I've decided to teach people who may need help with making a signature with good ol' Photoshop =]

Here we go...


First Step [Creating your document]
Create a new document, Use 350H x 125W it looks pretty good =]

Step Two [Finding your render..]
You're gonna need a render, so browse around Gamerenders.com, you should find something.. **You need to register to see all the renders**
I have a 4xxMB folder of renders and backgrounds but its to big to upload.

We're gonna use this:


NOTE: Open your render and do your image adjustments there!


Step Three [ Placing your render ]

Now, resize your render to the size of our canvas. So if our canvas is 350 x 125 make your render to 350H (the Width will fix itself according to your height.)

When your done all that you should get something like...
THIS:



Step Four [ Duping the render]
Copy and paste your render 3, 4, heck maybe even 16 times around your canvas so there is no visible white spots.



Step Five [ Merging the layers ]
Once you pasted all your renders in to look like the above image, look in your layer box


Hold CTRL and click all your layers from 2 to how many layers you have. BUT NOT LAYER 1! (that is your main image)

Now press (ctrl + e) this merges all the layers to ONE single layer

Step Six [ Making the background look good]

Now click the layer you just merged and look at the top where file and all that is, go to
Filter > Blur > Motion Blur

Use these settings: Angle (47)
Distance (60)

They look good, but you can use anything =]

You should end up with something that looks like this:


now duplicate that layer

Step Seven [Overlaying the background]

Copy that merged and blurred layer and paste it in.
once its pasted in do this:


You should get this..


Step 8 [The final step..]
Drag Layer 1 to the top of the layer box so your signature looks like this:


Add your name in there with a fancy font and YOUR DONE

To fancy up your font a little, pick a font.. type in your text, click the text layer and press


Fool around in that menu and thats it. :D
