okay anytime someone wants to know how to make a sig vocabulary on what things are helps out so for the new GFXers here is some major Vocabulary you should know when making sigs.


Render: an image with no background used for the main character/image in a sig.

Stock: an image WITH a background usually used for making your own render.

C4D: A render but an abstract form.

Abstract: a picture/sig that is just designs for example modern art is alot of abstracts.

Filter: effects to make a sig look better examples are like liquify it makes a solid image look liquified.

GFX: abriviated for graphics.


BG: background.

Blending: anyway to make something blend in, like a render blending in with the background.

Grunge brushes: a brush or brush set used to give a sig/pic and abstract look.

Vector brushes: another brush or brush set to give an abstract look .

these are basic vocabulary words when doing GFX so if anyone is new or has no idea what a render, stock, abstract ect. is, hope this helped!

You should add a definition of "Texture". Great job nonetheless.

Vector is an Image which can be resized without risk of blurring or distorting the image.

The R4(R4DS) (http://r4ds.us/) Cartridge is the current top-of-the-line in DS SLOT-1 flash carts. It is just an amazing little device like original DS cart size, it is a complete solution with no need to purchase any additional components or deal with any messy software and truly the easiest media enhancer you have ever done; To simply put it, this is a must have peripheral for any regular DS/DS lite owner.
