Tutorial: Haruhi Suzumiya
to
in 9 easy steps!
1. Fill the bottom layer with this color. Hex code is #7D0A0A.
2. Then I took this texture (my own texture, so please credit if you use it) and set it as a screen layer at 100%.
3. Took this texture (also mine, please credit!) and set it as another screen layer at 100%.
4. I used the polygonal lasso tool to create a few abstract shapes in a blue color (#818FA8), and then I set that layer to screen at 100%.
5. Finally, the image gets put in! I used the polygonal lasso again to outline Haruhi.
6. Copy the Haruhi layer and set it to multiply at 100%
7. I used, again, the polygonal lasso tool (I love that thing. omg. xDD) to select an area to be the border for the icon. You can leave the color black for now.
8. Text! I used Trebuchet at size 7. Bolded and set as strong text. I then went to edit>transform>rotate to tilt it a little. As for color, black is fine.
9. I set this gradient (...again, mine ^^;;;) as a screen layer at 100%.
And then you're done! I'd love to see what people come up with from this tut. :) And please credit if you use my textures or gradient. Thanks!
