Digital Expanse

Step 1

Create a new 500x500 px image with a white background. Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and make a complex looking selection. Basically move the mouse around a lot and click the left mouse button, press enter when you're done.

Step 2

With the same tool in hand make a slightly less complicated selection while holding down on the ALT key. Fill this new selection with red, or any colour for that matter.

Step 3

Deselect (Select > Deselect) and apply the Motion Blur Filter (Filter > Blur > Motion Blur) with a zero degree angle and a distance of about 100.

Step 4

Next apply the Extrude Filter (Filter > Stylize > Extrude) with the following settings: Type, blocks; size, 30; depth, 30 & random. Leave the other boxes unchecked. Repeat (control + F) this filter four or so times. Duplicate (Layer > Duplicate Layer) the layer where your image is and Desaturate it (Image > Adjustments > Desaturate). Use the Glowing Edges Filter (Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges) with edge width at 1, edge brightness at 20, and smoothness at 1. And lastly, set this layer's blending option to overlay. This works on a whole wack (even a jesus-load) of other things, so be sure to experiment around with this technique in mind!
