Difficulty : star.pngstar.png
• Step 1: Create a new image (something like 500 X 200 is good here, you can crop the result later). Make sure the RGB mode is selected, now click ok!• Step 2: Go to Filter>> Render>> Clouds. Then go to Filter>> Render>> Difference Clouds.
Press Ctrl + F (Command + F for Mac users) about 5 or 6 times.

• Step 3: Go to Filter>> Blur>> Radial Blur and use these settings:
Amount: 51, Blur Method: Zoom, Quality: Best or Good.

• Step 4: Go to Filter>> Texture>> Patchwork. Set the Square Size to 1 and the Relief to 2. Then go to Filter>> Sharpen>> Sharpen.

• Step 5: Duplicate the layer (Layer>> Duplicate) and just use the default settings. Next, go to Filter>> Stylise>> Extrude. Use the following settings:
Type: Blocks, Size: 5, Depth: 30, Random. Keep the boxes below that unchecked.

• Step 6: Go to Filter>> Blur>> Gaussian Blur and set the radius at 0.7. Now change the layers opacity to 50% and merge the layers (Crtl+E is merge).

• Step 7: Now it’s time to add some color. Press Ctrl + U, check the ‘Colorize’ box and simply move the sliders around until you get a nice color. Also, hit Ctrl+L to change things until you get the lighting how you want it.

That’s it! I hope this helps. Remember to keep coming back.
