Sig tutorial

[Uziel]

1. first open an image, whatever size you want, more width than hiegth.
2. make oyur background white, then go to filter>render>clouds.
3. make a new layer and go to edit>fill>pattern select anyone you want, but make sure it looks good.
4. make another layer and repeat step 3 but select a diffrent pattern
5. set both layers on overlay and there opacity 40.
6.select the top layer(which should be a pattern one) then click the button on the bottom by the layers window that looks like a gradient.(says creat new fill or sdjustment layer on rollover)select color balance. mess around with the colors
7. turn off top layer and select layer below, repeat step 6 but try to get a diffent color
8. now if it looks good go to go to step nine, if not start over, use diffrent colors and diffrent patterns.
9. now make a border below the two patterns. make it a weird shape. then add drop shadow opacity of 50, inner shadow, opacity of fifty, bevel, size 1(or 0) then a stroke, size 1.
10. make some text above the pattern layers. i used elephant, use a good bold font, repeat step 9 on the text(go to color overlay and make the text like #222222 or something).
11. now go on the internet and find a chracter from a game or something (i got a character from magna carta, use whatever) now edit it so it shows up how you want it to, try to make the part you want to show up below the top of the border(you'll see why below)
12. now ctrl+click on the border layer, then go to select>inverse, go up to the layer the character is on and delete.,

i forgot how i made my border transparent, i waited about an hour after i did it to right this tut. im very forgetful.
