Signature Tutorial - Make easy, and clean signature in less than 5 minutes

Hello guys.
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make signature like this one:

This signature is not really hard to make, and it shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes.

Step1 First of all, you will have to create a new file, and size of it MUST be 500x150.
Once you’ve done that, you will have to fill that file any color.
(Color doesn’t really matter you just have to fill that file)

Step2 Now, you will have to find image of space/universe that you are going to use.
You can find one on wallbase.cc by searching for universe.
However, if you are too lazy to do that, you can download my personal universe gallery from here.

Step3 Okay, now when you have image that you are going to use, you want to drag it inside of Photoshop, and make sure that it’s under your main layer.

Step4 Good, right click on image that you’ve dragged into Photoshop, and click on “Create Clipping Mask” and after that you want to select both layers and while holding CTRL click E, or right click on one of those layers and click on Merge Layers.

Step5 Great job!
Now, it’s time to add text.
But before we do that, I would like to show you how you can change color of it.
To change color of it, you will have to create a new layer.

After new layer is created you want to fill it with color you would like to use, I’ll use blue for this tutorial.
Once you’ve done that, you want to change layer style from Normal to Darken or Hue.

Step6 Okay good, good job!
There are only couple more things we have to do! :D
Text, we need to add text!
Use any font you like, and type whatever you want to.
Place text wherever you want as well.
Double click on text layer, to open Blending Tools.

Step7 This step is not that easy for someone who is using Photoshop for the first time.
Not that hard, but confusing maybe.

Anyhow, you want to select all of the layers and then merge them.
(Right click on one of the layers and click Merge Layers, or while holding CRTL click E)

After that, you will have to go to Image -> Canvas Size...
And to the following:

Step8 Previous step wasn't that hard or confusing as I said, but this will be, again for people that are using PS for the first time.
So, I've decided to make a quick video, that will show you how and what to do!




NOTE: Opacity of it can be 50%, or 75% I used 75% in this video, however I strongly recommend 50%.
Also, you can remove shadow for the top of it, if you want to.
Here is a video how to do that as well.




Thanks for reading this tutorial.
Please leave feedback down blow.

Great tutorial. But do you know a good website that provides "signature backgrounds"?

Cool pictures to use as backgrounds.
