Graphic Arts Wallpaper Tutorial

A simple wallpaper made with Photoshop.

This is a recent design that I did when a friend of mine challenged me to make a wallpaper or display of a gaming character. The design too me about an hour to do from start to finish and it wasn’t a very complicated design at all. I started with a black background then rendered the picture of Altair by hand and then scaled him down to size. After that, I re-pasted the image of Altair and moved the layer underneath the original to put it into the background and enlarged it and then turned the opacity down to about 45 percent. Next I took a brush that I downloaded and I made the sprays in the corner. After that i made a new layer and painted it black and then cut out the center of it to make the tiny border on the outside. After that I repeated the same thing but made the box a little smaller and painted it white and then cut it out once again to create the white border. Lastly I made the font. I spelled the letters out individually and then placed them into the order they are in. Afterwards I merged all of the letters together to do a single effect on them. Using shadows and colors I created the effects that they have. Hope you enjoy the picture that I have posted and hope you have a good time trying to re-create it as best you can. Once again, a simple picture but it looks pretty good.
