PHOTOSHOP>ALIEN
HEADER
00:
In this tutorial I will show you how to make a header
like the one above.
01:
Start by opening a new document I did 800x800 pixels
02:
Make the background white.
03: Click
the pen tool in your toolbar and make a curve similar
to this.
04:
Now click the brushtool in the toolbar. Click on Window>Brushes
and click on Shape Dynamics and apply these settings.
You can alternatively draw it in Illustrator, but since
this is a PhotoShop tutorial, I wont go there right
now.
05:
Make a new layer, and click windows>Paths. Click
on the Brush tool in the toolbar, and in the Paths window
choose "stroke path with brush" (it is important
to have the brush selected or this wont work.
06:
Select the pen tool again and right click it on the
document and choose delete path.
07:
We now have one of the 4 horn looking things for the
header. Copy the layer and in the new layer click Edit>Transform>Flip
Horizontal.
08: Move
the layer out a bit so you have something like this.
09: Merge
the 2 layers with horn thingys in them and copy the
merged layer.
10: In
the new layer click Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical.
Move the layer a little away from the old layer and
scale it like this.
11: Now
for the effects on the horns. I used these layer styles.
Add them to either of the 2 horn layers.
12: This
should get you something similar to this
13: Right
click on the layer with the layer styles, click copy
layer style. Now right click on the other horn layer
and paste layer styles. This completes the horns.
14: Now
to the cheating part, i import my sphere from my sphere
tutorial, Click here to go to it.
15: With
the sphere imported you should have something like this.
16: Copy
the sphere layer and scale the top one down to look
like this.
17: On
the top layer sphere add this layer style.
18: And
on the bottom sphere layer add this Layer Style.
19: For
the final step, click on the background layer and apply
this Layer Style
20: And
thats about it, you should have something like this
now. I choose to rotate the canvas 180 degrees at this
point so here's my end result.
Hope you
enjoyed the tutorial.
