Drag and Drop Animated Sign Generator Help Pages
General You can use the Drag and Drop Animated Sign Generator to create all sorts of signs and edit other animations to make them truly unique. The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination.
Follow the tips below or just go ahead and try something out. For help with any selection, click on the selection title. If you run into problems, feel free to contact support for help
Animation Enter the address of an animation on a remote site. Maximum filesize 200k. Make sure it's a transparent image or it won't look good layed over the sign image.
Text Enter your sign message here. Max 255 characters including spaces. If you need to space the text down a line, try adding more spaces before and after parts of your message.
Font Choose the font that best suits your sign
Text Size It's up to you what size you want for your message text but too small and it'll be hard to read. Too large and it'll be annoying ;)
Wrap You can break your message into multiple lines by decreasing the wrap factor. A higher number means a longer string of text, and therefore a wider sign. A lower number will give you a narrower, taller sign image.
Text Align Left Center or Right aligned text is possible.
Text Color Choose a color that will contrast well with the sign background.
SignImage Choose your sign background. Click the "preview" link to view all available backgrounds and note the number to select.
Your image part You can also specify your own image part to use. Enter the address of an image ona remote site. If this image link is the same as the animation you chose, both images will be animated. Otherwise, if this image is animated but is different from the first animation, only the first frame of this animation will be used.
Post 1 There are 3 main post styles to choose from. Normally, you'd use a long post for the legs, and a shorter one for the small part of the post that will appear above the sign. You can also use these posts as lamp posts or whatever you like.
Post 2 Same as Post 1
Post 3 Same as Post 1
Weeds Use weeds to give the bottom of the sign post some realism. There are several styles of weeds and flowers available.
Lights The lights are for the top of the sign or they can be used for streetlamps, etc. Try resting them on the short posts above your sign.
Trees There are several tree styles available.
Stuff A variety of symbols and extras to help complete your sign.
Margins Margins are used to fine tune the sign. If you text is too close to the sides of the sign, increase the left and right margins. Same with the top and bottom. Some sign backgrounds have edges which require large top and side margins, plainer sign backgrounds can use a smaller margin, ie: 5 or 10
