Cool Background Texture

[Klas2B 0]

1) make a "gradient bath" just randomly place 5 to 10 thick gradients over your document.

 

 

 

 

2) Right after that, go into Craquelure(Filter>Texture>Craquelure) and use these settings(it'll be the same all through the tutorial)

Spacing: 15

Depth: 6

Brightness: 7

 

 

 

3) After using Craquelure, use Extrude(Filters>Stylize>Extrude)

Settings:

Squares

Size: 30

Depth: 30

 

 

 

4) Then Emboss(Filters>Stylize>Emboss)

Settings:

Angle: 135

Height: 45

Amount: 100%

 

 

 

5)Then Craquelure again(same settings)

 

 

6) Make a new layer and fill it with the color of your choice, then set it's blending mode to Color

 

7) Adding a darkness:

 

-Make a new layer and fill it black,

 

-use Grain(Filters>Texture>Grain)

Settings:

Intensity: 100

Contrast: 100

Vertical Lines

 

 

-then Spatter,

Settings:

Radius: 25

Smoothness: 5

 

-and set the Blending mode to Overlay, merge all layer(Ctrl/Cmd+shift+E). If it looks rough, blur it(Filters>Blur>Blur)

I don't think I'd ever use something that stick-outy as a background texture, but maybe as a graphic or for a header. It reminds me of a mountain face.

Yeah, I like it, and agree with biscuitrat... it's a lil stick-outy, whatever that means... How did you come up with it though? Just placing gradients and playing with them? (That's Usually how people make stuff, by accident)Pandaz
