Creating an AWESOME signature!

I've come up with a simple tutorial to create an AWESOME signature....


1)Open a new document with height 100 pixels and width 450 pixels (or use the desired size of ur signature)

2)Filter--->Render--->Clouds (Make sure your foreground color is black)

3)Filter---->Distort---->ZigZag and use the following settings

Amount: 100 %
Ridges: 4 %

Your image should now be looking like this...

4)Image--->Adjust--->Hue/Saturation (CTRL+U). Tick the Colorize option.
Feel free to play with the colors here. I used the sittings:
Hue: 256| Saturation: 50 | Lightness: 0

You just created the background for ur siggie.

NOW FOR A BIT DIFFICULT PART:

5)Create a New Layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N)

6)Select the Rectangular marquee tool and make a selection like:

7)Edit--->Fill--->Use: White
Also deselect the marquee (by clicking somewhere outside the image)

8)Layer--->Layer Style--->Blending Options....

a)Make Opacity: 50%
b)Select Drop Shadow (with default options)
c)Stroke with Size:1 and Color: Black

Now it'll be:

9)Next select the Text tool and type your name or whatever u want in such a way that the font size is not larger than the white patch..... Now drag the text onto the white patch...
