Welcome to the tutorial where I shall practice my design skills along with making wallpaper using the design language. So

basically I will use only PS, but it is very good to use Illustrator or Corel Draw for the text part.

So let’s go then.

This is my brush here (download brush)- it

is basically a right angled shape defined as a brush.

Here I will show you the effect of this brush.

So I’ve just painted some strokes with green and yellow color and applied Motion blur filter to it. I do that most of the

time in my works when I want to define the initial color gamma of my design.

Then I added other colors with the help of flat brush. Create a new layer before that. Moreover change the brush blending

mode to overlay and the flow jitter is set to about 20% (on Wacom G4 with 512 pressure levels) giving that high contrasted

tone.

to be more confident.

Now let’s add even more color to it. So I did chosen 2 basic colors for my design – it’s orange and green. What I’m doing

right now is finding the balance of colors.

I also want to paste a new color. It was done on a new layer: a cubic selection was made and filled with blue to transparency

gradient.

Design skills

Apply a s layer style to this very cubic layer.

Now we shall deal with text because I think that this is a really powerful element of design.
