Hello

This is the Tutorial number 38 from the 100 Marathon Tutorial
As i have told you i will try to add a tutorial each day.

Today i will show you how to create a nice digital effect which you can use for headers or banners.

Open a new document 600x400 pixels.
Create a new layer ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N )

Set the foreground color to #364ecc
Set the background color to #12195a

Select Gradient Tool and draw a vertical line from top to bottom.



Now we will create a new document because we will need a pattern.
Create a new document. Use this settings:



Zoom this document to 1600 %
With the pencil tool ( 1 Pixel brush ) create something like me:



The colors are #515151 for the square and #959595 for the middle point.

After you have create the same drawing as mine go to Edit > Define Pattern... Choose a name for this pattern and press Ok

Now let's come back to our initial document.

Create a new Layer ( press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+N )

Select the Paint Bucket Tool.
After that select the pattern we have created a few steps ago



And press one time on your document.

This is the result:



Now press one Add Layer Mask



Select Gradient tool and draw a vertical line from top to bottom.
The next step is to change the Blending mode for this layer to Overlay



This is my result:



Now with your Line Tool draw some horizontal lines ( Be sure you have the Line Weight set to 1 px )

Then start drawing some lines like in the following image ( it will be god if you create first one horizontal line and after that you can duplicate a few times and place it like me )



Now in Layers Palette select all the lines you have created and press CTRL+E ( this will merge all layers in only one layer )

Now Go to Edit > Transform > Warp

And use the following settings:



Be sure you hit enter after you choose Flag option.



Now press one more time on Add Layer Mask



Select Gradient tool one more time and draw a vertical line from bottom to top



Now add some text and you are ready.



This technique is very good for banners , signatures or headers...
