Gmail Signature pics
 

I've added one to mine ... anyone else want one.

I'm not the best at graphic manipulation, but it looks ok :D

Just tell me waht email address your using and I'll upload them to here :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

it looks better if you keep your name in the original font, a la mine ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I don't have the slipstream font tho' ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

but mine is the same font as the ".com" bit... i just edited the text in that particular layer and it worked.......

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

ok, tried

Using PSP .... still can't get it right ... what's the font your using

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

it is tahoma, according to photoshop.

check out the attached... one is your name, one is a photoshop template that was floating around the gmail forums ;)

photshoppers just need to change "yourname" to their name, and move the gmail logo slightly...

not sure how PSP handles photoshop templates...

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

:Yikes: Photoshop on my PC won't open that PSD file, it says there isn't enough RAM. My PC has 512MB of RAM, and as of this moment the vast bulk of it is lying idle (I just did a restart to make sure). Any chance you could re-check that the file didn't corrupt or something? Its size on my desktop is a mere 361k.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

what the hell... i think there is something wrong with your photoshop, i have it just opened now and all it says is "some text layers need to be updated before they are suitable for vector output... do it now?"

i have checked it and it seems fine here... still, the original is at THIS location.... dont ban me for advertising other forums ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

aaw pants, I can't get the original to open either. Photoshop has never misbehaved on my PC before. Just a thought - which version of Photoshop are you using? Mine is 6, I wonder if the file is v7 only? Guess I could try and open it at home on my lovely Mac this evening, right tools for the job and all that :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

yes, i have v7.0

i can try re-saving it as something else...back shortly ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

HAH !!!!

Resorted to using Photoshop 7 .... done it .... :D :D :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

you used the one i gave you really didnt you ;)

go on, admit it..

and as an aside for towny...

www.davestones.co.uk/gmail-tiff-ibm.tif (IBM byte order, wahtever that means)

and

www.davestones.co.uk/gmail-tiff-mac.tif (Macintosh byte order, whatever that means)

layered TIFFs for incompatible photoshop... they work here so they should work elsewhere...

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Dave ...:nono:

I did it proper :D

ok, so any takers, I've had a PM from SkyBlueHeroes, but can you post requests in here, unless you have a reason not too, then PM me with the reason too ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Photoshop refuses to run on my brand new PC, giving 'insufficient memory allocated' even though I've 512mb!

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

i should have put author properties etc in the file, or watermarked it or something to check...damn.

i still think you stole mine though ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Should one capitalise the words in the address, or not?

Some do, some don't.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

think it's personal preference really... mine isnt capitalised cos my gmail address looks exactly as it is on my sig, i didnt put capitalised letters in...

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Cheers Nemmy......

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

No prob, done a further 2 via PM ... :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Can someone do me one with my address on it if I PM them my address?

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I'd have one - but to add one would take me over my sig limit :(

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

You could slip it in to the right of that.

Perhaps you should change to DILL*IGAF@GMAIL.notgoingto complete this incase it gets picked up for spamming.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Good idea :)


I think I may redo my sig to have the gmail addy come up in it....

But if someone could send me a graphic that would be lovely :)

My gmail is dilligaf1701 at gmail.com

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

What do you think to this?

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Needs to stay on the actual address for a few seconds (or else you cant read it) but apart from that its good :)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

MMMmmm - how about now :)

Although - ideally i'd love one of those fancy gmail graphics to put in the animation - thanks for your opinions people :)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Can I have one? PLEASE its damienoneill@PLEASEDONTSPAMME*****.gmail.com

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

a nice one like mine or a crazy one like dilligaf's? a nice one is attached...

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Crazy??? :)

Just you wait 'till you see the one I'm working on right now :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

the exploding one hurts my computer... refine it so it doesnt take so long to download ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Photoshop will take as much memory as you can give it and some.If you have lots of other windows and software running it hates them and gets huffy so make sure you have as few other programs running as you can.Also if you have lots of styles and shapes and brushes loaded I suggest you remove them after use and before closing down Photoshop or you may have a long wait for it to load the next time you use it.

But all in all it's a wonderful graphics package.

Incog.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

thanks :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Trouble is if I 'refine' it too much it looks crap.... anyway - i've changed it and um got the file size down a bit more.:)

If it's STILL to crazy then I'll have to work on it some more.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I can't get it to load at all.

The trial version loaded ok, then I removed and bought the full version, and no joy whatsoever. I cannot get it to open.

I have had to give up on it...what a waste of rather a lot of money!

It will load and run on my OLD machine, with 128mb RAM and a 166 processor, but not this new one!

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Hmm! Why not try Adobe Forums for some help and support.As you say it's a lot of money so see if anyone can help there in the forums.

Incog. :)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Cheers....

A search there reveals it's a known issue, and nobody knows how to solve it.

Hmmm.....

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I wonder if you can demand your money back?

Probably not.Funny how just about anything you buy must be fit for it's purpose EXCEPT software and you have no legal comeback in that respect. :mad:

Incog.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Please can I have one. My address is:

matthewleggott@donotspamme.gmail.com

Thanks.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

wow, it is like a production line ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Thanks for doing mine.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I am delighted to have been the first person to introduce the GMail sig craze to CableForum....:D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Any chance I could impose for a sexy gmail graphic. :D

My email addy is brian.wilson1971@gmail.com

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Try this....

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

EDIT: Got it right now...ahem...

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I'm still waiting for mine :( so I can mix it into my sig ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Done 2 for you dilli ... not sure which you wanted ..

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Thanks for that - the 2nd one is perfect :D

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

IMO a lot of them have a very hard to see "name" & ".com" as it almost fades into the background.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I think they are meant to be understated and not look too much like an advert.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

IIRC some of the comments on the gmail forums where the image came from suggest that the design might make it harder for certain bots to read and collect them for spamming purposes too.

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

The original design is a PSD file ... The images I'm converting them to are jpgs, no layers ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Good point, that would explain a lot.

I think they look really cool. I'm totally sad. I know GMail weren't responsible for the images, but perhaps they should look at some sort of script to generate one whenever an account is created.

The whole GMail thing seems to be taking the net by storm. By doing the 'invites' thing initially, under the supposed cover of it being a beta, they have added a sort of exclusivity to it which seems to have created a massive 'desire' in people which probably would not have been so great if they had just gone ahead with standard trials and then a launch.

Add to that the fact that the actual product is superb.....and what we are witnessing is internet marketing at its very best. Just sit back and look at the sheer number of people on the net as a whole who are desperate for a GMail address. That's some marketing achievement, especially given the saturation of existing free webmail services.

Better still, people are now desperate to carry the GMail logo in their sigs, on the websites, etc...all FREE advertising! And Google didn't even have to design or pay for the adverts, nor even ask for them, the users did it all off their own back! Incredible when you analyse it!

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Just as well, otherwise you poor impoverished PC users wouldn't be able to open them without some fancy graphics package installed. Us switched-on Mac addicts, on the other hand, enjoy native support of PSD format :D

Which reminds me, I simply couldn't get that little 300k file to open in PS 6 on my work PC (512MB RAM). It said there wasn't enough RAM! PS 7 on my Mac at home (640MB RAM) opened without a second thought. Wassup?! :confused:

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

No idea ?????

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

They should commission punky ;)

Thank you very much! :nworthy:

Re: Gmail Signature pics

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Thanks Mark B. I dont care what the others say mate, I think you're deadon. ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Can only rep you atm - but a chocolate cake when we meet! ;)
Many thanks! :nworthy:

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

Thanks from me too ;) Would have done it myself but was struggling with the layers in PSP :confused: and got dragged out into that funny stuff that they call fresh air to "help" clean a car ;) Looking forward to when Google and Hotmail go head to head to compete for our custom :) Looks like it will be a win win situation for the end users :) Thanks Dave etc for the time you are putting into the sigs for people :tu:

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

tehee time... guess i am lucky that I know how to tinker in photoshop. With the right knowhow it only takes a few seconds.

Also if people read back onto page 2 or 3, i forget, there is a link to a couple of layered TIFF files, if people aren't having success with the photoshop format :)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

and i will remember that if i ever turn up to one of these meets..... if you are not standing there with a banner and a chocolate cake for dave I shall not be happy ;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

*thumbs through numerous chocolate cake recipes*;)

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

numerous? i didn't think there were so many variations on the humble chocolate cake.... :erm:

Re: Gmail Signature pics
 

I'd like to make a very belated request for a Gmail sig pic please :)

Bit before the at symbol = matt.dodd

Cheers :)
