6. Now when this is abstract signature so color is very important. So let's give it a nice color.

7.Now we add text in our sig.This is how we make it.Pick a nice font, i used Tiranti Solid LET and type your text what you want it to say.Well let's make a nice little effect there.

Right click your text layer and select blendindg options. Pick Outer glow and leave the outer glow settings to defaults.

 

8.Right click your text layer and select duplicate layer. Put the duplicated Layer under your original text layer,select the duplicated layer and then go:

Filter->Blur->Motion Blur And put the distance to 100,you can put whatever u want that is just what i used.
