I created a background using noise, emboss then motion blur.
step 3 of 9
I made a selection of my type and used an emboss style on the background layer.
step 4 of 9
I duped my background to a new layer, used the filter twirl, set the blending mode to overlay added a bit of shadow, then added a colour layer also set to overlay.
step 5 of 9
Next I gave my type layer an inner and outer glow.
step 6 of 9
I added some fx, I duped my glowing type layer and used the twirl filter and also ripple filter which I reduced in opacity. I made a new layer and combined all elements (command+alt+shift+e) removed all colour blurred and used spherise. Then changed the blending modes to overlay.
step 7 of 9
I didn't want for anyone to see my username in the new entry previews that appear on the right so I swapped a few letters around and uploaded.
step 8 of 9
Once my entry had gone from the new entry preview column, I reverted back to my username. I kept my alternative text which I blurred and reduced the opacity. I set this layers blending mode to overlay.
step 9 of 9
On a new layer, I added some coloured spots and a few white dots then set this layer to.... yes you guessed it Multiply. Only kidding, my favourite blending mode Overlay and thats about it.
