Graffiti Style Sig Tutorial

Graffiti Style Sig Tutorial made in adobe photoshop 7.0 by The Dazzler

First open a new document by clicking file new and using these settings or you can use any size you desire.


Now u should have a black bg like this.


So fill in the bg with any kinds of brushing.
This is what i came up with. You can also change the color of the bg by clicking layer and new adjustment layer now color balance and play around with the colors but i made mines green


Now Find a pic or any render you want. Copy the pic and place it in the bg. Now u can blend the pic a little bit by using the lasso tool located in this picure.


now circle it around the picture and click on add layer mask located right here.


After your done with that make a new layer by clicking Ctrl+J and now go to your layer on your right where it says normal and change it to overlay. After you done that now click on on Filter and Blur and then Gaussian Blur and set the settings to 4.0 like this.


Now your whole sig should look something like this.


Now its time to make a border so make a new layer by holding shift+Ctrl+N and click select all now edit stroke set it to 3px Black and location click inside and ok. Now click edit again and stroke now set it to 2px and color white and location inside and press ok.Now go to your layer setting on your left switch normal to overlay and deseclet now you should get something that looks like this.


After that Hold shift+Ctrl+E to merge visible now click filter and find texture and click on texturizer. Now use these settings like i did in the pic and click ok.


Now its time to add text so find the letter T on your left and type anything you want but i typed in Jade and choose andy kind of font that looks like Grafitti.
After you typed in what you wanted click on layer style and choose blending options and change it to overlay.Now add a drop shadow,and an outter glow but change it to white and last add a black stroke and click ok.

Now you are done so save it and now you have something that looks like this.

NICE MAN!!! GREAT TUT!!

 

its not that bad. thanks

 

Its pretty kool. Did u just put the test to overlay or something?

 

the tutorial is ok, but i dont like the effect of the bricks and the text. I know that was the hold point but i didnt like it.

 

its okay not a real fan of it.

 

Dude, that's pretty neat, althought the result looked a bit weird, I think the possibilities to further expand the technique is a lot deeper.

 

very nice..although i dont really like the brick looking effect..still very nice tho

 

It's okay, not really my style though...
