| DESCRIPTION:
Make
a stylish Sig Tag with
PI and different filters.
|
 |
New Image: Canvas color:
Black and Size: 400x400 Pixels.
Effect/UnPlugged Tools (red arrow)/Jalosi (white arrow) and
use these settings (1):
15/3/108/104/112/64/255/0.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters
Unlimited 2 ... but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply and click 4x the Plus (white hand) for the Brightness.
(This step is optional ... depending on which colors you are
using!)
|
|
 |
Effect/Mock
(red arrow)/Windo (white arrow) and use these settings
(1):
128/216/10/10/10/10.
As before ... even if you don't have FU, the settings for the
filter remain the same.
Minimize the image for now and open a New Image: Canvas color: White and Size:
300x300 Pixels.
|
|
 |
Choose
the Standard Selection Tool (red arrow)/Rectangle (white hand)
and draw a rectangle as you can see on the screenshot.
Go to Edit/Fill/Color (or use the Bucket Fill) and fill the
selection with Black.
Keep the selection activated, go to Effect/ UnPlugged
Tools/Jalosi and use the same settings as before:
15/3/108/104/112/64/255/0.
Remember ... click 4x the Plus for the Brightness as we did
before. (Once again ... this step is optional!) |

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, and for once, I didn't add a name at all! :))
|
|
| That's it! A stylish Sig Tag ... made with
PI and different filters. HAVE FUN!!!
