In this tut I'll show you how to make a simple, clean signature for any forum.

Start by making a new file, dimensions: 450x100


Make a new text layer with whatever you want as the text and any font.


Next, you want to right click on the text layer and go to blending options. Start by adding a drop shadow.


After that, add a gradient. Make sure you choose wisely with your colors.


Click on the gradient bar, when choosing
colors, on the far left of the bar, put a dark
version of the color. On the far right, put
the lightest. It should look somewhat like this...


Then you want to add a light stroke. Make sure the settings match these...


Lastly, you want to remove the white background to make the signature transparent.


Your signature should look something like the one below.
(Except the colors of course)


Hope you guys enjoyed this. It's not a real advanced signature, just something quick and clean for a new forum you join and need a nice sig.

I'll make a more advanced and animated tutorial sooner or later.

But for now, seeya guys around.

This is a good guide for those who want to get into the basics.

Good job on this, nice thread.

I'd drop the opacity and increase the spread of the drop shadow, but a reasonably good tutorial nonetheless.
