps one will jump out at you.

I would also like to encourage fellow artists to donate any extra or retired signatures they may have here in this thread. Feel free to post them here!

I would just ask that if you decide to use one of the signatures, just make a post stating that you are taking it, or P.M. the artist so they can update their gallery. Especially if you would like to be the only one that wears it.
It is also nice if you give the artist credit, due to the time and expense involved with the creation, software, and image hosting. However, I personally do not require it.
And Thanks again to all the artists below that have contributed their work. Some of you guys are amazing!

Tips
~Technique: Near the end of the middle of your signature, or wherever you feel it works, you can go for a darker more intense feel. I used this 'technique' in the Beason and Hawk. Go to your adjustment layers, and find 'exposure'. Set the gamma down to anywhere from .60 to .90. Put your offset pretty high somewhere around .2. Leave the exposure at 0. Then go to your adjustment layers, and find 'gradient map'. Make sure its a black to white G-Map and set it to multiply. I usually leave it at 100% fill and opacity.

~Technique: Near the end or where you feel it works, you can change up certain areas of color. This technique's result is hard to explain so you should just check it. I used it in the LeBron Wall to make everything that was white have a red-ish tint. It's pretty useful and cool if used properly and on something where it works. Change your both of your colors (foreground, etc) to something that matches the scheme, or just something you want to get to. Go to your adjustmet layers and find 'gradient map'. Your G-Map should be the colors you previously modified. Set that layer to 'hue'. If you like your result keep it, if you want to reverse the colors in your g-map, go ahead. If you want to delete the g-map and try again with different colors, that's cool too. If you hate what its doing to your work, go with your instincts.

~Text Effect: A simple text effect that gives your text somewhat of a glossy gradient. I've used this many times, and on the 'ryan' text in the RG wall. Type in your text. Right click on your text layer and go to blending options. Check in the gradient overlay. Your text should look black and white with a smooth gradient. We want to change that. Go to your gradient overlay's options. Change the opacity to 15-50% whatever you like and the scale to 10-20% whatever you like.

~Technique: Use this to lighten up your work. When you are about done, create a new layer. Apply your image, then desaturate it. Gaussian blur it pretty hard, around 10-25 pixels. Set it to lighten or screen. Pretty easy.

~Technique: If you feel this will work, go for it. I used this technique in 007's FF league roster logo thing, you can see it mostly on Frank Gore's right shoulder. On the layer of your render, get your clone stamp out. Set the brush size to around 9, make sure its hard not soft. Hold ALT and click near whatever you want to duplicate. Now go to the area that you want the duplication to show and start brushing. Hard to explain technique, once you go over it a couple times you'll get it.

~Lighting Effect: If you feel like your lighting stocks are depleted and/or your tired of brushing on lighting, then this is a quick simple way to provide some lighting. Use this after you've established a decent amount of layers, that includes your render and BG with some stocks. New layer. Apply your image. Filter > blur > gaussian blur about 15-30 pixels OR if you want streaky lighting: filter > blur > motion blur at your own custom angle and make your distance at least 100-999 px. Now from here you can keep your blurred image and go set it to color dodge/linear dodge/lighten/screen, whatever OR if you don't like the bright colors that produces you can desaturate your blurred image and then set it to a lighting mode, etc.

So this is going to be really obscure and theres going to be HUGE bonus points for anyone who makes this happen.

But in the "Bad" music video by Michael Jackson, theres a poster on the wall near the end that gets ripped down. The poster reads WANTED FOR SACRILEGE BAD.

I was hoping someone could somehow get that poster, photoshop it to say WANTED FOR SACKRILEGE and put Clay Matthews Picture on it. Then, obviously, keep the bad underneath it.

This is going to be tricky if only for finding the source picture of that poster. But if anyone could do it, that would be stellar.
