Here you will be taught how to make something similiar to my splash and web
page.
1) Open a new file, around 600 x 480pixels, with any background
color. I used black.
2) Make a white square on a seperate layer. And using the polygonal
lasso tool,
cut the
square up. Heres what mine looks like.
3) Now take any picture you have. Goto FILTER > BLUR > MOTION BLUR set the angle to 0
and the distance to 999.
4) Go to FILTER > BLUR > GUASSIAN BLUR set it anywhere
between 8-20. I used 15 for this one.
5) Now select the rectangle marquee tool. (its right above the
polygonal lasso tool in the pic above) And select a region in your blurred
pic. Heres what i mean.
6) Once you have selected your region, go to EDIT > DEFINE
PATTERN
7) Now lets go back to the white box thing we made earlier. Select
the white cut up box and go to EDIT > FILL a box will pop up, make sure
its set to this.
8) It should look something similiar to this. You may notice
that there are some lines that stand out, becuase of overlapping. We want
to get rid of these so with the box thing selected go to FILTER > BLUR>
GAUSSIAN BLUR and set it to about 5-15.
9) Now time for the layer effects.
10) You should have something similiar to this.
11) Now make some more boxes and repeat the steps. Add a background
and anything else you want to spice up your layout.
