Satire's Basic Signature Tutorial

[Satire]

Edit 3/27/10: Switched title to better suit the "masses"

HOLY FUCK I'M FINISHED. Aight, so people been waiting on me to do a tutorial and reveal my "Secrets" to them.

To be honest, there isn't much "Secret" to it because most of this shit is pretty basic and easy, but everyone's gotta start somewhere so I'm gonna throw ya'll a bone and show you how I did about 80% of the sigs I post on this site. Its very formulated, it's very simple, and you should come up with a similar result everytime.

This was made using Adobe Photoshop. You can find pirated versions of these babies lying all over the web but your best bet is probably Youtube. Feel free to post results and enjoy.

Mad props for this.

I don't why you specifically said "Hip-Hop Signature" when this tutorial can obviously be applied to anything, but good stuff.

Does that Ea mark say "Let's make smart cool"?

Thanks, and Yeah.

And the reason I put "Hip-Hop" is because the best results I've ever had with this method was on Hip-Hop renders plus, being a Eminem/Hip-Hop forum, that seems to be the type of sig that attracts the most attention & interest on this board.

If you think it would "better" the topic if I removed the Hip-Hop part from the title, I can always remove, broseph

Well, not everyone likes rap here.

I have a question.
Can you use any size image to fit in the canvas?
Could you take a thumbnail sized image, for example, and blow it up to fit the canvas (without distortion)?

[Satire]

In most cases using small images/renders is a bad idea unless of course, the signature is small itself. It will always end up distorted and stretched out.

That's why I try to look for large images because they generally end up having a better quality.

[Solace]

Pretty nice, I always wondered how you did that stripe thingy in most of your sigs.
