This tut was written on November 15, 2010. It is written using PSPX; I'm sure the same effects are available in other versions.
SUPPLIES A tube. I'm using the work of Celine. This tube was part of the 2010 MPT Christmas Gift. You need to purchase a license to use this work, and can find other tubes by this artist, at MPT.
The following filters: MuRa's Meister - Copies DSB Flux - Bright Noise (optional)
Font of choice (I'm using "Uplink")
Let's begin!
Open a new image, 600x250
Fill with a color from your tube.
Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds using the following setting:
Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance.
If you are animating: Duplicate this layer 2x (for a total of three.) Apply DSB Flux - Bright Noise set at 25 to each layer, click the radial button before Mix each time.
Add your tube as a new layer.
MuRa's Meister - Copies using the Wallpaper(rotate) preset.
Adjust - Blur - Motion Blur set at Angle = 315, Strength = 100. Repeat. Effects - Edge Effects - Enhance. Repeat.
Selection Tool - Custom Selection using the following setting:
Selections - Invert. DELETE Duplicate this layer, then Image - Flip. Layers - Merge - Merge Down. Duplicate this layer, then Image - Mirror. Layers - Merge - Merge Down.
Set this image aside for a moment.
Open a new image, 400x400. Fill with your color.
Add this new image to your previous image as a new layer.
Image - Free Rotate - Right, 45 degrees.
Effects - Image Effects - Offset using the following setting:
Crop to size (600x250.)
Selections - Select All. Selections - Float. Selections - Defloat. Selections - Invert.
Highlight the blurred layer. DELETE. Selections - Select None.
Delete the solid layer.
Duplicate the blurred layer. Image - Mirror.
On the mirrored layer, Selections - Select All. Selections - Float. Selections - Defloat. Add your tube, moving into position. Selections - Invert. DELETE.
Duplicate the tube layer. Image Mirror. Change the layer setting of this layer to SOFT LIGHT.
Merge the two BLURRED layers together. (Highlight the top blurred layer, then Layers - Merge - Merge Down.)
Selections - Select All. Selections - Float. Selections - Defloat. Selections - Modify - Select Selections Border using the following setting:
Add a new layer to the top, and fill the selection with your border color. Selections - Select None.
Add a blurry drop shadow to your merged blurred layer (I used 0, 0, 100, 25, black.)
Add a 2px selection border using the same color.
Add your name and all necessary copyright information.
Animate as usual.
For the avatar:
Duplicate your tag (Shift + D.)
Delete the layer with your tube.
Crop to 150x150.
Add your 2 pixel selections border.
Add your name (or initial.)
You may, if you wish, choose to animate your avatar.
Here is another example, non-animated, using the work of Olivia:
