#1 This guide will explain to u how to properly cnc and rate a sig This is all based on wat i have seen from the na public on how they rate sigs. Table of contents: Section 1- Key concepts of cncing and rating. Section 2- How to base your ratings. Section 3- Determing if it is a sig or just some crappy thing or ripped. Section 4- How to give constructive critisim. Section 4- How to give constructive critisim.Section 5- How not to rate a sig. Section 1- Key concepts of cncing and rating. Rating- Lets start off wit rating. When someone asks u to rate u should give them an honset rating. Meaning that if u dont like the person it doesnt mean you should give them a bad rating or if ur having a bad day doesnt mean u can give them a bad rating. Look at section 2 on how to base ur ratings. Usually people will say to cnc along with ur rate. Not all people say this but out of curtisy u should do this. Standerd ratings are 1-10. Example of a rating: 7/10 Cnc- Cncing is when u tell the person y u like or dont like the sig. Here is an example of a cnc: The sig is ok. A lil to bright. And the render is a lil blurry. And the text is in a bad position. But there is good flow. In the cnc u should include some counstructive critism(unless u dont think its bad) and should include something good. Section 2- How to base your ratings. Main idea of rating- The main idea of rating is to see if the general public likes the sig u just made. Every gfxer wants a good overall rating. Of course people will always see flaws in everything so u cant expect 10/10's all the time. The people rating should rate on some certain princples and should stick to these princples whenever they rate to keep a consistancy. Here are some pricnples oon how to rate a sig: Some principles on how to rate a sig. 1. Basics and fundamentals- These things should always be a factor in making sigs. Things to look for in rating based on Basics and Fundamentals- Flow(does the sig go all together), Depth(does the sig not just look like u pasted a render), do colors match with render(render is also sometimes refered to as the focal, whichs means the picture the sig revoles around), is the render blurry?, is the sig to bright? or too dark?. just some things to looks for. 2. Advanced methods- this are looking at the the sig through the eyes of the gfxer who made it. Meaning trying to figure out how the sig was made. This should only be done by gfxers. This method usually leads to a bad rating and cnc. Things to look for- Did the sig take along time to make, did he just paste a render and add a few colors, wat type of sig is it( Possible types of sigs: abstract sig, stock sig, render sig, name sig.), could u have made it better with the resources that the gfxer used. 3. Your own opinon- When you rate a sig based on this ur goin to make urself looks like a jerk. Reason is because ur not basing ur ratign on anything just ur opinon. This method is often used by people who dont gfx. Section 3- Determing if it is a sig or just some crappy thing or ripped. This section is goin to be the shortest. It is very easy to tell if is a true sig or some crappy banner maker sig. It is usually easy to tell if a sig is ripped too unless the person ripping it has gimp or photoshop. Here are some signs to tell if a sig is not a true sig or ripped. Signs of a sig not being a true one- If the sig is made at something like mybannermaker.com then the sig will usually have something saying where its made at. Signs of a sig being ripped- It will have very crappy text or it will have text that say the original maker of the sig. This is y all gfxers should put their username of the site they are makin it for or something u will recongnize ur sig if u c it not on u. Section 4- How to give constructive critisim. This is called cncing. I have already explained wat cncing means at the begining of the guide. Here is how u should give constructive critisim. U should be strict when u rate but dont be a jackass. Meaning tell them how to improve but being nice about it. Example: U should change the font of the text. And u should also blend the render in a lil more. But overall it is not bad. U should also offer help if u are a gfxer. Meaning u should give them links to good site for tutorials . Rememeber that u should always be curtious then u cnc. Then people will begin to give u good constructive critism. Section 5- How not to rate a sig In this section i will explain how not to rate a sig. DONT be a jackass when u rate! This gets people to not like u. Dont say is crap redo it. Or i cant stand it i hate it u suck. DONT do that. ne nice and polite when u rate. If u give a bad rating u SHOULD give an explanation y u rated it like that. If u give a high rating u should still tell y u rated it like that but u dont have to. Thnx for reading my guide on how to properly rate and cnc a sig. If u have any questions or comments on the guide or anything in general please fell free to pm me. And remember that wat u say could effect a gfxer's career.

#14 I agree with 99% of it, but i think the only thing people should say when they see a sig made with paint, is this "0/10 No one should ever attempt a sig with paint" I'm leaving N-b. Goodbye to everyone.
