This was inspired by denkikoiji tutorial. This signature is a basic tutorial. I am not that good, but I think I got the basic stuff down. I am to lazy to make it look like a fancy tutorial. Since it was based on someone's tutorial I really don't care if this is ripped or not.

1) Open any size no bigger than 400x200 ( I normally use 350x150)



2) Then add a render of your choice ( You should get a picture that corresponds well with your canvas) Now we have to resize the image. To do this press "Ctrl + T" and hold "Shift" and drag the CORNERS if you don't drag the corners it will looked stretched and strange.



3) Now press "Ctrl + j" to duplicate the layer. Press it 3 times. Click the bottom layer and go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. On the angle in put 0 and the distance 108. Duplicate it 3 times and move the blurred images where you want them, and then merge them. Click the 2nd duplicated render and go back to Motion blur, but this time add 50 for angle and keep the 108 for distance. Again duplicate it 3 times, and move it where you want it, and merge the layers. To merge layers press "Ctrl + e"



-Optional- If you are a advanced Photoshop user you can add a C4D if you want, just make sure it matches well with the signature and set it to overlay.


4) Create a new layer "Ctrl + Shift + n" and this will be your brushes. I used this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and use the color's black and white.



5) Create another layer, and then get a color that stands out in your signature. In this case I will be using the "Ribbon Blue" on my render. Then color the whole layer to that color and change its blending to "Overlay" if you want you can change to opacity to what suits your taste.

6) Create a new layer and go Image>Apply Image.


7) Then go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and choose 1.0, and then set it to overlay. If it doesn't look right to you change the opacity level.



-Optional- If you want a border create new layer and press "Ctrl + a" and then hit stroke. It doesnt mater what you choose, but I will pick inside at 3px.



9) Then add a text and you should be done. For me as of right now I don't know how to use text to find a good tutorial that will teach you how to text properly.

-Finished Product- It should look something like this.



I tried my best to make this simple as possible. If you have and questions feel free to post the question, and I will do everything I can to help you out. Please post the results as well.
