1. How to Request a signature
for Requesters

use the following steps to get the best signature for your fg:

• consider exactly what you are looking for.
• think carefully about what you want to pay. Try to keep your price range close, for example 400-500 fg and not 1-1000 fg
• think about a good Topic title. "400-500 fg for a Spiderman signature" is a good example of title.
• i would recommend a "red" and " Bold" Topic title.
• post pictures you would like to have in your signature (remember that the quality of a render could not be changed, so try to find something with a high quality).
• consider which size your signature should have. ( please respect the d2jsp rules )
• if you have any color preference please post them in your request topic.
• try to describe exactly what style your signature should have. ( traditional, Smudge, popout ) i will gave some examples below .
• consider what kind of text you would like to have in your signature. It is best if make previously thoughts about what Font do you want. ( i add some useful links below )
• think about how long you will run this request topic ( this topic will be closed in 4 weeks ). I made some good experience with really shot running time (1-2 weeks or just days).

3. How to create a signature/graphic service
for Artists

Now it is permitted to create an own signature/graphic service without trusted Tag. i will show you some steps how you can optimize your service.
Use the following stept to get as many requests as possible:

• think about a good Topic title. something with the word "Service" will add some attention to your topic.
• i would recommend a "red" and " Bold" Topic title in order to receive attention.
• explain in your topic how a customer can buy a graphic.
• write down exactly what information you need for the request. ( examples below)
• write exactly what you are offering ( signature, Avatars, guild chartas, profile designs ).
• choose prices for each service you are offering. i would recommend to use fix prices no matter how difficult it is.
• you should set rules for your service, for example: Eryery payment have to be sent upfront. ( you will see more examples below)
• i would recommend to add to add an Avatar for free to each signature ( i personally won't pay for an extra Avatar ).
• you should add a Gallery of premades you have done to show the customers what you able to.
