IceCream Retro Effect


1. First of all create a new document then fill the background with a soft, light color. I used 400x400 and filled the background with #e2dfed.

2. Now get the Rectangular Marquee Tool -

Near the top of Photoshop change the Style to Fixed Size and set the width to 20 px and height to 400 px.

Click on the canvas and drag the selection to the far left. Now move the selection 10 pixels from the left (Shift+Right key)

Now create a new layer and fill the selection with a purple, I used #9e86f4.

Now move the selection 40 pixels to the right and fill the selection with the same color, repeat this as many times as it takes to get to the end of the document.

Duplicate the lines layer then rotate it 180° (Edit > Transform > Rotate 180°)
