Step 1

Create new document 1280px x 1000px 72dpi. Background Color #fff(white)

Step 2

Now select the type tool color:#a90000, and write out any word you would like. Text size dosen’t matter but make it big as possible for this tutorial.

Step 3

Create a new layer then select the rounded brush tool color:#a90000. The brush size varies according to your text size so choose the approiate size. Now create a circle by the end of one of your letters. I’m going to start with the W.

Step 4

This is the part where we will create the drip. Make the brush tool slightly smaller and draw out a drip.

Step 5

Now create 3 circle. Make all circles different sizes and put them around the main circle and drip so that they look like paint splatter.

Step 6

Repeat the steps above for every other word or so then you should have a completed paint splatter. I’ve decided to add a black background to my text. HEHE! You are all done.

First thing first, group all of the typography words into one group then right click on folder to merge group. Select the eraser tool but use some fancy brushes to erase. I think I may have used grudge paint brushes.

Then group all rectangle layers into one group and right click on group folder to merge group. Now select the same brush tool you have used and erase some of the edges. After you have done that you should have a simple but nice typography wallpaper.

Materials you need!

• Image of yourself
• Photoshop/Illustrator
• Patients

Step 1

Open illustrator and Create new document 1000px x 1000px.

Then grab a image of YOURSELF and place it on the canvas.

Step 2

Ok so if you have seen others tutorials they have probably stated at this step that you should use the pen tool. Since the pen tool takes time to use and get used to we will use the brush tool with a stroke and no color throughout the entire tutorial. Select the brush tool(or press B). Then change the stroke to 0.75. Now trace your face. take your time also.

As you can see I have trace my face with the image turned on.

One you turn the image off you should have a trace like the one below.

Step 3

Now we’re going to trace the hair. I have a buzz hair cut so it might be easy for me to trace but if you have long hair or curly or Afro just trace the outline and we will add details later.

Step 4

Next we will draw the lips. I started with the bottom lip then added the top lip. Zoom in if you need to also. If it takes you multiple tries do not worry the face is one of the hardest things to do.

Note: I am tracing with the image on but looks as if I’m not from the images.

Step 5

I know the nose should be next but we’re going to do the eyes now. Trace your eyes now. When tracing the eyes if you have to change the stroke or the brush depending on what looks good. We will add details later.

Step 6

Next we’re going to draw the nose. Do not draw the entire nose.Draw it piece by piece. Your nose will be different from mines but just look at how I have outlined
it.

Now draw your nostrils. Try not to connect it to your nose. But do not leave to much space in between the nose and nostrils.

Step 7

Next we’re going to get back to the eyes section. Create a line above your eye. That will indicate the outer edge of your eyes. Hope that made sense

Step 8

Now lets create our eye brows. Trace your eye brows.

Now click on the eye brows and change the fill color to black(#000) or whatever color your eyebrows are.

Step 9

Now create two lines for your facial structure. It might make you look like you have wrinkle skins but that will change later. You might have to change the stroke to a thinner stroke. Depends on the person.

Step 10

Now just you should only have to trace your body and add details your ear. I decided to skip some parts to get to the painting. If you’re having trouble just look at how have traced my image.

Step 11

Now we’re going to bring it over into photoshop and start painting it. I guess this is the fun part, well aleast for me it is haha. Go to File>>Export and give your trace a name and save it as a Photoshop Document(PSD).

Step 12

Open photoshop and drag your vector trace into photoshop. The vector will be bigger in photoshop(Just a heads up).

Note: Painting takes a while. Select the Paint brush tool and paint slowly. I painted the inside first then zoomed in and painted the edges.

Step 13

Select the paint brush tool and go around and paint the shirt and hair of your vector. If you have long hair Just create a custom brush pattern with a bunch of lines or
just select the paint brush tool 1px and draw string by string. Yes it takes a while.

Step 14

Now select the best skin tone color for your skin. Since I am a dark brown I will use a dark brown color. If you have light tones and your face we’ll worry about that later. For now just create the basic tone.

Step 15

Now lets work on our eyes. With the brush tool slowly and carefully fill the background of the eye. I did not choose white as the color. Instead I used something a bit darker(#e8e8e8<--Light Grey/white).

Step 16

Select the color of your eyes. In my case my eyes are dark brown so I choose a dark brown color for my eyes. Then added two pupils.

Step 17

Depending on the lighting select the basic color of your lips. I choose a darker color for my bottom lip and lighter color for my top lip. We will add details later.

Now if you look at my original image you will see my lips you see i have lighter spots on some parts of them. So what you want to do to accomplish a great look is select the paint brush tool and whatever color your lips are lighter then select that color. In my case they were a pinkish color so I selected a pink type of color then added 4 dots. After you have the dots go to Filter>>Blur>>Gaussian blur then blur it til it looks good on you. Do that for the top and bottom lip then erase the extra blur around the lips.

Step 18

Ok so remember how we applied a basic tone to our skin. Well this is the part where you add the lighter or dark spots on your skin. I have darker spots on my skin so I selected a dark brown color with the paint brush tool and marked my dark spots(I didn’t really get too detail). Then I added a Gaussian blur to it.

Step 19

Next we’re going to do the exact same thing as step 18 but for our eye shadows. Select the paint brush tool and use the same color that you used for your dark/light spots then add two circles right under your eyebrows then apply a Gaussian blur.

Step 20

Finally add a background image then you’re done! Your vector should be completed. I know I did not use a image that we could of all use because that would make this
tutorial worthless. If you followed my steps then you should be good to go.

I know this tutorial was not very detailed but it should of helped you create a vector image of yourself using simple techniques. I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial.

Before we begin you will need the files below:

• Grass Pattern
• Soccer Players

Step 1

Create a new document 1280px x 1000px.

Step 2

Now we’re going to create our grass background. Right click on the background layer>>blending options>>Pattern overlay and load or choose the grass pattern that you’ve downloaded.

Now go to Filter>>Render>>lighting effect

Style: Triple Spotlight, Light Type: Spotlight, Intensity: 35, Focus:100 , Gloss:0 , Material:69 , Exposure:65 , Ambience:13 , and Texture Channel:none.

Step 3

Next thing we are going to be doing is creating the actual soccer lines for our feilds. Select the rectangle tool, color:ffffff and create a nice big rectangle across the grass leaving space around the rectangle.

Now change the layer opacity to 10% and layer fill to 0. Then right click on the rectangle layer>>blending options>>stroke>> size:3px, position:inside, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, Fill Type:color, #ffffff

You should now have a rectangle box for the soccer field.

Step 4

Now we’re going to be doing the same steps for the rest of the boxes on the field. Create a another rectangle box, color:#fffff. Now change the layer opacity to 10% and layer fill to 0. Then right click on the rectangle layer>>blending options>>stroke>> size:3px, position:inside, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, Fill Type:color, #ffffff

Create another rectangle inside of the one we’ve just created color:#ffffff. Now change the layer opacity to 10% and layer fill to 0. Then right click on the rectangle layer>>blending options>>stroke>> size:3px, position:inside, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, Fill Type:color, #ffffff

Now select the rounded rectangle tool color:#ffffff and create a small circle at the top of our rectangle.

Now change the layer opacity to 10% and layer fill to 0. Then right click on the rectangle layer>>blending options>>stroke>> size:3px, position:inside, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, Fill Type:color, #ffffff. Then select the eraser tool(square brush) and just drag it down half of the circle leaving the upper half untouched.

Step 5

Group all the layers we’ve just created for our soccer field lines except of the big rectangle. Then right click on the group and duplicate it. After you have duplicated the group go to Edit>>Transform>>flip horizontal.

Step 6

Now lets create our center field marks. Select the rounded rectangle tool color:#fffff, then create a circle in the middle of the field. Now change the layer opacity to 10% and layer fill to 0. Then right click on the rectangle layer>>blending options>>stroke>> size:3px, position:inside, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, Fill Type:color, #ffffff. Then select the line tool color:#ffffff, and hold Shift+drag to create a perfectly straight line going down the middle of the feild. Change the opacity on the straight line to 10%. You should now have something like the image below.

Step 7

Select the type tool, font: Arial,bold size 200px, smooth. Create a fancy text you would like to use. I used Webdevtuts for the example. Then change the text opacity to 30%.

Right click on the text layer>>blending options>>drop shadow. blend mode:multiply, opacity:100, angle:120, distance:5, spread:65, size:5,

Now select inner shadow. blend mode:multiply, opacity:100, angle:120, distance:0, spread:0, size:35,

Now select Bevel & Emboss. style:inner bevel, technique:smooth, depth:205, direction:up, size:174, soften:16.
angle:120, altitude:30, highlight mode:screen color:#dbdbdb, opacity:75, shadow mode:multiply color:#64781c, opacity:75

Now select pattern overlay. Choose the grass pattern again that we used for our background.

Now select stroke. size:1, position:outside, angle:120, blend mode:normal, opacity:100, color:#000000.

You should now have something like this.

Step 8

Select the elispe tool, color:#fffff and create a circle in the middle of our field. Then change layer filter to exclusion(by default it should say normal) opacity: 70% and fill to 8%.

Step 9

Now lets add our soccer players. Drag or insert the soccer players. Players might be to big at first but just resize them to the appropriate fixture.

Step 10

Duplicate the Webdevtuts text layer then change the text to game time and resize it to 100px. Right click on the text layer>>blending options>>drop shadow. blend mode:multiply, opacity:100, angle:120, distance:5, spread:65, size:5,

Now select gradient overlay. blend mode: normal, gradient: left color#858585, right color, #000000, style:linear, angle:90, scale:100. Then click ok then you’re finish. You
have created your very own soccer theme wallpaper. If you follow this tutorial I would love to see other outcome.

Here is the final image

Create a new a document Width:960px x Height: 1200px, color:#313131

Step 2

Now were going to give our website a little space. First things first, make sure you have your ruler turned on then add a guide line to 0px and 960px.
Note: To insert a guide line just select the move tool and click on the grid and drag it.

Now press CTRL+ALT+C for windows or CMD+ALT+C for Mac. Now you should see a Canvas size box. This is how we’re going to give our document more room for our website. Select the left arrow and change the width from 960px to 1160px then press ok.

Now repeat the last step but select the right arrow and change the width from 1160px to 1360px then press ok. Now you should have 960px in the middle
of your document.

Note: If your document is white or any other color on either side just select the paint bucket tool and change it to the background color

Step 3

Now were going to create a navigation menu. Select the rounded rectangle tool, 5px radius, color:#1c1b1b and draw a rounded rectangle from 0px to 960px. If you’re
lost just just draw the rectangle from guide line to guide line.

Step 4

Keep the rounded rectangle tool selected just change the color:#515151, and draw another rounded rectangle slightly over the menu background

Step 5

Now create a rounded rectangle box color:#fff. Make sure you leave 15px on both sides of the rectangle.

Step 6

Now create another rounded rectangle for our sidebar. Leave a little space at tht top for out logo. There is 15px space in between elements.

Step 7

Ok so now that the layout is basically there we will start with adding out menu nav links. Select the type tool, Arial, Bold, 14px, sharp, color:#686868. Then
type out the correct menu links. To get the single line text just double click when you have the type tool selected. Then after you have the text entered
create another rounded rectangle color #000 for our rollover.

Step 8

Now were going to make our logo. Select the type tool color:#fff, Arial, Bold, 36px, sharp. Now write out a custom name for your blog.

Now right click on the text layer>>Blending options>>Inner shadow Blendmode:multiply, Opacity:75, Angle:120, Distance0, Choke:0, Size:5.

Then select the color overlay check box and change the color to #3f3f3f. You should now have a letterpress logo effect.

Select the type tool color:#fff, Arial, regular, 10px, sharp. Then write out a sub heading. For the letterpress symbol all that is needed is to duplicate the letterpress text layer and select any symbol from the custom symbol panel. Photoshop will ask you if you would like to rasterize layer and simply click yes then insert your symbol. Your final logo should look exactly like this or similar to the one below

Step 9

Select the rectangle tool color:#313131, then create a rectangle box for our featured slider. Leave 15px on each side and the top.

Now find any image you would like and lets insert it over our slider background leaving 5px around the entire image.

Select the rectangle tool color:#313131, and create a rectangle just a bit above our image then change the opacity to 50%.

Now select the type tool color:#ffffff, Arial, Bold, 18px, Sharp then create a generic post heading.

Step 10

Now we’re going to create our blog post. I will only demonstrate 1 blog post because after you have one completed you can duplicate the rest. Select the rectangle tool color:#313131, then create a rectangle box.

Right click on the box layer>>blending options>>gradient overlay. Blendmode:Normal, Opacity:100, Style:Linear, Angel:90, Scale:100.

Now double click on the gradient bar>> Left Color:#e9e9e9, Right Color:#ffffff.

You should have something like the image below.

Now we will add a thumbnail image to our design. You can use any image just make sure you leave 5px around the entire image. Try to make height similar to mine.

Select the type tool color:#313131, Arial, Bold, 14px, Sharp then create a generic post title.

Select the type tool color:#515151, Arial, Regular, 12px, Sharp then create a generic post information heading. Link color:#cc4343.

Select the type tool color:#515151, Arial, Regular, 12px, Sharp then create a generic excerpt(Little information about the post). Link color:#313131(–>Read More<--).

For our final step select the type tool color:#515151, Arial, Regular, 12px, Sharp then create some post tags. Link color:#cc4343.

Step 11

Now that we have our 1 of the posts completed we can now duplicate the other 4. Group all the layers for the post into one folder then right click on the folder and duplicate group. You can then change titles and thumbnails images if you would like. It makes it seem more like a live website preview.

Step 12

Now we will work on the sidebar. Before we begin working on the sidebar make sure you leave 15px on the sides and top of the sidebar. Google search or create 4 images 125px x 125px for our ad spots. Then place the ads into the sidebar.

Step 13

Select the rectangle tool color:#ededed then create a rectangle box for our popular post widget.

Select the type tool color:#515151, Arial, Regular, 20px, Sharp then create a POPULAR POST heading.

Select the type tool color:#606060, Arial, Regular, 20px, Sharp then create some generic post title headings. Make sure they are all cap so that
they look the same as the images below. The highlighted color:#2c2c2c.

Step 14

For our final step we we now create the footer text. Select the type tool color:#515151, Arial, Regular, 12px, Sharp then create your footer text. All
text below in image below was used on one line.

You’re now done! Your final layout should look like the image below(Click to enlarge)

Step 1

Select the rounded rectangle tool, radius: 5px, color:#1f1f1f and draw a rectangle in the middle of your canavas.

Right click on button layer>>blending options>>gradient overlay. Blend mode:normal, Opacity:100%, Style:linear, Angle90, Scale:54%.

Now double click on the gradient bar. Left Color:#1f1f1f, Right Color:#343434.

Step 2

Now were going to give our button a little of pop out technique. Ok so you know the first rectangle layer we’ve created, we are going to take that layer and duplicate it 2 times. After you have duplicated it 2 times you should now have 3 buttons in total. First Rectangle will be the gradient we’ve created in the beginning of this tutorial and the second 2 buttons will be changed from gradients to a 1 solid color.

Note: To change a layer from a gradient to 1 solid color all you would have to do is right click on the layer>>blending options>>and unselect the gradient overlay box. Then select the
color check box and change the color without making a new button over again.

First rectangle: Gradient
Middle Rectangle: #3D3D3D
Last Rectangle: #343434

Now that you have all 3 buttons made with the proper colors we will now make them them close to one another. Zoom in and select the move tool. Now drag the two layers close to the gradient layer. You should now see a little pop out. If you can not then it might be because of the white canvas.

Step 3

Now we will add our little gloss inside of the button. Select the rounded rectangle tool, color:#ffffff. Now draw a rectangle at the top of the button and change the opacity to 1%, and fill to 10%.

Step 4

Select the type tool color: #4b4b4b, font size:30px arial. Right click on the text layer>>blending options>>Inner shadow. blend mode: multiply, distance 0, choke: 0 , size: 5

Now select the color overlay check box and change the color to #333333.

Step 5

Select the type tool color: #4b4b4b, font size:12px arial. Right click on the text layer>>blending options>>Inner shadow. blend mode: mutiply, opacity: 75%, angle: 120, distance 5, choke: 0 , size: 5

Now select the color overlay check box and change the color to #ffffff. And you should now have a nice looking button.

Note: Click to Enlarge!

You can change the colors of these buttons very easy without creating new buttons. Just change the gradients and background colors and you will be good to go.

Note: Click to Enlarge!

Create new document 800px x 800px 72dpi. Background Color #58d7f8

Step 2

Select the blur paint brush tool 800px, color #ffffff, and create a circle in the middle of the document

Step 3

Now select the rectangle tool color: 4db0ca and create a rectangle box at the bottom of the document. Does not have to be exact.

Right click on the rectangle layer>>Blending options>>Gradient Overlay. Blend mode: Normal, Opacity:100, Style:Linear, Angle:90, and Scale:100%.
