With this tutorial you will learn how to make a simple signature for yourself.

1)First we need to start off with a 400px X 150px blank image

2)Now we need to use some brushes with the color black.

3)Now we want to create a new layer and brush it with some other brushes (can be the same ones), but with white:

Make sure to set this layer to overlay.

4)You can repeat steps 2-3 if you want to have more brushes show up.
Make sure you set the layers to either overlay or soft light.
I brushed it a couple more times and here is what i got:

5)Now we are going to add a render. Place it where ever you want and switch the layer to luminosity.

6)Now we are going to add some text. Here are the blending options you should set on the text layer:
Font Color: White
Drop Shadow: Default Settings but distance at 2 pixels
Inner Shadow: Default Settings but distance at 4 pixels
Outer Glow: Default
Bevel and Emboss: Default but Size at 0 pixels
Satin: Default
Stroke: Default but with 1 pixel size and black color

7)Now we are going to do some color balance to give it some color to stand out.
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance and do these settings:
Midtones: +40, 0, -30
Shadows: +40, 0, -30
Highlights: +40, 0, -30

8)Now go to Filter > Render > Clouds you should have something like this:

9)Repeat step 7-8 but with these settings:
Midtones: -20, +30, 0
Shadows: -20, +30, 0
Highlights: -20, +30, 0

10)Repeat step 7-8 again but with these settings:
Midtones: 0, -20, +20
Shadows: 0, -20, +20
Highlights: 0, -20, +20

11)Should have something like this once your done with steps 9-10:

Nice result, however.. i think the tutorial lacks detail - for example:

2)Now we need to use some brushes with the color black.


I think you are fogetting that not everyone knows how to install brushes, use them, put your foreground to black... etc

Not a bad tutorial, but could be improved with more detail to each step
