Level: Beginner Software: Photoshop

Let's begin real simple, so create you Default Photoshop Document

Now, Set your colors to #ff0000 as foreground, and #a90000 as background.

Double Click your Background Layer to unlock it, rename it Layer 0.

Now, use a Gradient across the Document, from top left to bottom right.

After this, you will go Filter>Render>Fibers. Use the below settings.

Now, in the Filter Gallery, do some Glowing Edges.

After this, you will go back to the Filter Gallery, and do some Patchwork.

Your end result should be some pretty neat tiles.

I'm 16. Well, I started doing websites in 6th grade, because the students in my grade weren't exactly organized, and had trouble keeping track of what we had to do. That's when I started making websites. In my July vacations, I decided to make another website, educating new Photoshop users to the program, and that's how StartPhotoshop.com originated. I hope you find my tutorials useful, thanks!
