			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial you will learn how to create a retro style poster. This is not an advance tutorial but you should have basic knowledge of photoshop. If you do not then you should still be fine. Sorry about the image quality.</p>
<div class="block_dload">
<a class="dload" href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/07/downloads/Retro-Wallpaper.rar" title="Download" target="_blank">Download</a> <a class="demo" href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/wallpaper.jpg" title="demonstration" target="_blank">Final</a>
</div>
<h2>Step 1</h2>
<p>Create new document 1280px x 1000px 72dpi. Background Color #000(Black)<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/1.new.jpg" alt="Create new document" /></p>
<h2>Step 2</h2>
<p>Go to <strong>Filter&gt;&gt;Noise&gt;&gt;Add Noise</strong>. <strong>Amount:</strong>7.16% <strong>Distribution:</strong>Gaussian<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/2.noise.jpg" alt="Add Noise" /></p>
<h2>Step 3</h2>
<p>Select the rectangle tool <strong>color:</strong>#3f3f72. Create a rectangle size dose not matter.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/3.rectangle.jpg" alt="Create Rectangle" /></p>
<h2>Step 4</h2>
<p>Now we will duplicate the layer and change the color 3 times. <strong>2nd Color:</strong>#5a1e7d , <strong>3rd Color:</strong>#aa0f80 , <strong>4th Color:</strong>#fe34a6.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/4.colornums.jpg" alt="Create 4 Rectangles" /></p>
<h2>Step 5</h2>
<p>After you have duplicated the layers in step 4 you will now merge the layers together. Unselect the background layer and right click on a layer and select Merge <strong>Visible</strong>.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/5.merge.jpg" alt="Merge Layers" /></p>
<h2>Step 6</h2>
<p>Ok Now lets select our merge layer now and change the layer opacity to 40%.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/6.layeropacity.jpg" alt="layer opacity" /></p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> We will duplicate our retro lines quite often so be prepared!</p>
<h2>Step 7</h2>
<p>Duplicate the retro lines layer and make the first retro lines layer invisible. Now lets start making our lines. Press CTRL + T, or go to <strong>Edit&gt;&gt;Free Transform</strong> and stretch retro lines across screen diagonal.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/7.stretch.jpg" alt="stretch" /></p>
<h2>Step 8</h2>
<p>Now lets make our invisible retro lines layer visible and duplicate the layer so you will have another copy of it.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/8.layer-reapeat.jpg" alt="Copy layer repeat" /></p>
<h2>Step 9</h2>
<p>Now this is the fun and maybe confusing part but I will try my best to explain everything. Drag your copied retro line layer aside of the first layer<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/9.aside.jpg" alt="First Layer/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now to go &lt;b&gt;Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img src=" /></p>
<p>Then go to Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/warp2.jpg" alt"Warp" /></p>
<p>Now you should see a menu in the top left corner of photoshop. Select the drop down menu and choose <b>Fish</b><br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/menu.jpg" alt="fish" /></p>
<h2>Step 10</h2>
<p>Repeat the last step and select the one that suits you best. I used fish for my last one.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/10.repeat.jpg" alt="View example" /></p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> For the next step I used special space brushes. You can download them <a href="http://sunira.deviantart.com/art/Nebulae-Brushes-18959502">here!</a>(Look at the top left for a download link)</p>
<h2>Step 11</h2>
<p>Now Lets add a little bit of space dust to our image. Select the brush tool <strong>Color:</strong>#661542, then select the nebula 6 brush.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/11.select-brush.jpg" alt="Nebula Brush" /></p>
<p>Now make two splats going diagonal or shall I say space dust.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/11-2.brush-splat.jpg" alt="Space Dust" /></p>
<h2>Step 12</h2>
<p>Now Lets add some cool retro text to our wallpaper. Select the text tool <strong>Color:#fff</strong>, <strong>Size:</strong>150px, <strong>font:</strong>AvantGarde-Demi, if you do not have that font Arial works fine. Now type whatever you would like.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/12.fontwhite.jpg" alt="Text" /></p>
<h2>Step 13</h2>
<p>After you have successfully entered your desired text right click on the text layer<strong>&gt;&gt;Blend options&gt;&gt;Drop Shadow</strong>. Copy Drop shadow settings.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/13-1.dropset.jpg" alt="Drop Shadow settings" /></p>
<p>Now select<strong> Outer glow</strong>. Copy Outer Glow Settings<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/13-2.outglowset.jpg" alt="Outer Glow settings" /></p>
<p>Now select<strong>Gradient Overlay</strong>. Copy Gradient Overlay settings<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/13-3.gradset.jpg" alt="Gradient Overlay settings" /></p>
<p>Double click on the gradient bar. <strong>Left Color:</strong>#661542 , <strong>Right Color:</strong>#291832<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/13-3_2.gradset.jpg" alt="Gradient Overlay settings" /></p>
<p>Now select<strong>Stroke</strong>. Copy Stroke settings<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/13-4.stroke.jpg" alt="Stroke settings" /></p>
<h2>Step 14</h2>
<p>You should now have something like this.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/14.textex.jpg" alt="Text Example" /></p>
<h2>Step 15</h2>
<p>Now to add the 3D Effect to our text. Duplicate the text layer in move it to the right a bit and you should have a 3d effect.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webdevtuts/uploads/2009/09/walltut/15.retro.jpg" alt="3d text" /></p>
<p>From here you could add more splats and space effects but I will stop here. I hope this tutorial was useful. Please link your final result. It will be quite exciting to see what you have come up with.</p>
