Wallpaper With Logo

The next lesson we'll see how is it possible to make the wallpapers by combining several of them. We'll see also how to work with the light, increase the picture's quality and create the effect of a pressed text.

Open firstly a new file: File – New (ctrl+n).



On a new window must be opened the texture of leather: File – Open (ctrl+o).



Mark it out with the known tool already, Rectangular Marquee Tool, make a copy of it: Edit – Copy (ctrl+c) and get back to the Wallpaper file to insert the copy on a new layer: Edit – Paste (ctrl+v). Correct the texture's size by using the next option: Edit – Free Transform (ctrl+t). Copy this layer: Layer – Duplicate Layer (ctrl+j) and blur out the copy with the next selection: Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur.



Change the layer's blending mode on Multiply.



Combine both layers: Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e) and correct a little the color. First apply the next command: Image – Adjustments – Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u).



Then use the color filter: Image – Adjustments – Photo Filter.



Make the picture look sharper now: Filter – Sharpen – Sharpen. Then on two new layers you'll have to introduce the next texture:



One of these layers must be turned around, firstly vertically: Edit – Transform – Flip Vertical, then – horizontally: Edit – Transform – Flip Horizontal. Make use after that of the Polygonal Lasso Tool to delete those places on both layers where we have fewer fissures.



Applying the same instrument, we should mark out the texture's part which will be erased carefully along the fissures' line.



Erase the marked place and combine the layers containing the fissures (ctrl+e).
