lol I just showed them a small sample of what's in store! get it.. in store! lol! hahahahaha. I can do over 3,000 FX to pictures! I can even make it look mosaic make it look hand drawn oil painted all that stuff! I can even make it look retro. such as add neon lights all around the letters!He's serious, we can. Although I personally hate mosiac filters and the likes. All it takes for use is a few well placed clicks, that we shall never reveal, ha yeah right. Google it. So erm yeah, now that Ive totally butted in, I just gotta say. Astoundingly, he' s not even exagerating.

Oops thats how you treat potential customers?

I know a photoshop effect when I see one.PLEASE!!! someone buy a sig!!! :'(
could you make me a sig?
for a girl, with the words Tíní in it (the lines over the i are important)
pink and hearts would be nice, should go well with a dark red signature, and forum restrictions need not apply
BTW did you tell your rates? And dont mind, but seeing your sigs, um I can say that they are not as good as they can be. A text on a redbackground doesnot exactly look a great sig to me.
shabda, will you please refrain from flaming one of my SMU members, if you have issue with my choice of member, please contact me privately,
Sure thing! Hearts it is!
BTW Idc what the sigs look like 2 u Shadba I said I can make them however you want them! they are just what I made for myself!
Bogger here is the sig! that'll be frih$20
enjoy!

Sorry for OT but 20Frih$ for "this"... 
Empire, not meaning to criticize you, but those are REALLY generic. When you add a blending option, try changing the settings around a bit and create some different effects. It'll make things look better and bring in more customers. The better things look, the more apt people are to buy what you're advertising.

Can you help me with blending? I'm not that good yet. Just a n00bie trying to make his way around in teh SMU!I'll Reduce the price... Bogger your sig frih$15
does that sound better?
Edit button. To blend usually need some sort of images. I would suggest going with a texture, adding you brushes, then taking a soft eraser brush to it. 
I won't help you personally, but a place where you can learn a LOT about photoshop (and a lot of other design programs) is Pixel2Life. They have well over 7,000 tutorials on Photoshop. Use these tutorials for learning purposes only, though. Do not try to claim the design as your own and sell something you made with a tutorial.
*edit* BrilliantBeauty, he's not talking about blends (like your signature). He's talking about the Blending Options for layers and text in Photoshop. HEh, ooppps my bad. Well then stick a texture on at soft light. TADA!

You are being a TROLL (not trawl). Instead of coming out and criticizing him publically without giving him advice, I would suggest you have contacted him through PM or e-mail. Sure, you may not like the way he does stuff, but unless you're going to give him advice on how to do better, keep your mouth shut. Do you have examples of something you've done? I doubt it. If you want to criticize someone, give them some way to improve what they're doing. Give them tips. Advice. Anything. Don't just tell them they suck.

thank you...REMADE MY SHOP: NEW SIGS ADDED A NEW THEME!!! CHECK OUT THE TOP POST FOR MY NEW SIG STYLES!!!
Looking a lot better. Glad to see you're improving. And I really like the one you made with the WoW Dwarf on it.
*Edit* Empire, don't double post. Use the edit button. Double posting is considered spamming. sorry bout that... If a mod considers that spamming than he can edit them... lol. Yah I like the WoW dwarf 2! I just got a ton new brushes so mine are looking better in my opinion!
Just keep practicing. You'll learn that Photoshop is really easy after a while. But if you go through that site that I posted and do some of their tutorials, you will get a LOT better with photoshop. Personally, I started photoshop with trial and error (trying stuff out, see what it does). And a tip for your shop to attract more customers: post price estimates for your more commonly made things. This gives potential customers a bit more detailed look at what you're doing. This price will usually vary depending on the time you put into it and how good it looks. Just price your services according to what you think is appropriate without overdoing it.
