PS to create stunning music wallpaper

It's more of a synthetic tutorial. As long as we do it carefully, I think this tutorial is not difficult. You can also develop ideas to design a own wallpaper.

The first part:
This tutorial will teach you some tips to help you create simple cool wallpapers, ads, and many other graphics.

First create a new file of size 1920x1200px/72dpi (File > New). Apply the Paint Bucket tool (G) to fill the new layer with color #716d63.

Go to filter > Noise > Add Noise, set as follows.

Layer Parameters: Padding 70%

Copy the most recently made layer and select the Copy layer: Apply filter > Blur > Dynamic blur.

Select the free transform option in the same layer to stretch it to the bottom.

Select the same layer: Apply filters > Distort > Ripple

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-Overlay

We need to create the next layer and apply the Paint bucket tool (G) to color it (#968D73).

Next we're going to set the foreground and background colors.

Select the same layer: Apply filters > Render > Cloud

and filters > Filter channels > Poster effects

Layer parameters: Fill 59%, blending mode--overlay

Copy the last created layer, select the copy layer, and rotate it horizontally and vertically using the free transform option. On the copy layer we have to hold down CTRL + U.

Part II:
Click on the bottom of the layers panel to create a new fill or adjust Layer > curve, set as follows:

The next step is to download a series of brushes (downloads) that will be applied in PS, named foliage_vol_2_brushes_set_by_solenero73, Blood_brush_set_by_annfrost_stock, Thb-grunge-brushes and Bb_highres_grunge_textures (download)

Click the layer at the bottom of the layers version that includes the curve adjustment layer, add a mask, and apply a black brush from thb-grunge-brushes. (see chart below)

In the next new layer (create a new layer) we will apply the downloaded brush named Bb_highres_grunge_textures, the brush color is #a2987f.

Parameters for layers: Fill 30%, blending mode-color Dodge

Create a new layer, using the white brush named Bb_highres_grunge_textures below.

Layer parameters: Fill 44%, blending mode--overlay

In the next new layer (create new layer) we will apply the above series of brushes (bb_highres_grunge_textures), the color of this brush is #464031.

Layer parameters: Padding 44%.

Create a new layer and apply the standard black brush (opacity 10%) in the image below to describe the frame of the edge of the picture.

I used these photos: Speakers 1, Speakers 5, Road case, Fender Guitar Amp and Worn shoes 3 from SXC

Part III:
Cut out these objects and put them in the main image. Their size needs to be changed with the free transform option.

Merge these objects into one layer (press CTRL first to mark the layer, then press CTRL + E).

To create a new layer, you need to use a black brush named Blood_brush_set_by_annfrost_stock. We need to change the parameters of the opacity several times to represent the different shading effects of the brushes. This new layer should be placed below the layer of the object.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-dissolving

In the next new layer we want to apply the brushes from the Blood_brush_set_by_annfrost_stock, using white (the opacity of the parameters can be changed according to their own ideas). This layer should also be placed below the layer of the object.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-overlay, blending options > Shading

To create a new layer, apply the brush from Blood_brush_set_by_annfrost_stock, the color is #e03333 (the opacity parameter can still be changed as you think). This layer should be placed below the object layer.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-color depth

Next we want to select the Ellipse tool (U) to paint an ellipse with a #ff871b color. This layer will be placed below the object layer again.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-color

Using the same tool, try to paint more ellipses in white, and don't forget to put this layer underneath the object layer.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-Overlay

Using the same tool (the Ellipse tool (U)), draw the next ellipse with the #9b160f color.

Layer Parameters: Padding 76%

Combine all the ellipses into one group (press CTRL to mark the same layer, and then press the left mouse button to move the marked layer to the new group option). To copy a new group, select the Free transform option to change the size of the replication group: The second ellipse (white) needs to be populated with 88%.

Create a new layer, using a brush named foliage_vol_2_brushes_set_by_solenero73. The color of the brush is #fceabe, and the same layer is placed underneath the object layer.

Click on the bottom of the Layers panel to select Create new fill or adjust Layer > black & White

Press the ALT key to click between the Black & white effect and the object layer.

Press Alt button and click between the layer with the Black&white effect and the rasterized layer CTS (on the Layers ' panel)

Part IV:
Click on the bottom of the layers panel to create a new fill or adjustment layer > curve.

Make a copy of the previously made Ellipse group (with one fit on the right). Use the free Transform option to narrow the copy layer and place it in the following illustration:

To do the elliptical group in the same way, we will select the Ellipse tool (U) again to draw three small circles. First color with #a80a0a.

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-color

Next Circle with Black

Layer Parameters: Padding 64%

Third Circle with White

Layer Parameters: Padding 90%

Merge these three circles. Duplicate this layer group three times, finally we apply the free transform option to change the size of the copy layer, put them in the position shown in the following figure.

In the next layer, we'll apply the Blood_brush_set_by_annfrost_stock brush. Its color is black (opacity 15%).

Layer Parameters: Blending mode-Soft light

Find a horn picture.

Cut it out and put it in our main picture. Copy the layer and change its size using the free transform option finally put the two layers in the elliptical layer group.
