Presentation Screen
Hallo, this is the tutorial how to make a presentation screen in about 1 hour. For this one I will use basic Photoshop techniques. I will not use drawing that is why everyone can make this one, even using a mouse.
So let’s begin with creating a document and a layer. We will need 2 documents in this tutorial so create another document (do not close the other one).
For this one is very important to make it square. So I’m just using 500×500 pixel size.
This is the layer for creating a brush, a custom brush for our further work.
So use shapes to create the brush we need. Make a copy of the layer and transform it holding the shift key.
In the end we had to get this. This will be our brush sample. Now move it direct to the center, the sample has to be direct in the center.
Use Edit > Define Brush preset.
And here we have our sample, already a brush.
Now
I will make another but similar brush from I have already have.
Actually there are millions of ways to modify and rebuilt Brushes in
Photoshop. You can create brushes almost out of anything.
For modify my brush I will just use layer styles as a tool.
Switch to our Brush document and apply several effects to our cross.
Here is our result if taking it in the future.
And here are layer styles. Remember that the Fill is set to 0 (zero) %.
Here. Define this brush as well. Here we have our Hollow Cross Brush.
Now all that remains is to test the brushes. Make a layer and begin to paint.
Draw some crosses changing the opacity to form background of the image.
I did with my tablet but it can be easily be done with mere mouse.
Here are the setting who will make this with that tablet.
Create now another layer for the foreground. Draw here with our 2nd brush – Hollow cross.
Here we have it.
Apply only one layer style for whole foreground layer. Make it glow applying Outer Glow option.
You should try to practice with color mixing and color interaction.
So just change a little bit the background layer (PAINT) color.
Now the text. 1st rule – select the right font.
And apply only one style to it.
Here
we have. I will finally make some color adjustments. Remember to put
the adjustment – color balance layer mode to Linear light and it’s opacity to about 30% – 40%.
And we are done here.
