How to make…… Basic Grunge Sigs

Tools needed:

Photoshop
Basic knowledge of photoshop

Step 1:

Choose a Picture

Select two colours from this picture using the dropper and set them as foreground and background colours respectively.

Step 2:

Open a new image, any size will do really, I used 350 x 130 for this tutorial and go to filter > render > clouds.

Then drag your first image into this new one; it will form a new layer, layer 2.


Your colours may vary depending on which colours u took from the original picture, but as long as it blends together fairly well, it’s ok.

Step 3:

This is the main part now, you need to download some grunge brushes, I suggest http://www.deviantart.com, they have a good selection of grunge brushesor go here

Once u have loaded these brushes onto Photoshop, start applying them in a new layer to your sig using the colour black. After u have put a decent amount on, make the setting from normal to soft light. This should fade your brushes into the background slightly.

Step 4:

Repeat step 3 using different colour brushes and different setting; colour burn and overlay sometimes work well.

After u have applied about 6 layers MINIMUM, your design should look like this:



Step 5:

Add text and a border and maybe another picture, and you’re finished
