@ Jovy thanks. I'll play with some images, let's see if I am able to obtain something nice.
And nice tip for those videos, I'll add that space.
In the meanwhile, can I ask you for
If you have some free time, obviously
edit: I would like to have your opinion on this

In the meanwhile, can I ask you for
- using your image in my signature
- another images with the same text, but with zombie brand (and maybe a little bit of red... if you think it's appropriate) to have as a second/randomized signature

@ Jovy it's great, thanks!
And now, with my new super powers, I'll try to find the BBcode of your red! :P
edit: mission complete! Buuuut it's probably too dark with this background: it's almost invisible. Maybe this is a good compromise.
Oh, and if you have a couple of minutes:
(but now I am planning to switch from simple red to your dark red, it looks way better)

Sure no problem!
Also this is the exact code from the border #4c0408 though any darker red will look more or less the same so you don't need to fuss about it. Mind you it might not look good in a guide since it's pretty dark. This is a softer version from the background of the signature #9a5255
- Deeefinitely want to use a darker red because blood red can be painful to look at in larger amounts.
- This might be a weird rule, but I try to keep text smaller than the face of the character in the picture, to help with proportions. Right now the text is too big IMO.
- You also want to keep the text near the focal point (IE the character). If you want it to go above the lower border, don't have it be as long as the whole border (usually), but in the centre with some space on each side.
- The good thing about photoscape is that you can stylize the text a little bit unlike in paint. I'd add a shadow to your text to make it pop, but don't make it too prominent. Something like this https://i.imgur.com/fB1TYxn.png
- I like to keep borders for opening banners around 10 pixels max. For signatures, half that or 3-4 pixels even.
- I'm guessing you used the Colorize filter to make the splash art red, and that's what made it a little JPEGy? https://i.imgur.com/5AjiB9f.png Either that or you used a low quality picture? Either way I'd remove the colorize filter and keep only the border and text red.

@ Jovy Ok, I've tried again (and I think this is my last attempt for today, I have to return to my work ç_ç).
This is done using some of your tips. Honestly I think that borders are too small, almost invisibles, probably due to the fact that my image is too high. And my original image was a jpg, I believe that's not a smart move. Should I use a png?
My shadow set up is a little bit different (maybe that's due to the fact that I'm using a mac version), so I hope it's not too prominent ^^
Anyway, without any filter for red (I used one, I can't remember which one), do you think there is still enough red in the image? To me, as now, it looks "greeny".
About the font, I am not totally sure about this one, but I want a font clear enough to leave text easy to read.

You need to log in before commenting.
I think what you do with your video in your guide right now looks pretty good, I'd only add more space above and below the video and the texts. You want to have a line of space between every new block of something (text, image, video, divider etc).
Yeah you can randomize your signature with this:
