First you'll need to collect your own material. Your material consists of Anime or any other Character Render, clean wallpaper and abstract render if needed.

First thing first, you need to have photoshop.

To start off, you'll need to click File>New...
Now we need a signature banner size; that I will be using 400x140 pixels.

Here are the matterials>>

I'll be using Emperor Lelouch hubahuba

As a character sig.

High Graphic Fantasy Wallpaper

As my abstract I'll use Eden of The East anime opening theme.

Now you need to open everything inside the photoshop.

Here's the part I like the most. Click and drag one by one of your material into your new 400x140 pixels will be known as untitled-1.

First materail you'll need to drag to your new untitled-1 is either the abstract or the wallpaper. Lastly you'll be dragging emperor lelouch in.

Here is a preview

On my right preview, you can see my layers that I've drag in. The 4 layer i use is a gradient. Leave layer 3, layer 1 and background as it is.

For layer 2, lets have fun for now before going to layer 4.
In layer 2, I mess with my Opacity and the layer normal i change it to darken; you can also mess around with it they consists of many variety besides normal. You can change it to multiply, light or anyother to suite your taste.

After you done that lets go to layer 4. As you can see on my preview image on my left there is a icon selected and that is gradient. For layer 4, you need to open a new layer for it, then you can use gradient. Choose the gradient color you like. Then click and drag to see the effects. Now you see why your who image is gradient color now.

Don't panic veryhyper

Remember Opacity and ohter than normal? Just play with it in layer 4.

On the right of the layer 4 you can see a "f" on the right, right?
Now you need to go to your layer 4 after you finished with your gradient and opacity and other than normal.

Right click on the layer 4, as a menu pop up. Choose Blending Options...

Once you're inside, there are too many options.

Here's a blending option preview

As you can see my layer option is Overlay that i choose. Plus i only thick inner glow as my finishing touch.

Now you can save your work. And that it. Your very own simple banner signature.

By the way this signature isn't claim as yours yet. The important touch and Grand Final is your Text. That will be your name to act as an copyright. hubahuba
