something different

While I was looking through some photoshop tutorials i came across one that incorporated a"paintbrush slpatter" brush that I liked and thought I could make a cool image.  I downloaded the set of brushes and went to work.  I played with it using different themes and images I found online but none of the compositions came out as well as I had excpected.


I kept searching through the endless piles tutorials and I just used all of my new found knowlegde to create one decent background/ image.


  • First I Filled the background with a solid black color.
  • I created a new layer and used Layer> Layer Style> Gradient Overlay and made a gradient that followed a desired color x black x desired color scheme.
  • Next I clicked on one of the many different Splatter brushes and evenly filled space with that color. (overdoing it would just make the image looking sloppy... not messy)
  • Repeat that step as many times as you'd like with different colors
  • Next Find a font you like and write your text.  
  • Use the Quick Selection Tool and select the text then alter the color by using Layer> Layer Style> Gradient Overlay and fill the text with your desired gradient.

instead....

My Classic Camaro aka Green Lantern
I felt like the business sized car idea was kind of dumb so i decided to just make a background using different techniques I've learned.  For instance I used the layer opacity tool to make the actual "Green Lantern" fade in the image.  The Camaro that I used for this background was originally yellow so I used Magic Wand tool to select the color I wanted to changed and use the adjustments hue/ saturation tool to make it the metallic green.  I used a font that comes with Photoshop but I modified it by using layer style/ outer glow effects to create that outline.  I applied drop shadows to the  "Specifications" words.  The shapes to the left are gradients in overlay mode.
