Tutorial 6 : Step By Step

I followed the steps in the video.


For the first background, i used render > clouds . play with the colour and levels.

For the second background, i used render > fibers. For the lighting effect, i play around with render > lighting effects.

For the last background, i repeated the same steps as the second background. I changed the colour and drew stripes using lasso tool.


The next step is to create chrome effect on the font. By using several steps such as stroke, calculations, gaussian blur, to get the outline of the font.

To create the chrome effect inside the outline, i used the 20 dollar bill image.

By applying gaussian blur and adjusting curve i get the chrome effect. Then i add layer mask to the font.

Next, to create realistic shadow, i made another layer of the font, fill it with black, and apply gaussian blur. as u can see on the bottom left of the font, the shadow has soft edge. I used motion blur to get this effect.


Finally, i play with the colours and try using different backgrounds to get a suitable 70's like wallpaper.
