First of all, you need to find your render, try to find one that doesn't have a lot of space around its arms, or doesnt have a cape, because
then it will not looks so great with empty space.
For the signature I used this render:

1) Open a new document, with a white background, any reasonable signature size will do (don't make it too large
).2) Go Edit---> Fill (shift + F5, or set black as foreground ( I think) and click control shift backspace)
3) Duplicate that layer, so now you have two black layers:
When you have done that, then you go to filter --> Render ---> Lens Flare set on these settings: (make sure that you put the lense flare under
where your render is going to be located).
4)Then to make it look better, erease the part that is next to the actuall part that is bright. (circled in image below, and make sure that you
did the lense flare on top black layer)
5)After that, you can open up your render, again, here is the render I used:
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/Tra...oredcore2er.png
and place it on the right side (you can choose wherever you want, but make sure that the lense flare is under the render).
Resize the render to the size you want, or leave it if nescesery. Then duplicate the layer (Control J) and click the little eye next to the
layer in the layer pallete.
6)I am not the GREATEST at smudging, but I am not horrible, let me show you how the outcome should be (does not matter what brush you use, and
you might want to smudge a bit more then shown
):
7)Set that layer on colour burn, colour dodge, or overlay, whatever setting suites it the best. Then duplicate the layer, then put it on colour
burn, colour dodge, or overlay, whatever setting suites it the best, but make sure it is not to dark, it should look like this after:
8) Once you have done that, un-hide the hidden render (click on the little eye again).
9) (you can choose if you include/exclude this step from the signature) duplicate the render again, and then set it on hue, then the next one
on soft light, or a setting that suites it... (you prolly shouldnt do this
)10)Mkay when you are done that, create a new layer (control shift n) and take out your pencil tool at a 1 pixel thickness, colour white. Then
trace your render with it, then set that layer on overlay, if you want, you can create a new layer again, scribble a bit over the render, then
lower the opacity, and set it on overlay, so it looks a bit..... well, how do I explain it.. Cool? Lol. Your outcome should look like this:
11) Ok, next step you create a new layer, on top of all layers (control shift N), go to image --> apply image and set it to this:
12) To the layer you just completed by applying that image, you need to follow this tutorial: ( I made, it is short)

13) You may have to remove some steps on that tutorial, or not, you just need to make that tile effect, and that is it. Once you made that,
erease all the tiles on the render, and then lower the opacity of your eraser, and erase the rest of the part, so it isnt as.... as.. intense..
14) Next
you can create your border!Mkay, im not sure if this will confuse you or not, but i will try to explain it the best i can.
Click the letter U, it should hilight a tool that is nine tools down from the top, in the right collumn. Right click that tool, then select
rounded rectangle tool.
Set the tool on these settings:
once you select that, click the top left of your signature with it, and hold the mouse down (dont do it at the top left corner! go more right
so you cut some of the ugly junk on the left side off) and then drag down, all the way down to the bottom of the signature, then drag to the
right, and drag the curves of the right side over the sig, so that side will be square. here is an image on how it should look:
Take pen tool, right click that circle thing you put, and click make selection, then copy it into a new document with a transpaernt background
15) copy that into a new document, and select the outer border of the image (make sure background is transparent!) and click stroke, set it on
these settings: (on a new layer)
then set that layer to overlay, add your text, and voila! here is a complete version of the signature:
Thanks for viewing, tell me of any errors please!
