No sound, since that'd make it longer to make the video. Though instructions are below, I'll be adding this to my 'blog' on here.
(Took about 5 and a half minutes, but I condensed the video to about 3:30 Enjoy.
Tutorial for first time photoshop users. On how to make a quick good looking image.
Awesome Sig is the name haha and here is a quick tutorial on how to make this quickly.
One find the character you want to use.
Take a screen shot.
Open it with Photoshop.
Use the Polygon Lasso, (click a point then the next point)
Control+C, then Control+V (Copy - Paste)
Open a new document (or change canvas size to anything 500 by 100px or smaller)
Either paste the finished character or drag it into the new document.
Place into a cool position.
Now put a background, since I want to make it rounded edges I use that shape and press Option+Command+G (Mac shortcut don't know the PC shortcut sorry.)
Find a background image If you haven't already, save it, open in photoshop.
Open as File - Smart Object then place into sig document.
Place into background, (in this case into the shape, I do not know the PC shorttcut sorry.. setting in the layer)
[B&M] Bevel and Emboss at any setting you like (right click layer on right, click blending options)
You can also add a gradient over an image to add a few different shades to the image. Though choose a transparent one or lower the Opacity until desired settings.
B&M the character also! With the background also and it'll look cool, just set the setting to something the fits the images.
Then anytime in the mix you can add the text. Choose a font, and color. Then B&M if you want.
Go to File, Save for Webs and Devices, what's not shown is to click the quality number, move it up until it's under 15kb. As high as possible.
Save and upload!
