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 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!
