You can have the video file if you want to watch how I made it.

you need to learn how to smudge, and how to properly blend layers, and stuff like that

Tip#1

Dont blend a render into a sig. If you start out with a render and create effect layers above it, it will look eventually just blend itself. Remember, you have to use common sense with photoshop. To get rid of something on top of a stock or render use the erase tool < I know I know, I amaze myself as well

Tip#2

Dont use those damn brushes you find at deviantart. If you wh0re them your sigs will always be the same. I used to use them myself and it got me no where. If you take a stock and use different filters (try distorts) you will a better result. The only time I ever use brushes in when I smudge or use the o-so-fudging-beautiful clonestamp.

Tip#3

Use gradient maps, but dont over do it. Too much color always ends in an ugly brown. Also try the other color effects ps has to offer. Curves, Levels, Select color etc.

Tip#4

Dont smack a huge font on a tiny sig. Just dont b/c it bugs me, and it looks like crap

Tip#5

Dont be random. Sigs take thought. Think about the flow, depth, color, and the idea that you want people to get from the sig. I always use motion in my sigs.

Tip#6

Few more things to think about. Shading, break up of space, sex, LIGHTING.

Tip#7

Your never to good to read tutorials. Read them and then read them again. Tutorials teach the unteachable.

Tip#8

DONT EVER use pixel stretch as your sig backgrounditll look like shit 100% of the time

Tip#9

Dont BRUSH your sig backgroundslike said above all your sigs will look the same

Make the outside background crowded, and the middle of the image clean.

The video is rendering, it should be up shortly. Please ignore any aim chats :p. It was meant to be a speed art, where it would be much harder to notice.
