Making Sets On Paint...Any tips?

[Callie]

I'll try it sometime when I have time,i'm not too good at drawing with a mouse yet.

That's what you use the zoom tool for. And that's also what the undo button's for.

I'm pretty familiar with undo I tried getting PSP 8 Trial but it'd take like 9 hrs

Just go one pixel at a time, you can't really make a mistake ;P

Example:



Zoomed in example: Use contrasting colour to start out with, it'll help you see. You can always change the colours later. Zoom in and go slow, One pixel at a time.
Just type your letters using one colour, and then slowly outline them using another.

You can make gradients in Paint too. It can be rather time consuming, as it's done by hand...but if done correctly it looks like you've done it in a program like adobe instead of Paint.

Another suggestion I have is to you a pixel font for subtext. It makes the set more clean looking.

Ok what are gradients and what are some pixel fonts?

Gradients are like going from one color to the other but the colours blend in. Something like this :

Some good pixel fonts are :

Silkscreen
Redensek
Sevenet
Bitdust 1
Bitdust 2
Mini 7

Well, since you didn't know what a gradient was, but now should if you've looked at Paladin's post, I'll explain how it's done in Paint.

In Paint, go to Color > Edit Colors.

Click 'Define Custom Colors'

Click anywhere on the large area of colors. The bar on the right should then show various shades of the color you've chosen. (lightest to darkest) Once you have one you like, hit the 'Print Screen' key on your keyboard.

Next past the image you took a screen cap of into Paint, and just crop everything off EXCEPT for the bar with the various shades of the color you chose. Then go to Edit > Select All and adjust the size of the gradient accordingly to whatever the height of your set is.

Then hit 'Select All' again (if you had unselected it) and then Edit > Copy.

Expand the workspace in Paint to the dimensions of your sig. Then paste your gradient bar next to each other the whole way across the area. That'll give you your gradient background.

I hope that made sense. ^^;;

Another good pixelfont is Kovensky. It's like Silkscreen, but it's kind of different.
