Hey everyone,

I have just signed up but by no means am I a noob to the website. I have been using this place for nearly 6 months now but I really do need some help.

If you watch the video below, I am trying to make some sports graphics (outline only) for a project I am working on. By no means am I new to Photoshop, I have used it for nearly 2-3 years now but I just can't seem to make the scoreboard boarder.

I have used masking and manually drawing the border pixel by pixel but still no luck it never looks like the border in the video.

Just to reiterate I just want the white border. I know all the motion stuff in after effects and the team logos are done but I just can't make the damn white border with the grey/black outline.

Please forum,

help me (:

p.s. sorry I can't post the start of the link.
 
Wow. I didn't know that such effect can be achieved only by blending mode. I always thought that such things need to be painted.

P.S. Okey i get it now :) ... dots should be blured to achieve that effect. Smooth.

not even that complicated custom shape duo tone pattern with a clipping mask to the custom shape then a gradient radial white to black overlay also clipped in then a stroke applied duplicate the layer and so a bigger stroke.
 
I think I may have explained it wrong. What I want is just the border. I don't want the graphics inside or anything just the border around it made exactly like the one in the video. I think Hoogleman did okay but I want the border specific to the video and the black in your psd was a bit to much. From what I can see around the Verizon logo there is a dark grey outline/white middle/dark grey outline again but I just can't seem to recreate it exactly... ):
 
Did you mean A B or C if it is B then that is a case of white background pattern over lay and a gradient with white to dark grey maybe

If you look around a, around the verizon logo the dark grey/off white border.

Oh that is just a white shape with a grey stroke then the same shape slightly larger in a dirty white / grey with either a very weak stroke and shadow
 
Thanks Hoogleman, you have been very helpful. Without sounding like a douche is there anyway you could just try to recreate it for me? Just to see if it is possible to recreate since you know what you doing? Just a quick make up of it like a circle or something?
 
OK sorry my resolution is set up for something else and the sizes are over exagerated if you made it using shape tools it would be better quality but here it is with psd to see how it is created. This is not meant to be a show piece

I would do it in PS by pen tool.
1. Make rectangle.
2. Add one anchor point in middle of one side.
3. Move it a little outside.
4. Dublicate shape/path and mirror it.

Then all stuff with stroke etc.
 
Why?
You don't know how to use pen/shape tool?
If no then you'll have problem to recreate scoreboard.

But at other side thats good training and chance to improve skill by doing something that you intrested in.

P.S. I hate when i start to sound "wisdom" and "mature" - i'm not following that advice myself too often.
 
Thanks for the motivation SeniorS (: I am myself an After Effects user and I want to try to merge the 2 together and its becoming increasingly hard for me and frustrating as you gathered. I have learnt a lot from these forums and I will still try to carry on to figure out how to do this but I understand that Im sure you and Hoogleman have other things to do than to help me all day (:
 
OK easy option is change the default brush pallet and ammend it to include the square brushes
choose the colour you want the background copy top be and on a new layer click once with a large square brush
select the standard hard round brush and do the same at both ends of the square.
Change your eraser tool to the hard square brush line it up with the center of the square at the tophold down shift key and move cursor from side to side so excess circle goes. then add the stroke to that layer/ drop shadow
then repeat but with smaller brushes for the inside. on new layer
 
Do you think taking a screenshot and then importing it into illustrator and then turning it into a vector and cleaning it up would work? I am much more confident in Illustrator than Photoshop...
 
Turning it into vector by Illustrator buildin function will not help at all. And will be almost unchangable.
But good idea. Use image as background (draft) and make your shapes, lines, text over it.
 
I am sure it is the kind of thing you can get a custom shape for just need to know the name that way it will be like a vector
