TUTORIAL: Photoshop Banner

Hi guys this tutorial is only Italian version for now, But there are a lot of images, then you can make it see how. So good work!

In this post we will see how to create a simple tutorial with Photoshop CS 2. To begin

go to File -> New see the following screen (Fig 1) :

Set the following parameters in finsetra:

Width: 936 Height

: 100

Resolution: 72

Color Mode: RGB Color

will create a stripe set with the size and characteristics of the window. (Fig 2)

Now let's insert a new layer on the toolbar and make Layer -> New layer can also decide to give it a name of your choice. The newly created layer could we see the following location. (Fig 3)

Now we begin to create a background color. The vertical bar on your left go to select the icon of the basket instead of paint (Paint Bucket Tool), the option by clicking on the Gradient Tool freccettina black. As shown in Figure (Fig 4)

Let the horizontal bar of the color of the gradient (Fig 5)

clicchiamoci and above and you'll see a screen similar to this: (Fig 6)

and double-clicking on the button (circled in red), will see the screen for defining the color (Fig 7)

Where can we decide how to enter the color tone in different ways. Before you put the color in the layer, we say that the gradient appears first, the first color set in the editor screen gradient (Fig. 6) and the last color, just the last set.

Now we set the color to our layer. After you have selected the Gradient tool we have the cursor cross and posizioniamoci from the bottom layer and holding the left mouse button and draw a vertical line up (this if we are to have the darker color down otherwise do the opposite movement).

The result is: (Fig 8)

Now we insert the text, but before a new layer so as not to ruin the background done with the first level. We click on the text box

Now we can insert the text size by holding down the left mouse button and enter the text you want to put our banner (Fig 9)

clicking

Move tool button we can move our text based on where we want to place it.

Now let's create a very simple, that is a reflection of the text, on a polished floor.

The idea is to have a copy of it over and reduce its opacity.

start by duplicating the text layer. Posizioniamoci on layer of text in the box at the bottom right and the right mouse button select duplicate layer (Fig 10)

After the copy we now have to place it in the bottom of the text (Fig 11)

Now taking the tasks of the selected layer premiami Ctrl + T to make the text editable. (Fig 12)

With right click on the text select Flip Vertical. (Fig 13)

The result should be the following (Fig 14)

Now we create the effect of reflection, always keeping a copy of the selected layer right click on layer and select Blending Option (Fig 15) where the following screen (Figure 16)

Where was circled with red set to 20% then at your discretion and pleasure.

The result is as follows (Fig 17)

Now create a line to the horizon, as if his head resting on something.

Insert a new layer and create a rectangle with the option RectangularMarquee Tool

We insert it by holding down the left mouse button over the banner in the latest case, the better position and give the white color with the Paint Bucket Tool (Fig. 18)

Now let's change it and place, click on the lens and magnify the image, select the layer and make it editable (Ctrl + T). Now we can shrink it at will (Fig 19)

And there you have a small simple banner, try to do other tests and especially to play with Photoshop.
