An Urban-Style Piece of Artwork
August 3rd, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Designing
Combine in a group all the layers containing the loud speaker (press Ctrl button to mark out the corresponding layers and keep pressed the left mouse’s button while taking the marked layers down on Create a new group selection). Make three copies of the group containing the loud speaker. Using the Fee Transform option, it’s possible to change the copies’ sizes, placing them as it is shown below: 
Make a copy of the layer containing the red patch situated on the right bottom corner of the picture. Change the layer’s color on white and then choose again the Free Transform option to situate the copy as below: 
Set for this layer Fill 70%. 
Make three copies of the layer containing the white patch on the left bottom corner. Select the Free Transform option to make some changes on the copies’ sizes, placing them the same way demonstrated next picture: 
Create a new layer again on which we shall use the Brush Tool (B) out of the set Swirls_And_Flowers_Brushes_PS_by_Coby17 
On the last stage we shall represent several shining fires. In this case we have to create a new layer, using on it the standard brush. 
Select the next parameters for the layer containing the fires.
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay 
Gradient’s parameters: 
The final result!

I am not quite sure what I just did but, you have to play with the selection/ image and inverse in the color range adjustment step. It turned up as a black burst, then when the color grad is applied it turns out. It was the only way I could get the free transform to act properly. Ill report back after I practice this step again. Thanks of rthe lesson I had been looking for this very technique.

Aghh. I don’t have those shapes. I suppose I could just do a gradient and distort it to get the same effect, though.

Anyone having trouble with the flower and swirls brushes here is another link I found!
http://myphotoshopbrushes.com/brushes/id/114
The link on this tutorial has a .rar file download that won’t upload for me in CS5. The link I provided downloads as a .zip. You then double click on it and it creates a .abr file which I then can open through photoshop.

I’m new with Photoshop and I’m having trouble with the “Color Range” step where you have to click “Free Transform”. I do that, but it won’t let me move the black burst. Can someone please precisely explain to me how to do this?
