<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/9.jpg" title="Preview" alt="Preview" height="175" width="400" /></p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/start.jpg" /><br />
Start with a new document <strong>400&#215;175 px</strong> fill the canvas with black(<strong>#000000</strong>).<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/1.jpg" /><br />
Brush with your grunge brushes in white on the black<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/2.jpg" /><br />
Brush some black on top of the white if you want.<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/3.jpg" /><br />
Select some similar colors from your render. Then use a circular gradient like you see. Then <strong>filter &gt; render &gt; lense flare,</strong> <strong>105 prime</strong> and place it where your render will go.<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/4.jpg" /><br />
Finally set this layer on <strong>overlay</strong>.</p>
<p>Make 2 duplicates of your render (<strong>ctrl + j</strong>)</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/5.jpg" /><br />
Place your render on your lense flare and then go to <strong>filter &gt; blur &gt; gaussian blur</strong> with a <strong>setting of 6</strong>.<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/6.jpg" /><br />
On your other render layer set the layer style to <strong>Soft Light</strong><br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/7.jpg" /><br />
On your last render layer set it to <strong>Overlay</strong> and then go to <strong>image &gt; mode &gt; color balance</strong> adjust all the settings until you get yor render the colors of your background.<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/8.jpg" /><br />
to add the border go to <strong>edit &gt; stroke</strong> with <strong>black and 5px thick</strong><br />
then go to <strong>edit &gt; stroke</strong> again with <strong>4px white</strong> this time.<br />
<img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/sig/9.jpg" /><br />
this is my final. Just add in your name and you are done!!</p>

<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/adbanner/IMG1.jpg" title="IMG 1" alt="IMG 1" /></p>
<p><span id="more-9"></span><br />
First of all create an orange to yellow gradient BG like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/adbanner/IMG2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now add a rising sun vexel style brush in white and set it to <strong>Overlay</strong> at <strong>23% opacity</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/adbanner/IMG3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now add a circle elipse in the top corner, and then select the custom shape tool and place two birds there.</p>
<p>Now add your text.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/adbanner/IMG4.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now you can add a border to fit the style of the graphic. Maybe a black or dark orange/yellow border will do.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;re done!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial I am going to teach you the basics of smudging and filtering. The final outcome will look like this: <img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG1].jpg" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span><br />
Start off by opening a new document (<strong>file&gt;&gt;&gt;new</strong>) and set the size to <strong>375&#215;150</strong>. Now get a <strong>psd</strong>(available at sites such as psdprotocol.com) and put it into the center of your signature. Duplicate this twice and fill the entire space with the two cuts.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG2].jpg" /></p>
<p>Now duplicate the front layer. Hide the layer behind the new front layer, select the chalk brush, and set these settings: Shape Dynamics: Size Jitter- <strong>48% Control</strong>- Pen Pressure Angle Jitter- <strong>100% Control</strong>- off Roundness Jitter- <strong>0% Control</strong>- off <strong>Flip X and Y both unchecked</strong> Scattering: <strong>Scatter- 260%</strong>(both axes unchecked) Count- 1 Count Jitter-<strong>7% Control</strong>- Off <strong>Smudge around</strong> until you get something like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG3].jpg" /></p>
<p>Now duplicate the main render again and select the smudge tool with the grass brush(same settings as the chalk brush) and smudge the render again. Set this layer to color dodge and sharpen it twice.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG4].jpg" /></p>
<p>Duplicate the render again, and grab the leaf brush, smudge it and set it too vivid light at <strong>40% opacity</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG5].jpg" /></p>
<p>Now duplicate the main cut and set the new main cut to <strong>lighten</strong> and<strong> gaussion blur the old one 0.9%</strong> to give it a glossy look.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG6].jpg" /></p>
<p>Now add a border, a few gradient maps and some text. And you are done.</p>
<p><img src="http://designerer.com/tutorials/smudge/[IMG1].jpg" /></p>
<p>Hope you created a nice graphic and maybe even learned a thing or two.</p>
