This is My First Tut, so tell me what you think. 1. Open a new document (I chose 400 px x 150 px) 2. Press D to reset your colours and then click on the Gradient Tool with these settings:  [N.B. the settings that I've pointed to can be changed, when I did this I varied between the 5] 3. Now go crazy with the Gradient Tool over your document, until you're happy. Mine turned out like this:  4. Now Go Filter -> Stylise -> Find Edges so it should look like this:  5. Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Invert or Ctrl + I so it should look something like mine:   6. After inverting, go to Filter -> Sketch -> Chrome with the settings to the left. [N.B. This next step is optional, but it creates a good effect] 7. Go to Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects. These are the settings I used, but play around until you get a look you like [play around with the colours, Exposure and Ambience]  8. Once you're happy with that, go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation or Ctrl + U (you should get a box like this:  9. Play around with the saturation, and hue, until you get a colour you like. Mine looked like this:  [N.B. finishing touches: I added a border and text, and came up with this:]  If you would like to learn how to do the border click here |
