[Request] Light wave tutorial?

[Crivitz Chris]

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum and was hoping that anybody here can assist me as web searches have come up inconclusive :banghead:

What I am trying to find is the effect that can create the "lined wave" design that is above the GT-A logo. I don't know what you call it and how to recreate it. It's multiple lines that follow a wave/ribbon direction. Searching for Ribbons and wave tutorials haven't lead to the results I was looking for.

Any assistance will be appreciated!

Hey Chris and welcome to PSG.

One trick I use is to search Google images. Here are 2 searches, take a look to see if any are similar to what your looking for.

You could just make straight lines and curve them as you whish with the Liquify filter or Warp effect

Or perhaps you could try to make what is called a Physiogram. http://photoextremist.com/how-to-create-physiogram-long-exposure-photographs
They are created by making a faint light (like a LED) swing on a string, capturing the movement with the camera on the floor set on long exposure mode in total darkness. The down side is that it's always circles and ellipses but with the Liquify filter, all modifications are opened. The up side is that in Physiograms, even if it is a missed one, just a tiny section of it can be a masterpiece. The fist one bellow is just a small part of a huge one.


Three of my own tries at Physiograms



This one is negative colors




A complete one using different colored mica filters and a crossing pass
