Help
Firstly, open up a new image with the dimensions of 400 x 125 pixels.
Go to:
Filters ---> Render ---> Clouds ---> Plasma
Click the box that says "Randomize" and hit OK.
You will get something like that. Now go to:
Layer ---> Colors ---> Desaturate
This will make the image black and white.
We are now going to add some colour. To do this, go to:
Tools ---> Color Tools ---> Colorize
Play about with the settings untill you get something you like. Try to make it match your render.
We are now going to add some cool effects. Press Ctrl + L to bring up the Layers Window. Select the layer you have just been working on (it should be called "Background") and duplicate it. Make sure the duplicated layer is active (by clicking it) and go to:
Filters ---> Blur ---> Gaussian Blur
Set both the horizontal and vertical boxes to 13. Hit OK.
In the Layers Window, set the blured layer's mode to "Overlay". "Color" can also work well. See which looks the best on yours. I used "Overlay" on mine.
Now for the render. Go to:
http://www.planetrenders.net or http://www.gamerenders.com
and search for one you like the look of. Save it to your PC. I shall be using this one I found.
Create a new layer and paste your render on to it. Move it about untill you are happy.
Make another new layer and paste your render again and again and again, then move them around and place them so they cover up the whole signature.
Select the layer with lots of renders on and go to:
Filters ---> Blur ---> Gaussian Blur
Set both the boxes to 18 this time and hit OK.
Now under "Mode" in the Layers Window, select "Overlay". Now take your original render layer and move it up above the blured, overlayed layer.
Now for some text. With white as your colour, get your text tool and type your name out in a font of your choice.
Set the layer Mode to "Overlay" and duplicate it untill it looks good.
We are now going to add a border. Go to:
Script-Fu ---> Decor ---> Add Border
Set both the X and Y size to 1 and change the colour to black. Press OK.
You have now made yourself a nice signature for use in forums, websites or anywhere!
