I thought if i made a hud w/ photo shop it would work.. it didn't! it showed up as a minature icon at 1,1... here's the code.. 
client/New()
    new /obj/hud/Hud(src)
    new /obj/hud/Speak(src)//Creates 
    ..() // Continues with the script
obj/hud//The actual Say Hud
    Hud
        icon = 'Hud1.bmp'
        screen_loc = "1,1"//
        New(client/C)
            C.screen+=src//Add it to your screen
    Speak
        icon = 'Speak.bmp'
        screen_loc = "3,1"
        New(client/C)
            C.screen+=src
is there a way where i can get the whole thing to show in the usr's view?? or will it always show up as a regular icon?

Good job using photoshop. The effects you can get there really give a game more professionalism.

You will need to break the photoshopped image up into 32x32 chunks in order to add it to your HUD. Then just position them all accordingly.
