Photoshop makes skateboard posters in Europe and America

In this Photoshop poster design tutorial, you can learn

1: Paint a beautiful ribbon with Photoshop pen tool

2: The use of color techniques

The final effect is shown in the following figure

The first step is to make the background. Create a new working document (menu-new; Ctrl + N), Document Set 1280X1024PX, resolution 72DPI. Create a new blank layer (layer-new-layer; ctrl+shift+n) and fill in one color (edit-fill).

All right? Then enter the Add layer style-gradient overlay (note that the style author is using radial)

The color is set as follows: Color value: Faf9f7 FFFFFF b2aa9f b9b1a6

(Kung fu has words: Every step of the author has his own purpose may be boring, but you have to see why the author set the color, if it is you, how will you change?) Kung Fu Analysis: The background effect of the author is the center of light around the dark, clear light set in the middle of the So then the author's color gradient is from shallow to deep to the surrounding gradient. Of course, this is not to tell you how accurate the numerical, color distribution of the specific location, just that we need to have this awareness.

Step two: Import the pictures that we need to deal with, in this tutorial, the author used this skateboard brother from the grandfather level of the picture sharing web Flickr. But first, thank you for the image provided by the original author.

Pull out the characters (there are many methods, personal recommendation Pen tool zoom in slowly buckle, I like this "chew slowly" process. Copy to the document we are working on.

Step three: Copy the characters we pulled out of the four (ctrl+j) new layers and put them underneath the original characters. Copy a good one, and you can tilt the character's direction with a ctrl+t tool (the free transform).

Fourth objective: To fill the color of the copy of the characters below we have just copied the characters individually, the basic methods are the same, as follows: Select the first copied character layer

1 Adjust this layer opacity 60%

2 Layer Style-color overlay

OK, select the second duplicated character layer and continue the above action

1 Opacity 50%

2 Layer Style-color overlay

Continue to select the third copied character layer.

1 Opacity 40%

2 Layer Style color overlay

Fourth one

1 opacity 30%2 layer style color overlay

Kung Fu has words: hey, by repeating such a few moves now should be quite familiar with it! That's right, that's the effect of repetitive exercise. After the color, looks good. How, it's easy!

The fifth step is to add a dynamic and gorgeous curve, to increase the visual sense we will use the pen tool and transform the Anchor Point tool to make and adjust these curves and put them in the right place. Note that the layers of these curves below are placed below the character layer, above the background layer. OK, let's start our first ribbon with a curve.

Still the same as the old, but also start our repeat process, believe me, this is not a tedious job, will only make you more familiar with more understanding of what you are doing. Use layer styles to fill colors: Layer styles-Gradient overlay (Kung fu has words: I hope that every step we can think about the purpose of this step, how to do, why did the author do this?) include the following author color settings and processing, etc.

Continue the pen to paint the second curve

After making a selection, fill in a new layer of color, the main color is done through the layer style. Go to layer style-gradient overlay

OK, continue the author adds a light cyan on the blue curve (WHY? Details to increase readability)

The Pen tool outlines a new layer of ctrl+enter the path to a selection, or the old, casually fill what color, and then layer style-gradient overlay

Then draw

Layer Styles-Gradient overlay

The following actions are as follows

Layer Styles-Gradient overlay

Again

Layer Mode-Gradient overlay

It's almost over, come on! Another layer. Yellow-green gradient

OK, congratulations, finished painting

Simple, just repeat the operation, but do not underestimate this repetition

, it's a big principle in design. It can increase the whole picture of the sense of unity, visual effect is also good! The color of the grasp is also very important ah, how to grasp it? (I don't know, read a book, I don't know.) Hey

Then we add a little trim Select Line tool (U), color black (you can choose) thickness 5, hold down shift to draw a straight line. Well, draw yourself a little cross!

One of the four principles of design-repeat, right, repeat these little cross. But to make the appropriate changes, size, location and so on, change in the same. OK, here is the final effect!
