Icon tutorial
Yay, my first tutorial. We're gonna do this icon in 10 easy steps:
First, open the texture you want to use. I chose this one, made by grrliz.
Drag the picture you've chosen on top of the texture.
Set it to Pin light, opacity 45%.
Now drag the smaller picture (that you have resized) on top of the other layers.
Set it to Lighten, opacity 100%.
Create new layer and draw the lines. I draw them with line tool, using color #4C1727.
Now go to Filters > Blur > Motion blur. I set it to 38.
Almost there! Now add the text. The font I used is Pharmacy, color white and size 14. I also added some black outer glow (Layer > Layer style > Outer glow...) to make the text stand out.
I flipped the text and set it to Soft light.
And we're done! It wasn't that hard, was it? If you decide to try this tutorial, I would love to see what you come up with! :) Remember to play around with the settings and colors, these settings don't always work with every pictures.
