A wallpaper made for self

 A simple master - piece made with simple steps in a simply awesome software (Photoshop :P).

First Grunge

 

 


. Never really tried out such a wallpaper. I really dunno if its good or bad. To give you a brief history (:P) behind this wallpaper, lemme me go back. Well i was on my way back to my home in a train. Thankfully a got a seat where i had a plug point beside my seat (real lucky:) ). So taking the full advantage of situation, i watched a movie (The International - dunt watch it :P) and some videos and yes not to mention i heard some songs which made me feel gud. But then something was wrong, i wasnt really comfortable :(. Ohh yes i found it, i got the upper berth in the train, and sadly i didnt have any space, not even to sit straight. Moreover i could not get a chance to get down to the lower berth and sit due to the family with which i was travelling (they slept throughtout the journey o.0 . So i was sad n happy too for a plug point, so i tried to myself comfortable n tried out on with many brushes. Ending up here wasnt the end of the adventure. After the completion of this i could not save it as a .jpeg file (shame on me :P). After struggling for 15 mins, i found that i had scrolled down in the save options and for that reason i missed out the .jpeg option which was up in the options :P .

Neways do temme how do you find the wallpaper. I ll soon b posting some of my recent works with photos of persons and photoshop. Do check dem out.

Reflection

Isnt dat kool...well lemme present my first tut : reflection effect

We ll b creating a cool wallpaper with ur name written and a reflection below. It indeed brings out a glassy effect n it rocks

I work on photoshop cs3

Step 1: Open Photoshop and open a new file with d following configuration ( i am making a wallpaper with a size of 1280x800 pixels square :P) 

Step 2: Well now get a dark background. I chose a black back ground. And den write your name. Make sure u choose the font correctly. Make sure its bold and do take care about the base of the edges. They (referring to the bases) all  should end on a line.

 

Step 3: This actually is optional at this point but i prefer do now. You can go to your layers panel. If you dunt hav the layer window on your screen, den you can get it by pressing the F7 key. Neways once u get dere, you can manipulate the layer properties. Select the text layer and den double click on the blank area to the right, u can get the sort of window given below. Now you can play with all the parameters and make your name look awsum. Well you can also try out the presets in the styles winidow also.

  

Step 4: Now rasterize the text layer by right clicking on the text layer in the layer window and den selecting the 'rasterize the layer' option.

Step 5: With th layer selected in the layer window, u can press Ctrl+T, or u can select the area as given in the pic and den click on transform selection

Step 6: Then right click on the selected area and go for prespective option, play around with the end square small boxes and make sure u move dem only in the vertical direction. ( u can play wid it in ne way u want , but for the sake of this wallpaper go according to the specifications)

Step 7: Now hit enter to go for ur transformation.

Step 8: Next create a copy of the layer n using the transformation procedure bring it to the position specified,  i.e. invert the image.

Step 9: Now with the newly created, select the shown area and go for 'transform selection' as was mentioned before. Now select the skew option , and in the way first move the corner small squares up and down n bring the image to the shown figure.

 

Step 10: Next go to the bottom left corner n enable the quick mask by clicking on the icon.

  

  

Step 11: Make sure you select the correct parameters as shown in the figures 

 

 

Step 12: Next apply the gradient, which will look like the figure shown above.

Step 13: Next deselect the mask editing option, and the screen luks sumwht lyk dis except the dotted line covering the upper half. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to inivert the selection and the lower one will get selected.

Step 14: Wid the inverted layer selected,press the delete key n u can see the magic. the shade appears :). You are almost done wid the reflection

 

Step 15:Now you can for the layer properties of the main layer (text) n change the parameters n hav fun. Make sure you restore the essence of reflection.

Step 16: Well the last step.. Do decrese the opactity of layers which represent the reflection and thus ur work is done

  

Well how well the relection cumes out, and how all you create your effects all depend on how well you experiment all the tools dat you hav at your disposal. Try out your wacky ideas, create all crap and nonsense and you will end up getting the work up your lifetym.... Well i am still in the process :P 

 

Do temme if u face ne difficulties, i am ready to help you out :). Do post in your ideas about how can u make the work better :)

Attitud3

Attitude - this describes attitude to a great extent. To begin, the colors are soothing, not bright and dashing, the design as a whole can be said to be a elegant one. And the best part, the caption

I dont rule d world

I just dont care who rules

Thats Attitude.
