Design Pontiac G8 wallpaper

Here we will tell you how to make a Pontiac G8 wallpaper in Photoshop CS4.

Start working with picture of a Pontiac G8 car (I use this image), having the sizes of 1280x876px and 72 dpi.

On a new layer (Create new layer) we’ll select the Brush Tool (B) to dark out the bottom part of the picture, choosing the black color for this operation.

Using the Rectangle Tool (U), begin darkening the general picture’s nuance.

Next we’ll represent a separate file of 1280×1024 px and 72 dpi, applying on it the Pen Tool (P) and the Convert Point Tool for drawing an element, like the one from below:

Next try rasterizing the element’s layer. In this case we’ll need creating a new layer and then while pressing CTRL button, mark out the corresponding layers and then press CTRL+E. For this layer we’ll choose also the option Filter>Blur>Motion blur

Make two copies of the last layer. Press Ctrl+Alt buttons and click two times the button on the keyboard indicating downwards direction. Using the Free Transform option, situate the copies as they are on the picture:

Put together the layers containing the lines (press CTRL button to mark out the corresponding layers and then press CTRL+E). The black background is convenient in this case, it just doesn’t exist. Place on it only the paste together lines’ layers.

Make a copy of this layer and use the Free Transform option to turn over the copies and compress them a little by vertical direction.

Clean out that part of the lines situating in front of the car. We’ll just make a mouse click on the layers’ palette on each of the lines’ layers on Add a Mask selection and use a standard brush of black color to clean those fragments we are interested in.

Create a new layer under the lines’ layers where we’ll apply a standard brush to represent an illuminating nuance by outlining accurately the lines. The brush’s color is #287C96

Blending mode-Lighten
