Other Comments : Good luck. Lets get started shall we? 1.) Create a new document. 300 x 120 Pixels. Transparent Background. Screenshot : 2.) Now, grab your paint bucket fill the background with " Black ". 3.) Now grab you brush tool and select one of the random " Soft Grunge Brushes ". Screenshot : 4.) Make sure your color is white, now brush little parts of the signature. Screenshot : 5.) After you have brushed in some spots, go up to Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Color Balance. 6.) Here is the listings for all 3 of them. You dont have to be exact, but put them something that you want your signature to look like heres mine. Screenshots : 7.) Now you should have something related to this. Screenshot : 8.) Now, find a decent render that will fit in the color scheme. Screenshot : 9.) Now cut out the green stuff and copy and paste the render into the signature and crop it. * Make sure its under the Color balance layer *. Screenshot : 10.) Now its time to blend it, Select your lasso tool and select roughly around the edges of the render. Screenshot : 11.) Right click inside the selected area and click on " Select Inverse ". 12.) Right click inside the selected area and click on " Feather ". Directions : Feather : 20 Pixels 13.) Now go up to Edit ( Top left of Photoshop ) and scroll down to " Clear ". 14.) Now you should have something similiar like this. Screenshot : 15.) Now time to add some text. This is the easy part. 16.) Grab your " Text tool " and type your username in it. Then move it to where ever you want it at. 17.) While you got the text layer selected go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and follow all of these steps. Blending Options : Drop Shadow : Inner Shadow : Bevel And Emboss : Stroke : Color Overlay : 18.) Now add a quote text and any other effects and your down!

Very nice tut! Basic grunge, but very nice screen shots in a orderly fashion. This should be of use for a lot of new comers (like me ) NICE!
Nice, it's like my tut in words, with some diffrences, mind if I put this on shard when it's back up? With proper credits of course.
Heh, thanks guys, hopefully i helped you out. ^_^ I can make great tutorials usualy better then this one, but i can never get any good ideas on what to make a tutorial on.
If you download Dark's brush pack, then upload them all. It should be a brush that looks like a cloud. Theres a row of liek 8 or 9 of them and i useed the top one. You can use any random one of those 9 - 8. Please post down your results if you guys make one of these.
