Want to create a super sweet BG? well follow this tutorial to find out how to...

1.) first go and find some nice brushes here: [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...]

the one i used for this sig is this one: [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...]


2.) press "D" & fill it with black

3.) now, make a new layer (shift + ctrl + N) and start brushing on that layer with white brushes (don fill entire layer, make it some spaces)
mine looks like this so far:



4.) then make a new layer (shift + ctrl + N) and start brushing on it with black, the same way you did with the white using different brushes in the pack

5.) keep switching between black and white, each with a new layer until you have 4-5 layers of brushing

6.) on the bottom of your layers palette, click on the yin yang symbol (4th from left) and go to color balance



fool around with where you put the bars on Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights till you get something you like and click ok

7.) click on the same yin yang symbol that you clicked to get to color balance, but instead get Brightness/Contrast
move the brightness and contrast bars where you like it
*always try to have a contrast bar more than the brightness... as it will usually produce a better look

here is what mine looks like so far:



8.) while on the color balance layer go to Filter > Render > Clouds

9.) now, make a new layer (shift + ctrl + N) and brush with white, in a similar way that you did before, and keep switching between black and white with new layers... using about 3 or 4 layers will be fine

10.) and again, make a color balance, and brightness and contrast, set them to how you would like, and while on the color balance layer go to Filter > Render > Clouds

Mine looks like this:



you can keep going, or you can stop, i usually have about 4 sets of these...
each set consists of:
4 brush layers (switching between black and white)
a color balance
a brightness/contrast...

here is mine after 4 sets:



now you just have to add a border, some text, and a renders if you want
i am not going to use a render in this sig, just b/c i would rather leave it ALL brushed

here is my FINAL product:
