| DESCRIPTION:
Make
a stylish and special Sig Tag with the help of PI.
|
 |
New Image: Canvas color:
White and Size: 300x300 Pixels.
Edit/Fill/Gradient (red
arrow)/Fill type: last one (white arrow)/Fill color: Two
colors: 29/1/182 (2)
and 12/1/73 (3).
Click OK.
To make this special taggie, we have to use a mask.
|
In case you
need to freshen up your memory on how to save a mask into the EP -
you can take a look at one of my other tutorials, where I explain
a little bit more about how to use a mask in PI. You'll find the
tut here.
|
 |
Change
the background color (white hand) to a color you want your
mask to be. (For this
example I used white).
Open
your Easy Palette/Object Libraries (red arrow) and find the mask you've
downloaded. Double-click the mask (1), choose the Crop Tool ("select"), click the
Crop button (white arrow) and crop the picture.
|
|
 |
Format/Expand
Canvas/Expand sides equally: 40 Pixels, Expand color: White
(your background color!)
Open
your tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main
picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it.
Right
click/Properties/Position & Size (white hand)/Position and
use these settings:
Left: 146 (red arrow)
Top: 107 (white arrow).
Click OK. |
|
|
|
Right
click the tube/Duplicate, choose the Transform Tool (red
arrow) and resize the duplicated tube to a Width of 190
Pixels. You can also resize ... more easy and exact ... with the
Properties/Size command (white arrow).
Right click the tube/Properties & Position (white
hand)/Position and use these settings:
Left: 39 (1)
Top: 76 (2).
Keep the window Object Properties open.
|
|
|
|
Choose
General (red arrow) and change the Transparency to 50% (white
arrow).
|
|
|
|
Activate
the first tube, choose the Pick Tool (red arrow)/Arrange: Bring to
Front (white arrow).
Choose the Text Tool, and add your name.
Merge All, and the taggie is finished :)

This
is just another example on how this Sig Tag could look like! But
for this example, I used the color of my homepage as back- ground
color. :))

special Sig Tag ... made only with tools from PI. HAVE FUN!!!
