Notes: This tutorial requires abstract brushes, star brushes(avoid grunge at all costs) a lot of duplicating and a cool render:
1. Open a new document (350x120 - transparent) and press “D” to reset your colors to black and white. Now get your abstract brushes and click wildly with them until u get something like this:
2. Duplicate that layer and go Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur, use a Radius of 4.5, click ok and then set it to Color Burn:
3. Make a new layer, pick another abstract brush and use black color first don’t over-brush it (2 or so clicks is enough). Now on the same layer pick another brush and make the color white and then click once or twice again (until you are happy with it really,this is just a guide ). I got this:
4. Duplicate it , go Filter-Blur-Gaussian blur - I used Radius 4.5 and click OK, now set it to overlay:(u can just go filter gaussian blur which should b at the top of the list with these settings already set)
5. Make a new layer and pick another abstract brush, use black color first don’t over brush it only one or two clicks is enough. Now on the same layer pick another brush and make the color white and then click once or twice. I got this:
6. Duplicate it and go Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur (Radius 4.5) and click ok, now set it to screen:
7. Now get your star brushes, use it on a new layer (use black color first and then white second) until you are happy with how they look: (to get the effect i got with my stars go to filter-distort-twirl set it how u want it)
8. Now for the render… get the render on a new layer(click n’ drag it, should put it on a new layer...but best to always check)
9. Duplicate the render and go Filter-blur-gaussian blur (radius 4.5), then set it to overlay:
10. Duplicate the original render (again) and set it to color:
11. Now add your color balance layer under the original render, it should look something like this now:
12. Add & place text somewhere on the signature, like so:
13. Now style the text using these settings:
14. Add some color to the font, and change the font-type to suit yourself..
15. Want a border?.. Add a new layer, go to select-all, then go to Edit-stroke (3px & white) and make sure its set to inside. Select all again > edit > stroke (1px & black) set it to inside again, and now give it a overlay.. Final Result:
