Create a movie strip, that looks good in just about anything!
1. Make a new image, ours is 800 x 200 - with a transparent background
2. Grab the marquee tool, and set it to a fixed size of 800px x 180px - make your selection and move it down (to center it)
3. Grab the gradient tool, but give it the following settings
With your gradient tool, click at the left hand side of your screen, and drag your mouse all the way to the right hand side.
6. Again with your marquee tool, make a selection of 205px x 135px, and cut out little squares:
7. Once they are evenly cut out, hold CTRL and press D
8. Grab your circular marquee tool, and make a pretty small selection, which will be the little bullet holes in the strip. move them in the correct place and hit delete. hold SHIFT and press RIGHT on your keyboard, to move it the correct amount accross:
9. That may take a while, but once again, hold CTRL and press D to deselect.
10. Click Layer > Layer style > Blending options, and check drop shadow, outer glow and bevel and emboss.
11. For drop shadow, add the following settings:
12. Outer glow has these:
13. And bevel and emboss has these:
14. Zoom right out, and make a HUGE text layer by first selecting your text tool, and dragging out a selection with your mouse (make it waaaayyyy off of the canvas)
15. In a font, which i used black verdana bold, type in some sort of message, mine was made by me copied and pasted hundreds of times until it filled all of the canvas up
16. Rotate the text clock-wise - by the boxes in the corners of the text box.
17. Click Layer > Rasterize > Layer.
18. Hold CTRL and click the thumbnail of the movie strip on the layers palate, hold CTRL + SHIFT and press I - to invert your selection
19. Press delete, and lower the opacity.
I added some more things, like more text, pictures in the background layer.
