I made a new av & sig for Ceara seeing as the last one had her & Seb in it and they are no longer together ( ) Im very "meh" about it...I couldnt think of anything else to add to it. Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

I love it! The text placement is great and I like the balance between the black/white/red! Maaaaybe some more colors if you wanted to add something? That's just me, though; I'm not happy with a graphic until it looks like a rainbow threw up on it.

Aaah Lia, I love your character sketches, they're so cute and I'm all jealous, haha in a good way. Ooo and I love the fact that even their names are how you'd imagine the characters to write, you know, with like Meghan's having the heart and stuff, tis fab!

May I say Lia that your character sketches are purely awesome! I love them, truly I do! I too love how the writing style of their names match how you might imagine their character to write. By the way Emma I also love your new av&sig for Alistair, they're so pretty!!! I made a new av and sig for Zoe but I'm not quite sure how I feel about them yet, but the roses and lemon tree are actually pictures from my Mum's garden which make them quite spectacular I think. I had an urge to use them... even if the sig looks a bit too busy perhaps.

The sketches are SO good Lia...honestly, the Geoff one made me (and Lillian) squee! Is there anything you cant do?!
Your new av & sig for Zoe are so bright & summery looking, nice job on that!
I made a new sig for Seb...its so bland and emo, very unlike Seb...well on the surface anyway, deep down he's so damaged, lol!

Thanks all! Zoe's av and sig are really lovely and colorful, and Seb's is super nice! Aww, he looks so pensive.

No one has posted on this for a while so I thought I'd bump it up by saying I made a new av for Josh. Whooo! I haven't made anything lately, at least nothing I could be proud of so, here it is, and in five seconds I will probably be groaning about it but, I sort of like it. It's rather simple (after I played with it a billion times) I couldn't think of anything else to add, any ideas?
Also does anyone know what a rar image is and how you could bring it into Photoshop CS4?

I really like Josh's new av, Cara, I can't put my finger on precisely why... I think its the placement of the paper on the background and him and then the shadow behind his head and... it's just fab! .rar is an archive file, like a zipped folder, you need to 'unpack' it to get the files that have been put in it. I think it's WinRAR that you need to download to able to do that. I'm no authority of vaguely technical computer stuff though so I could be talking a lot of bollocks right now. I'm strangly proud - considering how simple it was to make - of the new sig I made for Alistair. It's much softer and lighter than his previous one soooo nice change from the dark and depressing-ness of the old av/sig methinks! In a similar way, I'm happy with the way my sig for Henry turned out considering I spent aaages trying to make something for him and then thought "sod it, I like this pic, I'll just use this one on its own and slap some simple text on it". Quite pleased, all in all. It's not CatS related buuuuut I finally broke out of my dry spell with blends and made this Community blend thing, inspired by a Jeff and Britta fanvid that used the song the text is lyrics from. Also, I made this random banner but I'm really not happy with the text, I think I need a less-chunky font, something swirly and handwritten-esque maybe? And also, a Sherlock sig, complete with a pointless completely black and white version too! It's safe to say that I've stopped making graphics as often as I used to and now I mostly suck when I attempt anything relatively interesting. I stick to simple.

Thanks Emma, well I'm still liking it so far so it's passed the 5 second rebound rate to utter disappointment. May I just say Wow that is a lot of wonderful new graphics you've made. I particularly liked Rach's, the community blend, and the Sherlock piece, they were all brilliant I really can't choose favourites! I like the text you used for Rach's, specifically I liked the big white lettering, I think the block-y-ness of it makes it legible against the grey-ish-cream coloured paper, but if you wanted curvy writing, perhaps you could change the grey fonts to look more handwritten curvy but still sort of bold? If you get my drift, and the white part could even be a little chunkier yet classic, I can't think of the name of the font I'm thinking of right now, but... I love it just the way it is, just trying to help you with your font predicament, honestly I'm probably the worst with fonts so you probably shouldn't even be listening to me, haha. Telle is the bomb with font placement, *see Ceara sig up above for proof.* And Lia you always seem miraculous with fonts too. Rach is lovely the way she is though really.

First of all, thank you SO much for saying "Telle is the bomb with font placement, *see Ceara sig up above for proof.*", that really made me all smiley!
The new av's and abundance of art all look fabulous girls, and I think the Rach one looks fab Emmamamama, my suggestion would be to mix in some curvy handwriting font with the other one, as you'll see from too many of my blends, Im a fan of that! I was going to attempt some artwork tonight, but I have had a skinful at the pub and think that'd be the worst time to attempt to be artsy, lol

I know this is really late but you are very welcome welcome, and it is well deserved. Girls, you are each very good with font, I on the other hand am quite bad with font. Right, well I am not much for begging but I am at a loss, I really want to create a new av & sig for Olivia but everything I create is absolute rubbish. If anyone feels artsy and wants to create an av and/or sig for her I would be super appreciative? It can be simple I am really not picky.

It is SO hard to find images of Emilia Fox and Tom Ward, let alone images whose colours aren't completely screwed up, hence when I finally did get around to finding some to use in this banner they still came out a little odd. But I like it, in a weird way, hehe. Re: Av/sig for Olivia, do you have any preference on what kind of photos and such? Or colours/style? Might give it a go later this week you see because I'm in the mood to make something!

OMG Emma!! Your banner for Leo & Becki is beautiful!!! Wow, really?! Err... I would be happy with anything tbh, I know that is not helpful, but maybe bright colours, like yellows, blues, pinks, oranges... I don't really care which colours you use but for some reason I see Olivia as being a bright and happy sort of person so I associate bright and happy colours with her.
