Re: Making a sig using paint...

Well, that really depends on what the sig itself is.

And in all honesty, the only time you should ever use Paint is for making sprites, but it's your decision.

Anyway... what is it you want to make?


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

No, the paint in acessories is what hmnwilson means.

I can make a sig if you want, and even update it with your newest project (I need to be notified when you make a new one).

If not, just looks at some pixel art tutorials. Paint (even better Windows 7 paint) is good for pixel art.

I don't mean for Scratch projects... Outside of Scratch, "sprite" just means pixel art, like the kind you see in some video games (i.e. 2D Super Mario Bros), and this is often the only time Paint is really good.

But onto your question. You could simply use the text tool (the one that looks like the letter T) to write your name out, which is easy enough, but probably won't look that good. If you're looking to make a nice attractive logo, you should consider downloading a better art program such as Gimp.

i Have looked at Gimp before but im not sure how to use it...

Re: Making a sig using paint...

I usually use paint for the generic shapes and then use paint.NET and the Gimp for fine tuning and effects

i Have looked at Gimp before but im not sure how to use it...

Paint.NET is a very easy to use alternative if you have a Windows machine.

It was designed to be a highly functional high quality replacement for MS Paint.

MS Paint has always messed things up for me. I use GIMP because I have a Mac and .NET doesn't work on Macs  smile

Re: Making a sig using paint...

1. Don't use paint.

2. I use paint for converting images.
