Category: Photoshop tutorials > Forum Signatures - Difficulty:


Welcome, today you will learn how to make this signature :

Make a new document 400 by 90 and fill it with black .

Now, past your stock and re-size it. Add Vector mask and then erase around the render to blend it with the tag. For the erase use a soft round brush.

Make a new later, take out your brush tool, select a nice looking brush, I think grunge will be the best, and brush on the left side of renders head. Do the brushing in white color .

Make a new layer, select your brush tool and with a soft round brush make a black dot there where u brushed one step before, size around 300px . Now make over the black dot a orange dot, use a smaller size of the dot, around 280px. U should have something like this now :

Set the layer to Linear Dodge .

Brush with your grunge brushes on the left side of the tag ( bottom ) use for this orange color. When you’re done with brushing set the layer to Linear Dodge.

Now we’ll make our lighting better, select your brush tool, and with a soft round brush and red color, make a dot on the right side of the renders head, make the dot on the bottom of the tag. Set it to Color Dodge.

Now, brush in black with your grunge brushes, and then make a orange dot on it, brush on the right side of the tag, on the right of the dot we made on step before.

Find a nice stock that has got lighting effects and past it, re-size if need, past it on the right side of the tag then erase everything except the lighting effect this is what I have :

Set it to Lighten .

Now add Photo filter ‘’ layer – new adjustment layer – photo filter ‘’ and use this one :
