    Could it be possible for someone here who is not artistically challenged, I am not artistic what so ever. To make me a personalized background?
    Or would that not be possible?
    I know everyone has priorities that would exceed the importance of this, but maybe in someone's spare time?
    Just curious, was a member of another forum where they had "sticky" threads pertaining to making custom Signatures for the members.

    Hey Spock.

    I'd be happy to help you out if you have something in mind. :) I'm not sure what you mean by personalized background though. A background for what?

    Thank you Laura,

    Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that. It was going to be a background for my desktop. :-o Oops.

    I had wanted one that was based around my user name "Spock96".
    Don't want like a Star Trek theme though, :eek
    Just something neat.

    Sorry for being vague. Lol

    lol...you are really looking for creative here.;)

    Okay...so you want your user name in there? Do you like any color themes? Any images? Are you looking for a lot of images or minimalist? What type of visual theme? Gothic, futuristic, horror?

    I can't do graphic drawing, so if you are looking for that, I won't be able to help you.

    Was your name in that forum, the same as it on here? I only ask because this sounds very familiar to a forum I used to be a part of.

    Yes,
    Do, did you ever play the game Evony?
    If not then I don't think you'd be on their forum. :p:-D

    No, I didn't. I don't even know what game that is. :-D

    It just sounded a lot like a forum I used to belong too. The more talented individuals would make "signatures" for the artistically challenged members and the eventually the forum started having a weekly signature contest and whoever won would get to choose whatever title (within reason :-D) they wanted. I know not many forums do this which is why I was curious.

    It's a real time strategy game based in Medieval times, where you build a city and an army and you can go war with other players and take cities/resources.
    Yes, I was addicted to it for a few years.

    Holy crap,
    That forum I mentioned did that too. Haha.

    It's a vBulliten based forum, like this one.
    But I can't post my signature picture that one of them made for me. :(
    Don't know why.

    It was a while ago but I think it was a vB based forum as well.

    Here is one that someone made for me (I'm one of the artistically challenged ones LOL). I had more but I can't find them. :(

    @Laura-- If you don't have time, or just can't think of anything. It's perfectly fine. :)
    Just got bored and wondered about it is all, would like to see what you could come up with though.

    Dy has to many shoes.
    I have 3 pair of boots, 2 pair of actual shoes and maybe one pair of sandals somewhere that's all. My one pair of boots has gone 6-7 years almost everyday.


    What I'm saying is you don;t need a collection of shoes. :neener

    Shoes are the cure all for anything that ails you!:-D


    k...I came up with this (lmao...since you give no indication on what you wanted). I spent way too much time on the text, but it was actually pretty fun since I only work with photography usually.

    There's definitely a way to use shoes as a weapon...well, a few ways. :-D

    Thanks, Fred. I created that too.

    I have it all in layers, Spock, so if you want anything changed, let me know. I can change positioning/size/etc of your username. I can change colors/brightness. I can add stuff. lol

    I can also send you a bigger file if you want me to email it to you. That's a pretty small file for a background.

    :) Cool. I'm glad you like it. I love learning how to do different stuff with Photoshop so it was fun.

    I haven't used Photoshop in years.. I'd be lost with it now.

    It's a fresh install of 7 to get rid of that Zero Access infection and a few other things. Hoping to keep not much on it this time around. :p

    Just what idea do you have for the background? the idea is the most important thing, as in does it need to relate to "spock" in the Star Trek guise or something else?

    Avatars are cool to separate you from the rest but you need to be unique.

    Just sadly we do not allow signature images on majorgeeks, for you to show off the art.
