Tutorial Details

• Program: Adobe Illustrator CS4
• Difficulty: Intermediate
• Estimated Completion Time: 60 minutes

Step 1

First let’s create a new “Land” layer. Create a new shape of the Earth, and fill it with the linear gradient.

Create a “BG” layer under the “land” layer. Let’s work on that background (layer “BG”). Create a rectangle 800px by 600px in the “BG” layer using the Rectangle Tool. Create it at a size of 400px wide by 300px height, and fill it with a blue color. Close the “BG” layer.

Now we’ll create the soil texture on the land layer. Select Artistic Textures > Stipple from the Symbols library and pour it over the soil surface. Then apply Object > Expand. Apply a linear gradient to the soil shapes.

Copy the form of the surface of the soil and set it above the texture. Select the upper figure and texture, use Crop from the palette Pathfinder, cutting the texture out of the outlining figure as shown.

Step 2

Now we’ll design and color the background sky. Use the Mesh Tool to create a mesh and then color a sector as shown below.

Let’s create the clouds next. First make new “cloud” layer, which goes above the “BG” layer. On this new layer, create ellipses, setting them one above another in order to compose a cloud. Now Select All, Add to Shape Area, and click Expand in the Pathfinder palette.

Place these clouds over the gradient sky, change the transparency so some look a bit off in the distance. Place them one above another as your imagination sees fit. We won’t fill in the center because the whirlwind will be set there.

Step 3

Now let’s design the skyscrapers. First create, a new “Skyscraper” layer, set above the “cloud” layer. Create a rectangle 50px by 200px, then apply Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel, and the settings are shown below.

Make a few more rectangles in the same way and set one above the other.

Let’s make the windows of the front of a house. Create the square 5px by 5px, duplicating it we create a row of windows. Select and group the windows. Use Effect > 3D > Rotate.

The same action will be done with the windows of the second façade of a skyscraper. The picture of facades on the edges of a shape can be set in another way. Create a façade with the same size as the edge of the 3D shape your working with, move a façade into the Symbols palette, select a 3D shape and then click 3D Extrude & Bevel in the Appearance palette. Then select Map Art in the open dialogue window, find the needed side and add the symbol.

Select all the objects of a skyscraper and go to Object > Expand > Appearance. Now we’ll create the effect of a sagging skyscraper under the wind of a tornado. Group all the elements of a skyscraper, and apply Effect > Warp > Arc, with the parameters shown in the picture below.

Now move a skyscraper clockwise a bit. Ungroup the objects of a skyscraper and fill the windows with a linear gradient.

Create and place the skyscrapers so that the street area is formed.

Now the effect of a house trembling will be created. Duplicate the house and move it around its bearing point of the foundation a bit and then change the Opacity to 25%.

Step 4

Now we’ll create a tornado. First, make a new “tornado” layer and set it under the “land” layer. Create a five pointed star in the upper are of the illustration. Now pour over it with a radial gradient. Now turn the star into a twister with the Twirl Tool.

Duplicate it, turn it, change the scale, transparency, direction and colors to create the tornado.

Create luminescence around the tornado by putting two copies of it in the background, in the Transparency palette change the Blending Mode to Overlay, and Opacity to 60%.

Step 5

Now we’ll create a running man. Draw a wire frame. The direction of movement is from right to the left and is composed so the spectator sees it as an escape.

Now work out the details of the sketch. You may need to do some research of men in business suits to get this drawing just right.

Create a new “man” layer above the “land” layer. Go over the sketch using the Pen Tool (P). After drawing the head shapes, add details with a brush, then fill with a linear gradient.

Continue creating the shapes that compose the drawing using the Pen Tool.

Color the elements with the working colors and set them in the right order in sub layers.

And now we will work with colors and shadows. Work with a linear gradient. The right hand of a man is drawn separately and a radial gradient is added there.

The final running man figure is done.

Step 6

Now let’s design simple dollar images. First create a new “dollars” layer above all the \ other layers. A banknote is created with simple shapes and the use of the Pen Tool (P).

Group all the elements of a banknote. We will work with its duplicates. Reduce the duplicate of an example to the needed sizes and create a banknote which will fly from the case. Select guide and banknote, then use Divide from the Pathfinder; group and set sub layers in the right order and delete unnecessary parts of the dollars.

By duplicating and changing the scale we create flying banknotes.

Change the shapes of banknotes by applying Effect > Warp > Arch. Feel free to experiment with other shapes as well.

Conclusion

This tutorial moved at a quick pace and covered alot of ground. It gives you an overall look at how to compose this piece, with tips and techniques shown for each area of this design. Have fun creating your own city landscapes built on interesting themes from your imagination. Good luck!

Step 1: You must use a tripod (or anything else which can hold your camera stand still). Then, shoot the 1st photo with yourselft in it, in order to make it natural, I recommend that you should take photo with a friend. Next, shoot the sencond one. Okie, with the second photo, you can change your appearance a little bit (a small different will convince viewersa perspective), changing your T-shirt, hair style, for example. Important: just chaging yourself and your position in the scene, keep the rest as it was in the 1st shoot.

The two photos should look like following:

Step 2: Go to Photoshop and put these two photos together, each gets a layer.

Step 3: in order to see the different between two photo, let’s choose the blend option of the first layer to “Overlay”.
So now you can indentify the different clearly.

Step 4: use the earaser the remove the different details of the first layer comparing to the second layer.

You need to put attention to edges and details

Conclusion: Yay, the last step is to flat the photo and you got a super realistic photo which can supprise your parents and friends. The key point to make the photo realy real is: you are the only one who changed, and the surrouding environment was kept exactly the same between the two shoots.
You can make three, four, or five of yourself, just follow that simple trick.
Good luck, dudes!

2. How to Create Batman Logo in Photoshop Tutorial
3. How To Design a Colorful Web Layout in Photoshop

This tutorial is very useful for beginners in Photoshop here is step by step creating an iconic Bat logo of  Batman the superhero, here you are how to create Photoshop logo step by step using different Photoshop tools such as Pen Tool to sketch out the ‘bat’ and a set of Heavy Scratches brushes to add a great amount of detail to the bat logo.

Step 1

With a document size of 800 by 600 px, resolution of 140 dpi and a white background, I started with an outline of the original bat logo which I desaturated and; the contrast increased thus, leaving nothing but the shape of the logo.We’ll be using this shape as guides for our actual bat logo.

Step 2

For greater accuracy, we’ll have to enable grid lines for our document by going to View>Show>Grid.

The document enabled with Grids.

Step 3

Create a new layer ‘bat’ and on the Tools bar, select the Pen Tool and map out the shape of the bat logo as shown below:

Step 4

Now for the intricate part. For other tools options under the Pen Tool, select the Add Anchor Point Tool and add a number of points to the straight lines of the logo. With your mouse or the directional keys on the keyboard, move the Anchor points steadily upwards or diagonally to create a curve(s).

Step 5

For more smoother curves, drag the handles of the Anchor Points in the direction most appropriate.

Step 6

Add more Anchor Points and repeat the previous steps to create more curves.

Step 7

For the edges of the logo, more specifically points of the wings, ensure that they’re rounded and not sharp.

Below is the final result:

Step 8

I deleted the layer that I used as my guides and pressing Ctrl+-, the Grids were removed.

Step 9

Fill the bat logo with a grey colour.

Step 10

From www.sxc.com, download for free this brushed metal texture. Now position the top most part of the metal texture over the bat logo.

Holding down the ALT key, click inbetween the ‘bat’ and ‘metal’ layers for a Layer Clipping Mask.

Step 11

Double-click on the ‘bat’ layer and select a Bevel and Emboss Layer style. Set its parameters as shown below:

Step 12

Follow up with a Gradient Overlay style and set and adjust the Gradient Color Stops:

B.
Reduce the Gradient’s Opacity to 60%or lower, set its Style to Radial and Angle at 0degrees.

Step 13

Also select a Drop Shadow Layer Style and set its parameters as shown below:

Step 14

Now to create some scratches and dents on the metallic bat logo. We’ll be using two sets of Scratch brushes. The Heavy Scratches brushes can be downloaded fromDawghousestudio.com and another Scratches brush by can be downloaded fromBrushstock.com.Load these brushes into Photoshop and select the brush of choice from the Brushes Palette and change the foreground colour to black. These brushes have huge pixels larger than our working document and so we’ll must reduce the size of the brush(es) on application (painting that is). Do create a new layer for this.

Step 15

Hit Ctrl+T to enter the Free Transform mode and with the mouse position close to corner the selection, rotate it slightly diagonally. This is ensure some of the brush strokes don’t appear too linear.

Step 16

Select the Eraser Tool (E), and clear the brushes marks that might be left outside the logo. Also erase just slightly the inner edges of the logo. Reduce brush opacity to 90%.

The result below:

Step 17

With the ‘bat’ logo selected, create an Inner Shadow Layer style. Reduce the Shadow’s Opacity to 30%, its Angle to a 100degrees, Distance at 5 px and Size at 4 px.

Step 18

We now use another metal texture for the background. You can download this or any other metal texture you might fancy from http://www.3dmd.net/gallery/large-free-brushed-metal-texture-fs125.html.

Step 19

Press Ctrl+U for the Hue/Saturation Dialog box and make the adjusts as shown below. This sort of, to a degree desaturate the texture. (A full desaturation would have left the texture with a faint bluish tint).

Step 20

Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set the Blur Radius to 0.7 pixels.

Step 21

Still on the ‘background’ layer, select the Heavy Scratches brush once again and increase the brush size just large enough to cover the entire background texture.

Step 22

Select a couple of other Heavy Scratch brushes from the Brushes Palette and reduce their sizes and then paint away.

Step 23

Change the brush colour to white and reduce its opacity to 80% and add some more scratch markings around the bat logo.

Step 24

Go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects and set the Light Type as Omni and Intensity to 9.

Step 25

Have the background image sharpen by going to Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen. Press Ctrl+F to Sharpen again.

Step 26

Select the Burn Tool (O), set the Burn Range to Highlight and Exposure to 45%. Burn around the edges of the texture background.

Step 27

Select the ‘bat’ layer and press Ctrl+L for the Levels Dialog box. Increase the light for the bat logo with the parameters below:

The result:

Step 28

Create a new layer and select a black Spatter brush. Paint sparingly one part of the bat logo.

Step 29

Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to about 35 px. And we’re done.

There is these tutorial for all Photoshop designers how love to make a new and unique ideas in there designs  the following tutorial is a perfect example of one of those techniques. In this issue, we’re going to take a portrait and replace the person’s image with text (think 2009 Grammy posters).

1 CHOOSE YOUR PHOTO

Pick a portrait that offers good contrast—a photo that’s very dramatic and dark probably won’t work as well. I’ve had the best success with straight-on head and shoulder shots, but again, feel free to experiment with all types of photos. For the best results, choose a photo that has a light background (or select the background around the person and make it lighter).

©ISTOCKPHOTO/JOAN VINCENT

2 CREATE VARIOUS TEXT BRUSHES

Create a new document (File>New) in a size that’s smaller than your photo: the specifics don’t really matter. Press D to set the Foreground color to black. Use the Type tool (T) to type several different words in various fonts and sizes (in this case we used a person’s name). One at a time, draw a selection around each word with the Rectangular Marquee tool (M), and from the Edit menu, choose Define Brush Preset. Name each brush in the Brush Name dialog and click OK.

3 SELECT THE SHADOWS AND MAKE A LAYER

Switch back to the photograph. From the Select menu, choose Color Range. From the Select drop-down menu in the Color Range dialog, choose Shadows and click OK. (In our example, nothing in the background was selected. If parts of the background are selected in your photo, see the next step for removing those selected areas.)

Then, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected pixels onto a new layer. Press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected pixels onto a new layer. Click back on the Background layer in the Layers panel.

4 SELECT THE MIDTONES AND MAKE A LAYER

Go back to the Select menu and choose Color Range again. From the Select drop-down menu in the Color Range dialog, choose Midtones and click OK. If (as in this example) some of the background is selected, use the Lasso tool (L) with the Option key (PC: Alt key) held down to circle the areas you don’t want selected. Then, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected pixels onto a new layer.

5 FILL THE LAYERS WITH BLACK AND GRAY

Click the Eye icon next to the Background layer in the Layers panel to hide that layer from view. Click on the midtones layer and from the Edit menu choose Fill. Use 50% Gray, check the Preserve Transparency box, and click OK. Then, activate the shadow layer and use the Fill command again, except this time use Black with Preserve Transparency checked. You should have a very basic portrait made from black and 50% gray.

6 FINE-TUNE THE RESULTS AND MERGE DOWN
If necessary, show the original Background (click where the Eye icon used to be) and use the Brush tool (B) to paint with black on the shadow layer, gray on the midtones layer, or use the Eraser tool (E) to completely remove areas. (Note: For gray, click on the Foreground color swatch, enter R:128, G:128, and B:128 in the Color Picker, and click OK.) In this example, we added a little more definition to the ears by painting with gray on the midtones layer. Once you’re satisfied, click on the top layer (the shadow layer) and press Command-E (PC: Ctrl-E) to merge it with the midtones layer.

7 ADJUST BRUSH SETTINGS AND PAINT SOME TEXT

Click the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. Press D to set your default colors. Press Command-Delete (PC: Ctrl-Backspace) to fill the new layer with white. Choose one of your custom brushes from the Brush Picker in the Options Bar, and in the Brushes panel (Window>Brushes), click on the words “Brush Tip Shape.” Adjust the Spacing so there’s space between each word. Under Shape Dynamics, vary the size and rotation of the brush. As you paint on the white layer, experiment with the Shape Dynamics. Repeat with your other custom brushes. For now, just get some “text paint” on the layer—we’ll continue painting in a moment.

8 COPY THE PORTRAIT
Create a new layer and drag it above the black-and-gray portrait layer. Press Command-Delete (PC: Ctrl-Backspace) to fill it with white. This will provide a white background behind our image. Hide all the layers except the black-and-gray portrait layer, and then click on that layer to make it active. Press Command-A (PC: Ctrl-A) to Select All and then Command-C (PC: Ctrl-C) to Copy.

9 PASTE INTO A LAYER MASK
Show all layers and activate the layer with the painted words. Click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel to add a layer mask. Hold down Option (PC: Alt) and click on the layer mask thumbnail (this will hide the painted text and show just the mask). Press Command-V (PC: Ctrl-V) to paste the copied pixels onto the mask. Press Command-D (PC: Ctrl-D) to Deselect. Press Command-I (PC: Ctrl-I) to Invert the mask (your mask should look like a negative of the black-and-gray pixel image that you pasted).

10 CONTINUE PAINTING, VARYING BRUSHES
Activate the painted text layer (not the mask) by clicking on the layer thumbnail, and continue painting using the different custom brushes you created. You can also continue to experiment with the brush settings for Size, Spacing, and Shape Dynamics. (Although you don’t need a pressure sensitive pen for this technique, it sure helps!)

11 ADD A LAYER WITH RANDOM TEXT
The painted text will only appear inside the white and gray areas of the mask. To add a bit more randomness to the portrait, add a new layer above the painted text layer. Then use the same text brushes to add a few words here and there outside the boundaries of the mask.

12 PAINT ON THE MASK IF NECESSARY
If there are areas where you’d like text to appear in the portrait—or there’s text showing where you don’t want it to show—click on the layer mask and paint with a round, soft-edged brush: use black to hide the text, white to show the text, and shades of gray to make the text somewhat visible.

13 VARIATION: ADD A GRAIDENT OVERLAY
Here’s a simple variation: Add a Gradient Overlay layer style to the painted words layer. Just click on the Add a Layer Style icon (fx) at the bottom of the Layers panel and select Gradient Overlay. In this case we clicked on the Gradient thumbnail, and selected the Blue, Red, Yellow gradient in the Gradient Editor. Click OK to close the Gradient Editor, then select Screen for the Blend Mode and click OK. Hold down Option (PC: Alt) and drag the word “Effects” in the Layers panel on top of the “extra words” layer to copy the same layer style to that layer.

14 VARIATION: USE TEXT BLOCKS WITH THE MASK
Use the Type tool to click-and-drag a text box around the entire image. Get a large amount of random text (we used www.blindtextgenerator.com) and paste the text into the text block. Hold down Option (PC: Alt) and drag the layer mask from the painted text layer onto this new type layer to copy the mask. Then, either hide the painted text layer, or use both the painted layer and the new type layer—the possibilities are endless!
