This one will probably only appeal to a certain crowd. It's a very...unique looking sig, check it out:

1. Start by making a new document (400x160) Transparent Background

2. Fill the Document with red:

3. Now using your lasso tool, go crazy on the canvas, just draw left and right, until you get something like this:

4. Now fill that with Black, using the "Paint Bucket Tool"

5. Now grab the Lasso Tool again, and once more, go crazy with it. Then fill that one with hot pink.

10. Now once again, like i've done in previous tutorials, it's time for a nice border. open your Blending Options, and use these settings:

Inner Shadow:

Texture Tutorial:

1. New Document 3x3 pixels.

Take your Pencil tool, and with black selected, place a dot, right in the middle of the canvas.

2. "Edit > Define Pattern" give it a name, and your done.

(To use this pattern, simply go to the layer you want it on, go: "Edit > Fill" with these settings:)
