Alright. It's just a quick heads up.

I have a Hell of a lot of Jimi Hendrix & Feeder CD's to put on my iPod. Music first. Rest of world later.

1. Duplicate whatever layer you want to have the squares effect on. Personally I'd flatten all picture images, duplicate it, and leave the border and text as different layers above the duplicate & original layer.

2. Select this layer and go to Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic. Leave Square settings to however you want it. Usually on a 400x150 signature I'd do 30 pixels.

3. Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen. Do this twice.

4. Set Duplicate layer to around 25 - 30% opacity.

5. Done. Go get yourself a Fosters, put on iTunes and give yourself a pat on the back.
