The idea of this tutorial is to practice Gradient Tool with different color gradations.



This is why go create a document first:



Select the very standard PS gradient - it's this one.



Draw and slide the gradient from side to side first:



Change the mode from normal to difference: oh it changes the colors: good combination



Create a new layer:



Select the light blue color and foreground Color to transparency gradient. Blending more is set to Linear Light:



Slide the gradient from lower right corner to upper right: It gives more blue:







Give it a little bit more:



Now select another color: let's say yellow. When you are changing your foreground color the gradient color changes automatically.



Slide it from up and down.



Zoom in:



Now I've found this very good plug-in for Photoshop that is called Filter Forge - you can download trial version somewhere in the internet - just type the words in Google: So one of the advantages o this plug- in that is has a very powerful Distortion and so called Creative generators. So here we are: in creative section



Here are multiple settings available:



Here is the effect - as you can see the picture is covered with blight dots: I really like it: Now the next step will be masking and a little bit of color adjustments: so this is my mask selection done using (Q) Quick mask and black to white gradient ( to define the areas of the selection).



Create a copy of the layer tight now:



Apply zigzag filler that can be found in Filters>Distortion>Zigzag



Hide the part of the effect by masking the upper layer:



Now it is Type part I will use only one fond witness how basic font (with only size change can make things better:















Overall result:



And here we have it - hope you enjoyed doing this like I did.
