Retro Paper! Create a retro style wallpaper effect!



This tutorial will show you a simple method to create an effecive wallpaper that you can use for your desktop
or for any sort of web background.

Let's
start to create an attractive desktop. We’ll create a new file using
dimensions1024x768 (depending on the resolution you have on the screen)
and 72 dpi. Next step includes choosing the instrument (Gradient tool Image).
Here
we choose the gradient shown with a red pointer. We expose the colors
by pressing the squares indicating colors. Next to them are shown the
colors codes, which are demonstrated on the picture with the red color
also.

Next to them are shown the colors codes, which are demonstrated on the picture with the red color also.

Image

Then choosing the (Gradient Tool Image) we begin to draw the paint starting with the lower left corner to the upper right corner.

Image

Then we take the instrument (Elipse tool Image)
keeping the mouse pressed, choose the square figure. Then we draw a
rectangle in a way that it must be upper than the background, like in
the picture. After that we set out 15%, shown with the red color.

Image

Now we start to create this kind of circles, choosing again the (Elipse tool instrument Image). We draw the circle by holding on Shift button and set out 0% in the red function.

Then
we drop in Blending Options function.It is possible by pressing the
right mouse’s button on the level you want to use this function. Expose
everything the way it is done in the picture.

Image

Then
we’ll copy the created circle, almost the same like in the previous
picture. Now we create figures like this, using the (Pen tool Image) and color code 9bflc0. It is possible to create the circles choosing again the (Ellipse tool Image)

Image

Also you may add black figures with 06913e color code on the levels created earlier.

Image

Now we create a new level covering the previous one. Using the (Brush tool Image) with black color and an opacity of 10% we paint the corners, like in the picture.

Image

Now
we’ll take the picture with the girl. Press the button combination
(Shift Ctrl U) and the picture will become of black and white color
(pict.1). Then we’ll delete the background (pict.2) using the button
combination Ctrl U.

Image

We represent everything like in the picture. As a result we’ll have a green girl (pict.3).

Image

We’ll
expose the girl all over the levels. Now we have to add only the
reflection on the floor. Copy the level with the girl and this copy
we’ll position in a vertical line using the function “free transform”
from the right button of the mouse.

Image

Set out Fill on 43% like in the picture.

Image

The final result.
