Hello guys! Today i'm gonna show you how to create a good-looking text and what you must know in order to make it ! Text is an important part of a signature and you must work a lot on this. Before we start you should know that we have two different types of text. The first is the vertical and the other is the horizontal(Right click on the "T" and choose it).So, let's start. Select the type you want (I choose the horizontal) and create a small context near your render. You have to know that the text MUST be near the focal so your eyes will go there without "searching" the signature. When you create the context write the your name or w/e you want. Now we will make some settings. First of all, we must re-make the size of our text. Select something good to fit with your render...This is a very important part! After this, leave your imagination to work. See what will fit better! A glow ? a shadow ? Nothing ? You have many settings to work. I'm gonna show you how to create a glow,a shadow etc. When you create your text go the layer, right click and select the blending optionshttp://i26.tinypic.com/vzzkh3.png[/img] Don't panic of all these sh1ts. We gonna explain the basics here :) You see that we have the posibility to create shadows, glows and many more. We will add an outer glow so check it and then click on it. You will see that our text have glow and see some settings to change color,opacity etc. You can make w/e you want. I will show the settings i have to make your first steps. http://i30.tinypic.com/359zr4j.png[/img]. One more important part is the color of the text. You have to make a color which will fit to the signature. For example if the main colors of your signature are red,yellow,orange try to find a color which will fit to these colors. Check the other signatures in the forum to see what i mean or go to this section and see the work of the other guys ;) No we finished the coloring of the text, we made some settings and we ready! Create the borders(see here how) and you're ready! If you want show us your work in the section i wrote before. -All the credits goes to me -Don't post stupid comments :)

Just awesome!! ;) I love it!

I don't like it....Bad render placing,bad text and the bg is not so good. You should work more. Rate: 7/10

Hello MxC designers. This tutorial is dedicated to all the newbies photoshop users.I decided to make this guide because there are some users who don't know what is borders and how to put them. 1) What is borders ? Borders are some lines which cover the signature and make it more realistic and good-looking :) It's not necessary to use them in every creation...You can understand if it fit with you eye. 2) Why i must use borders ? As i said before borders make your creation more realistic and good-looking. It's good to use it. 3) How i use them ? FIRST WAY I'm gonna explain you 2 different types of borders. It's really easy ;) Let's go...When you finish your creation, create a new layer (alt+ctrl+shift+N or Layer>New>New Layer) and go to Image>Apply Image. After this, go to Edit>Stroke and choose the settings you want. The most common color is black and white. Choose 1px and press ok Here is the result: That's it. You're done! ;) SECOND WAY This is another way to put borders with a different style. When you finish your creation create again new layer and apply the image (check the first way on to do this) and select the rectangular marquee tool. Then go the top of your creation and make a veeeery thin line. When you do this, right click on the line, select fill and make the settings you want ;) http://i28.tinypic.com/5wyyh0.png[/img] When you finish do the same, but this time for the bottom of your creation. This was the second way. Very easy! Here is the result: I hope i helped to understand how to create borders :) More guides for newbies will come soon! Comments like "fail topic", "all ps users know that" will be ignored :) All credits to me!

Morian you answered my on the question i wanted to make about the black space so i don't have to ask you something...The signature is pretty good and you made a good job :) On the avatar put white borders and it will become better. Rate: 8/10

Τι μουσικούς ψάχνεις, από πια περιοχή είσαι, τι μουσικό όργανο παίζεις.

That's all i want to say...And a tip...When you use the smudge tool try to make lines in the one direction to have a nice result and not this.

I play there...But i don't know a sh1t xD It's really nice game...

This is not a render, it's an image and i don't think someone with cut this image for 1k adena. Also the image is LQ. Give us a render.

For first try its awesome ! Good color matching, good render placing...Make smaller borders (1px) and with some small fixes on the bg you will have an amazing outcome! :) Read more guides about the bg. Rate 9/10. Gj ;)

Come on guys....It's his first try...What did you expect ? About your creation...You must read more guides....I dont want to rate cause it's your first try and it will be bad to give a low rate. Read here some tutorials and try again ;)
