Are you asking about the texture of the blue area?

 

[gautamz07]

yeah Iansam . i am just a Photoshop Newbie and my boss expects soo much , i need to submit a poster , i designed one just now , tell me if its ok pls .
pls give me your honest review .

 

[hawkeye]

Spelling "architect" correctly would be a good start. The pen tool is best making the shape in question, but it takes practice to master it.

 

[gautamz07]

MMmmmm Interesting point there hawkeye !! Thank u and yeah may b my spell check was't working . i know how to use the pen tool , except i donno how to make that shape !!!

 

[IamSam]

What shape?

The shape in the first image from post #1?

I asked if you were wanting the texture (not the shape) and you said yes................

 

[gautamz07]

yeah iamsam , the blue thing , the whole blue thing !!! ))

TY

 

[IamSam]

As far as the shape is concerned and since you claim to know how to use the Pen Tool, this is how you make the shape.

Create two layers...
The top layer blue and the bottom layer white.



Notice that the blue layer is selected/highlighted.

Using the Pen Tool set to path, create a curvy path....



When done with the path, right click and select "make a selection", click OK.
It will now look like this....



Then hit Shift + Control/Command + I to invert the selection.
It will now look like this.....



Now hit delete and then hit Command/Control + D to deselect....

Woow !!!!!! . THANK YOU , . I still need to add some design , i will be back soon on the same thread , tomorrrow . Thank you for making it soo simple .

 

[gautamz07]

Heres what i did , hope you like it , and yeah i used the inverse selection trick too .. now Iam , as in the first image , i would like too add some effects too , can u help me with that too ? like what tools would be good for an effect like that ?

thank you .

 

[IamSam]

After you invert the selection and hit delete, hit Command/Control + D to deselect.

I'm not sure how the texture was made on the original image you posted, I will have to see if I can find a tutorial on that.

 

[gautamz07]

Actually Iam , any kind of an effect will do , need not be very complecated , it need not look too good also , just an effect for the sake of an effect . BTW , Iam , i have just posted a new thread called "subtle effect" , pls check it out when your free , and give me your inputs , Thank s for your time and help.

As for the fx on the background image..

You can use a duplicate/rasterized image copy of the text and apply a horizontal motion blur to it.

As for the wavy lines, you can create it yourself or use google to find a source vector image. And do what I outlined in the other thread you posted.

 

[dv8_fx]

Like this...



The effect is applied on the rasterized text copy positioned below the original text layer.

I had to apply the effect a few times to get a good blur I like (CTRL+F) after which I transformed/stretch the blur and lowered the layer opacity.


Not as close as what you have in your sample. Maybe its because the text was all caps..... (looks like it tho)... but its a start....

the key is the motion blur filter.....

 

[gautamz07]

I am guessing , ur rastizing the text layer which is on the top Div8 .

Thank you .

 

[dv8_fx]

Yes... create a duplicate of the text layer and rasterize it. Move below the un-rasterized text layer...

or simply click/select the original text layer below and rasterize that.... same result, your choice. Difference is there's no need to re-label the layer for easy identification. .... .....

 

[gautamz07]

I tried it yeeeey ! it worked .

 

[dv8_fx]

White looks better.....
