    Hi guys, I will be showing you how to make a Vector sig. I actually learnt it then i thought I'd share.



    First you will be needing brushes.

    SO here you go.

    VECTOR TUTORIAL.

    1) File>>New. Open up your canvas and give it a size. I use 350x150 typically on most of my canvases.

    2) Now you will want to grab a render. You can use vectors, cartoonist style etc. If it is too big, resize it. Drag it into your render layer. Place it where you want it.

    Heres how mine looks right now:

    3) Now you may want to pick your own back/foreground color but i pick them from the render itself. So pick your B/F color (background foreground). Hide the render by clicking the eye on the left side of the render layer.
    Take out the Vector Brush.

    4) Make a new layer first. Take out the 481 px brush and with any of your color brush right in the middle or any way you want it. It doesnt really matter.

    5) Make another layer. Switch your color by pressing X. Take out the 486 Brush now and brush.

    Heres what I have so far:

    [​IMG]

    6) Now you want to switch to the other set of brushes called herokeepers circle brush set. Take out the 386 one.

    7) I suggest rotating the canvas by 90CW. You now have a horizontal canvas. Now with your 386 circle, brush whereever you want. Rotate the canvas back again to 90 CCW.

    Hers what i have:

    [​IMG]

    8) Make a new layer. Now, go back to the Vector brushes. Take out a 239 brush and switch your color.Brush over the cirlce brush.

    9) Take out a 115 brush and brush anywhere you want it. I brushed on the right and got this.(you can switch your color if you want.)

    [​IMG]

    10) Whew, done with the brushing... Ok now go to each layer and go to Layer->Layer Style->Gradient Overlay.

    11) YOUR GRADIENT MUST BE THE B/F COLOR!! You can do anyhow you want it. Do it to every layer of brushing only!! You can change the syle to linear, angle any thing you want. You can also clcik on reverse.

    Hers what you should have now or pretty close:


    [​IMG]

    12) Now go to each brush layer again and duplicate each one of them.
    Do a 3.5 radius Gaussian Blur on each on of them and set the duplicated layers to darken.

    13) Unhide the render and put it on top of all the layers. Duplicate it. Blur it(Gaussian) and set it to Darken also.

    14) Now for the border, do a new layer on top of everything and press CTRL+A. Go to Edit and then stroke. Do a ipx black stroke.

    15) Make another layer. Do the same thing. Hit CTRL+D. Change the bottom one to Gaussian Blur.

    You should now have this or pretty close to it.

    [​IMG]

    16)Now, once you have that, add the Text. I used the font Phrixus.
    Set the whole thing to 24 and first letter to 30 andalso change the color of your first letter to anyone of the color. Duplicate the text layer.

    17) Click and drag to the bottom so that you transform it and so it looks kinda refected. Youre gonna lower the opcity to about 30.

    FINAL OUTCOME: [​IMG]

    18) And youre done! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I also hope it helped you as well.You can also post up your results! Also I give some of the creddit of this tutorial to Push from Elite GFX studios.
