First of all, dont think you are a good siggy maker. I dont mean be negative and say all your siggy are horrible. What i mean is, when you think ahhhh, i'm such a good siggy maker...you might not want to learn. So never think you are good, that way you are open to new things and learning! 😳 This is just my opinion.

And always try new things! 😊

ditto.

...learn to appreciate others' work, learn to point out your own faults, learn through your own mistakes...no one can really be perfect.

"This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections."

So no one can ever make a perfect siggi. To realise this and work on it, makes you a good siggi maker, in my eyes.

Good topic, titli. :)

woww amazing topic..i think tis wud help me a lott 😊

w8ng for opinions n replies

It's amazing how everyone here is saying "be original"....but so many questions in the "Questions and Queries" topic have been about "How do you make a siggy like this" or "how do you get this effect..." Quiet frankly it's annoying. That's one of the biggest challanges of being a Siggy Maker...watching ppl STEAL your ideas. Yes I said Steal...not "be inspired" bcuz that's all I've seen. So, a while bk i closed my shop and took down all the examples...and even now when i put a new siggy as my signature ppl try to copy it. All the Siggy Makers know that copying other ppl's work is wrong (especially those who have been here awhile)...however (no offense to anyone) some of the newer ppl try to do things that other siggy makers do. It's not fair cuz we spend so much time and energy trying to express our talent and other ppl just post it in the questions section saying "how can i make this"....

Ok this is getting too long 😆 I'll come bk later 😃
Great topic though!

well i think a siggy maker should always try some new things n be creative......following the same styles everytime may not do much good.........n one more thing should use his own creative ides on it n not bug others like how to mage siggy like this..........but even i am not saying that u cannot ask ur comrades to help u in sum way.....u can discuss with them n u can ask them sum things but u should not copy there styles.....it may hav taken them long time to make that style......n even i agree that gud organisation of pics is needed.........n i am too dumb in it 😆

luv,

Hey IB, good points!! i just wanted to say something about the concern you brought up. i think sometimes ppl learn only by imitating at first. just as you would imitate a drawing your teacher makes, who teaches you how to paint, the strokes, the curves, the darkness, the contrast, etc. the point is not that the ppl ask questions on "how to make this", but the fact that after the "lessons" are over, they fail to move on. that is what i think keeps them from being a "good siggi maker"...the term "good" is very arbitrary in this case, hence the use of quotes. :)

lets keep the discussion going. :)

i agree wiz both of u

its always seen in the queries thread zat people keep asking abt how to make siggy like zis n they also pm the siggy makers asking them how they made zis n zat,its very hurting when people do zis.

n also as soon as someone comes up wiz a completely new style , the same day or the next day , other sig makers come wiz zat sig maker 's style , they copy it , its really bad , me i always witness it , i feel bad n then i think abt the the original sig makers, how she feels when she see zat their style being copied

some people dont care at all abt the originality n hard work of the sig maker 😕

i felt really bad

awesome topic amina..

being a starter is really hard... but my friends and my sisters are encouraging me to do a lot better... i would be nothing without them..! love ya dis and friends! 😳

Finally replying to this topic.😳

Elements of a good siggy maker

I think the siggy maker should be really open-minded and willing to try something new whenever. Experiment w/ your software and try to find out what each control does--trust me, you'll find a whole new world. I don't understand why people copy because there's soo many things you could do even w/o copying. All right, no more copying.😛 One tip to ANY siggy maker--take time out and just EXPERIMENT! I've been saying that to soo many people and I don't know if some of them have listened. =P

Elements to a good siggy

As far as I think, there's no way a siggy can be classified as good or bad. Whenever I think a siggy is good, I think it's cause of the pictures--I really don't have much of a hand in there. When I think the siggy is bad, I ususally think it's because of me and I didn't put as much of effort in there, or it may be because of the quality of the pictures.

Well, that's my opinion.😳

diii ^there i think u agree w/ IB, not me😳

I agree with Sweta and Jenny 😃 😳 I really hate when other makers especially newbies bother you in asking questions, how did you get this effect? what brush did you use? it's okay to use the same materials as others, but make the siggs different please.. One thing I don't like is where people say this is my best sig ever .. this leaves no room for improvement.. and when they say this is my sig ever, it is a total replica of someone else's works.. 😳

Whenever I make a sigg, the picture is the most imp tool, how you present the picture in your sigg is important.. colors are very good as well and there are some siggs where there are no brushes needed. one thing that irrates me is the brushes, because i don't know how many brushes do you use and when the sig gets done, it looks horrid.. 😳

I think encouragment really helps! I thank all my angels and sis for always being supporting 😳
