Scratch

Hi, I've been checking out a lot of sig shops and placed a few requests.
Since I see that you can create sigs that link to projects, I was wondering if you could create one that says in red bold text:
"See the Future. Play MASH, now!"
With a picture of a fortune telling ball that links to this

Okay, I will try. Don't expect too much because it's my first for other people. But I will do my best.

CN12! Congrats on your shop, man! Don't sweat over orders; once enough people look at your thread, they'll be rolling in. 
If you need any help, drop me a line!

Thanks! I was really inspired by your shop! If I need any help I will let you know!

Hi again, CN! (You don't mind if I call you that?...)
Unintentional rhymes FTW

I have a few suggestions for your first post, mostly involving organization and color scheme.
The header banner (the one that says "CN12's Signature shop") involves too many colors to have a definite scheme, and the text does not contrast well enough to be easy to see. My suggestion would be to make a banner with three or four colors max. Try to find colors that you like but that go together. For example, having an orange, blue, and hot pink color scheme might not go too well, but an orange, yellow, and blue color scheme would go pretty well. Again, this is only a suggestion. Also remember never to use the default colors if you're using a program like MS Paint. The default colors typically do not match well.
As for the the signature requests banner, I like it! It's simple but effective, with attractive but not-too distracting colors. The only thing I think could be changed about it is the size... It's pretty tall, for a one-line text banner. Right now, it's 159 pixels tall. I would suggest cropping it so that it's more around 100 or 90 pixels. 

Now, for the organization:
Your shop is extremely simple. (I'm soo jealous    )
If you take a look at mine, the first post is a big cluttered mess with way too much text crammed in a single post. Yours is awesome how it is: always try to keep it as small and neat as possible so that it's easy for the orderer to see. My only suggestion with organization is instead of posting your completed banners as images, post them as links. Once you've made a few banners and posted them in your completed sigs list, it's going to be an assault on a viewer's eyes because there's going to be just too many things to look at at one time. Keep the links neat. If I did only one thing well with my shop, it was the links.
Say that Gobo ordered a banner with a Scratchcat on it and text that says "Scratch Rules!" Personally, I find the most important thing when it comes to organizing orders is to know who make it, and what's in it. So for my previous example, I would title the link "For Gobo - Scratch Rules!"
If any of these ideas sound good to you- use 'em! If you don't like them, that's totally fine: your shop, your rules.    (Sorry for the text wall, btw XP )

Thanks for the suggestions! I was trying not to copy anyone else's shop, but now that yours is closed for a while, I guess it doesn't matter.

By the way, do you want a signature?

Oh, and yes you can call me CN.

It's not copying if I give you direct permission. 

And, sure! Let me see here...
I'd like a signature that is 500 pixels wide and 140 pixels tall, with a picture of the Scratchcat saying "Have a question? Don't be afraid to ask someone!" in the same orange color as the Scratchcat. Below that text, in the same font and color, the words "Scratch on!"

Thanks a million! c:

I don't know how to make it exactly that size but I'll try to make it close.

Could you make it so that the Scratchcat is his original size? It looks like you resized him in the banner. 
But otherwise, great! You're on your way! C:

Here Zangooser!

That better?

Hey, could I have a simple, modern, white looking banner with the words "Art is a sense."

I don't know if my code is working

1. Yep!
2. I've seen it. It's awesome.
3. Not very adavanced. I use Windows Paint, and mostly just paste images in and make signatures. But you can order one!
