For this tutorial i used a tube from Jose Cano,
I bought this tube when he was at PTE,
You can now buy his tubes from Scraps and the City here
Scrapkit used is called `Swag Alley Blues` from Manipulated by Magik
You can purchase this great kit from Scrap-A-Licious
Font for name is Lakmus get that here
Filters used-Eye Candy 4000-Gradient Glow
&
Dsb Flux-Bright Noise
Onto the tut.....
Open a new image 650x650-You can resize later-and flood fill with white.
Paste `city skyline` as a new layer,and resize by 80%.Add a drop shadow-i use 2,2 50 5- and sharpen.
Paste your tube as a new layer,and place in front of the skyline.
Click on the white background and paste
the circle wire element as a new layer,resize by 90%,i gave this a grey/silver gradient glow.
Then paste frame 4 as a new layer,resize by 80% and place over the wire frame.
Paste in the mirror ball on top and again resize by 80%.
Use your deform tool to stretch it along the skyline,use my tag for reference.
Paste the gangsta wordart as a new layer,and place in front of your tube,
resize by 95% and sharpen.Now add anything else you like from the kit,
and place either side of the wordart.
I used pimp cup,earrings and the dice.
I gave the wordart a gradient glow,using colour #174b54.
Now add some elements from the kit around the circle frame,resizing and sharpening as you go.
Add your name now,i used Lakmus font,i used a silver gradient for the stroke,
and black for the fill.
Add your copyrights,delete the white background,and merge all.
Save as a png and that`s it you are done!
If you want to add the animation,click on the disco ball layer,then with your magic wand,
click on one of the lines of the squares,then go to selections>modify and click select similar.
Mine is on the default settings,so now you should see marching ants
all across the disco ball.
Duplicate this layer twice.close off the top and second layer and click on the
original layer.Now apply Dsb flux,put a dot in the mix circle,and change the intensity to 40.
Close off this layer,click on the middle one and apply dsb flux,but change the intensity
this time to 35.
Close off this layer and now click on the top one,do the same as above changing the intensity to 30.
Now go to edit,copy merged and paste into animation shop.
Back on psp,close off that layer,open the middle one,edit copy merged,
then take it into animation shop,and paste after current frame.
Repeat for the top layer,remembering to close off the layers as you go.
Now you should have 3 frames in animation shop.
Go to view animation,and make sure the animation properties are set to 10.
Save and that`s it :)
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.
