Part One, which looks at Blending is here Well my pretties as promised here I am to complete my step by step of this Banner In this Tutorial I'll show youy how I went from this: To This: 1- First I sharpened my image- sharpening is always a crucial part to me as I like all my graphics to look crisp. I then added a border (normally a step I would do last, but I accidently merged it to the base image!) to add my border I selected everything (CTRL+A) then chose the rectangle selection tool and right clicked on the Canvas then selected stroke. My settings were Size: 1PX, Colour: #ffffff, Location: Centre 2- Then I grabbed this texture by People Machines(site dead): I pasted it on a layer above my base image and set it to Screen 3- Next I began the colouring- to do this I made a new layer and flood filled it with #180438 and set the Blend mode to Exclusion 100% Then I made another new layer, flood filled with #fff99d, I changed the Blend mode to Soft Light 50% Then I made a 3rd new layer & flood filled it with #8dcff3 and set the Blend mode to Colour Burn 50% The Colour Burn Layer left my image looking too dark, so I took my eraser ( Size 170, Hardness 0) and erased the areas over the Shire & Sam's face. 4- Finally I got to my favourite bit- Selective Colour. Here I made a Selective Colour Adjustment layer and set it like so: Reds: Cyan:-100 Magenta: +19 Yellow: +25 Black: +20 Yellows: Cyan: +40 Magenta: -21 Yellow: +100 Black: 0 Neutrals: Cyan: 0 Magenta: +6 Yellow: -9 Black: +3 My aim was to bring out the yellows and greens to give the lighter areas a vivid dreamy look, whilst darkening the blues in the centre to make the centre seem darker 5- Finally I added my text- I used DaunPenh in #ffffff which came as a default font on my PC (Times new Roman is very similar!). Then I added an underline& my signature using the Pencil tool Size 1px again in white & hey Presto We're done! I hope that this tutorial was helpful to some people. Feel free to share you outcome if you try it (I'd love to see!). Or if you have any questions & or constructive criticism on my techniques or graphics or tutorial writing let me know |
