GO FROM THIS:
TO THIS:
in ELEVEN steps. =D
Program: PS7 (should be translatable.)
Other note(s): This may not work on every picture, I suppose it depends on what the original image looks like. =)
STEP ONE:
Crop your image down to 100x100 pixels
STEP TWO:
Duplicate your image and set it to screen at 100% opacity
STEP THREE:
Create a new layer and fill it with F69679 and then set it to darken at 100% opacity
STEP FOUR:
Go back to your original image and duplicate it and set it to screen 100% opacity
STEP FIVE:
Again, duplicate your original image and drag to the top and then set it to overlay 100% opacity
STEP SIX:
Create a new layer and fill it with 0D004C and then set it to exclusion at 100% opacity
STEP SEVEN:
Duplicate your original image again and drag it to the top and set it to screen 100% opacity
STEP EIGHT:
Create a new layer and fill it with 6DF687 and then set the layer to colourburn at 38% opacity (or, whatever looks best to you. =) )
STEP NINE:
AGAIN, duplicate your original image and set it to overlay at 100% opacity
STEP TEN:
And finally I wrote "ian" on the icon (The font I used, if you're wondering, was ANG HAND which I found
HERE just scroll down and look out for a font that says ang hand. =) )
STEP ELEVEN:
and for the last step, take
THIS light texture and put it under your TEXT layer, and you're done!! =D
ALSO, if you'd like to show me your results from the tutorial feel free to post them in a comment as I would love to see any! =D
