第四课 在photoshop怎样在红色背景中添加设计元素 This tutorial is about making a textured red background and using Photoshops Shape Tool to add a design element. You can download the sample PSD file from the link at the bottom of the tutorial. Step 1: We begin with a blank canvas and then add a plain red background of color - #780000 Step 2: Add a NEW LAYER Using the Custom Shape Tool (U), choose a shape to use as our design element. I chose this nuclear symbol because it looks kind of neat. If you dont have lots of things to choose from, you can load in a few more libraries by clicking on that little arrow icon in the top right and then choosing Load Shapes. Step 3: Add a NEW LAYER So now I have my shape. Note that when drawing the shape, you want to make sure that you are actually drawing a shape and not just making a path or making a shape with path. You can change this setting in the top tool bar when you have the shape tool selected. Youll see three icons: one for paths, one for paths with fill, and one just for filling pixels (thats the one you want). Also Ive used white, but it doesnt really matter as we are going to go over it in a second with something else. Step 4: Now flat color backgrounds look a bit crappy, so well add a Radial Gradient. To do this, first make sure your foreground color and background color are set. I chose: #830506 - Foreground Color #370000 - Background Color Now select the Gradient Tool and then click on Radial Gradient in the top left of the toolbar and draw a radial gradient starting from the center out. With radial gradients (and gradients in general), its always a good idea to keep the color differential subtle. Step 5: To start to get some texture, duplicate your gradient layer and go to Filters Render Fibers and use the default settings. Make sure you have your red colors still selected, as it makes a difference with the output. Set the Opacity to 30% Step 6: Now Duplicate the layer with the Fibers and hit Ctrl-T fo
