Aww thank you, I can't decide whether it's Leo and Becki or Nikki and Harry, haha, practically the same thing I guess! Seriously thank you, I'm still not sure how I like it buuuuut point is, I had an idea and, for once, followed it through completely, yay me! I wanna make Leo a new sig... might just put that as his sig tbh haha I'm lazy. Yeah, I'll give it a go at least! Bright colours, yep, got it, I'll give it a wee try.

Ooo look, I actually made something based on the lyrics I thought went well with Benedict and Eve. Unfortunately I appear to have lost all ability to transform ideas in my head into a photo editing program. The text is really bugging me on this and I know I need to mask the pics better because some of the edges are too sharp but... girls, do you think a curvy, script font or maybe a scribbly handwriting font would work better for the text on this?

Looks fabulous Emma, I like the way you've laid it out as well. Maybe trying a mixture of fonts will unbug you on the text front? What song is it anyway? I totally feel your pain on the inability to transform ideas from brain to ps, I cant seem to make anything anymore

Aww thanks, I must admit the layout was the main thing I pictured in my head and I knew what text I wanted but fonts are always an issue for me. Thanks for the tip, a mixture of fonts could certainly help me! It's from My Same by Adele. I love her music lately and idk the song just fits relationships like Benedict and Evangeline... imo of course! Yeah I'm suffering major graphic block, mainly because there are too many ideas I have and yet none of them manifest themselves when I actually open the Gimp. (I still giggle at its name, I'm so childish haha)

I have a love/hate relationship with Adele. I like her music and she is talented but she is so overplayed, every sad/pivotal moment in any tv show and it's Adele playing and it gets on my nerves...they did the same with Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and it's only now I can listen to it without getting a rage on, lol!
Text is the hardest part of a blend for me usually, I always feel like a failboat with the text.
I really want to try making something now, it'll have to be after work though...Im working 4-10...why me?!

Aaah tbh I love her music but I hear you on that, TV has completely ruined 'Someone Like You' and 'Rolling in the Deep' especially imo. Luckily some of my favourite of her songs ('Tired', 'Daydreamer', her 'Make You Feel My Love' cover) haven't been used for stuff like that... yet. :/ On the same vein as 'sad songs overused for trailers/montages' I like Snow Patrol... and Coldplay... *cough* I had to do it.Yep, I never really concentrate on text, I get all impatient and want to finish it as soon as possible but I guess on blends like this one you need to play around with it and get it right because it's the main focus. That's usually how my mind works, I get inspiration and a huuuuge desire to make graphics either during school time, when I have a shit load of work to do, or when I have important exams looming. Right now it's the latter.

Ooo Emma the graphic you made is beautiful! I like the pictures you used of Benedict and Liv!! Texts are always the hardest thing for me as well, I've just stop using them tbh, lol! It's nice to know that text geniuses like you two have a hard time at it as well. Telle and Emma I totally agree on Adele songs, but I still love her, and yes I love some of the less used songs as well. I really love Daydreamer and My Same. Nothing I have created recently has turned out like I saw it in my head... actually nothing ever does, but lately it hasn't been as good a result as I have hoped, darn my creativeness being broader than my actual talent which is rather pitiful when it comes to graphics to be honest. Anyone want to make a sig for Starbuck- Helen Thrace, I have no inspiration for her graphic-wise anymore, except for the song Uncharted by Sara Bareilles comes to mind for some reason, don't ask me why though.

Oh oh oh! I made a sig about a million years ago when I was considering making a Katee Sackhoff character! It's not great and you don't have to use it or anything, but all the same~ Emma, your graphic is faaaabulous! :]

What, what? Oh my god I love it Lia!! May I use it?! Want to make a super duper av that is waaaay better than mine? Yes I am totally begging more more awesome graphics from you lovely ladies since I can't seem to make anything right now. Lia, just out of curiousity how did you make the squiggly lines that look like flames? And was the smoke & actual flame a texture/brush or did you create that as well?

Yeah sure, go for it! I think the smoke was a stock picture and the squiggles were a brush. I can upload them when I get home later!
