Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
I am using tubes by Enys Guerrero
The tubes are available at
CDO.
Plugins:
Mura's Meisters: Copies
Xero: Illustrator
Supplies: 2 Tubes of choice
DBV Mask 110 here
Open a 700x700 new image.
Open two tubes of choice by an artist.
Select your preset shape tool. I am using
the shape ellipse - & have it set to circle.
On Materials palette, hide the stroke color for now.
Select black or color of choice for the fill color.
Holding shift button down, draw out
a circle to desired size. The shift button
helps you draw out a perfect circle. The same
will work with square and such as well.
Once you have your shape, convert to raster.
Duplicate three more times for a total of
4 shape layers. Arrange as wanted on your tag.
Select the original shape in your layer palette
& with your magic wand on the circle itself. Copy
& paste your 1st tube as a new layer.
Selections - invert & press delete.
Select none. Merge the two layers together.
Select another shape layer & the shape itself with
the magic wand. Paste the same tube again as a new layer.
Selections - invert & press delete.
Select none. Merge the two layers together.
Repeat the above steps with the 2nd tube and the
other two shape layers.
Merge the shape layers together.
Selet your selection tool. Draw out a horizontal rectangle
going across two shape layers.
I chose to select around the eyes of the tubes I used.
On your layer palette, right click on the shape layer
& select Promote selection to layer.
Select none on your image.
On the promoted layer, go to adjust
Hue & saturation - set both to 0. This will greyscale
the layer.
Duplicate the shape layer. On the bottom or original
layer, apply the plugin
Mura's Meisters: Copies - Wallpaper-default settings.
Apply the mask DBV Mask 110.
Merge group. Resize the mask group 94%.
Duplicate the shape layer 1 more time.
On the middle shape layer, adjust
Blur - Gauassian Blur 7.00.
On the mask wallpaper layer,
apply the plugin Xero: Illustrator
Abstraction 25
Colouration 88
Definition 185
You can also press random to find
one you like as well but those are the numbers
of the one I chose to use.
Lower the opacity of the top shape layer
to 75%. This will allow a bit of the blur from the
below layer to show through.
On your Materials palette, switch the colors
so black is on stroke and the Fill is hidden for now.
Select your preset shape tool if you are using circle shape
as I am. We are going to draw out a circle to do text on.
If using another shape, then do your text as you normally would.
Draw out a circle around a shape on your tag.
Holding shift button down, draw out
a circle to desired size. The shift button
helps you draw out a perfect circle.
Do not convert to raster. Duplicate this layer 1 time.
Move the duplicate layer to another position of choice.
Now select your text tool & a font of choice.
Choose a color from your tag for the text ( fill ) layer on
the Materials palette.
On the 1st vector circle, hover the mouse until you get the A )
symbol. Now you can type on a curve.
After typing out desired text, do not convert to raster yet.
Expand this layer in your layer palette by clicking the + symbol.
Then click on the eye of the circle layer to hide it. After that, close the
layer back up & convert to raster. Easy.
Repeat the above section with the 2nd vector layer &
the rest of your text.
Crop the layers & merge visible.
Add artist copyright information & name for the tag.
Save as png.
