When Requesting a Sig/Tag you must remember to give as much detail as possible. This is to benefit you as a customer, so you are not dissapointed with your Request. This also helps the designer to know exactly what he/she is designing.
A layout that will help alot of designers with a request from you is the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------[/color]
Request Layout: Name: (Name you want on the sig)
Subtext: (Title or Quote on the sig, e.g "Smuttny is sick")
Render/cut: (linking to a render is helpful if you wish to have one)
Example :
http://www.clantemplates.com/renders...image_id=1260
Colours: (Usually 2 or 3 colours max are best to pick, so that they don;t fully restrain the artist)
Theme: (Grunge, Abtract, Tech, Vector, No Brush etc.)
Size: (The size of the canvas, e.g 360 x 90 px)
You can also add more or not use the ones you are least concerned about.[/color]
Keep in mind: Just because you request a signature, does not mean that the artist is obligated to make it for you.
