Now that we have everything, we can begin.

1 Set your foreground color on black.

Open your image.

Go to Image-->

Add Borders --> 3 pixels black

2   Resize your image to 300 pixels high

Adjust--> Sharpness--> Sharpen.

Minimize your image.

3   Open a new canvas1024x450 pixels

4 Go to View --> Ruler and activate the ruler.

5    Go to  your Preset Shapes and find the ellipse:

"anti-alias" and "create as vector" checked

width 2.00

Foreground color black

Background color locked

6 Draw a shape from top left, one block from the side

to around 600 pixels - as in the screenshot below.

You can still drag the form out until you have the right shape

7 Go to Layers and convert the

vector layer to a raster layer.

8 Draw a second shape.

Start at the top left again and draw it to about 500 as in

the example below.

You can draw it out again to the right size.

9 Layers--> convert vector layer to raster layer

10   Layers-->Merge --> Merge visible

11   Go to View and de-activate the Rulers

12   Make a gradient of two colors

Gradient Style: linear; Angle 90; Repeat 1.

I chose these two colors D58560 and E2DAC9

13 Layers--> New Raster layer.

Fill this layer with the gradient

14   Adjust--> Blur --> Gaussian Blur on 50

15   Effects--> Texture Effects--> Texture-->

choose the "canvas" texture

simple size 25, as seen below:

16    Layers-->Arrange -->Move Down

17   Layers-->Merge--> Merge Visible

18   Layers-->New Raster Layer

19   Selections--> Load/Save-->

Load Selection from Disk

Find the psp-droom lijnenspel selection:

20   Fill the selection with black

Fill the small 1-pixel lines as well.

The Match Mode of the Flood Fill Tool should be on none,

as seen below

21   Selections--> Deselect

22 Layers--> Duplicate

23   Image--> Mirror

24    Layers-->Merge--> Merge All

25   Open your tube again.

Edit--> Copy

26   Go to the canvas and Paste as New Layer

27   Position the image to the left between the lines

28   Layers--> Duplicate

29   Image --> Mirror

30 Arrange your images and

play around with the Blend Modes of the layers

 I changed the one image layer's Blend Mode to Hard Light

and the other one to Luminance ( Legacy)

You can choose what you would like most.

31   Layers-->Merge-->Merge All

32   Activate your Pen Tool, width 2 ; Create on Vector checked ,

as seen below:

33   Change the foreground color to black

and lock the background color

Draw random small lines on the canvas, as in the example below:

34   Layers--> Convert to raster layer

If you draw the lines on seperate layers you can shift them around

where you want them :))

35 Layers-->Merge--> Merge All

36   Open the Bala Cynwijd font: size 36

Background color on black and the foreground locked:

37   Layers-->New Raster layer.

Add your text

38    Layers-->Merge-->Merge All

BACKGROUND

1  Open a new transparent image 100x100 pixels

and fill with your color

2 Effects--> Texture Effects--> Texture-->

Canvas--> simple size 25, with the same settings as in step 15.

3   Effects--> Image Effects--> Seamless Tiling, with these settings:

4 Effects--> Plugins-->  FM Tile Tools

Blend Emboss with the standard settings

You are finished now.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

Any resemblance to any other tutorial is

purely coincidental.

This was my own idea.
