When you become an IMVU creator, a head sign is one of the many products
you can create. The head sign is a message that appears above an
avatar's head on a profile page or chat room, an entertaining way to
dress up your character on this social networking site. Use your 2-D
paint program and the tools in your IMVU creator account to make a basic
head sign for your product catalog.

Log in to your IMVU account and
click the "Shop" link in the menu bar. Type "derivable head sign" in the

number that appears at the bottom of the page.

Click the "Create" button in the

the product ID in the Specify Product ID text field, and click the
"Derive" button in the bottom to load an avatar and control panel in the
Editor window.

Launch your 2D paint program and
create a new file in the same size as your derivable product (for
example, 512 x 256). Use the texture tools to create a layer with a
black background and a layer with a white background. Enter your head
sign message in the layer with the white background, and work with the
text tools to color your font white and apply the typeface and effects
you desire. Save each layer as a JPG or PNG file.

Return to the IMVU Editor page.
Click the "Edit" button in the texture box under the Texture Assets
section and select your file with the black background. Click the "Edit"
button in the opacity box and select the other file with the white

avatar on the left side of the Editor window.
