I tried to create something similar to the banner but for the life of me I couldnt get it. :\ ... Tell me what you think
WARNING: Extremely image intensive. Not dial-up friendly
1)I started out with this image>cropped it to 700x350
2)Duplicate the base>adjust Contrast/Brightness > Set Contrast: 25 Brightness: 10
3)Create new layer>fill with #bea978>set to darken at 75%
4)Copy merge>paste new layer on top>desaturate (Shift L)
5)Adjust>Automatic Contrast enhancement>Bias: Darker Strength:Normal Appearence:bold
6)Adjust>Brightness/Contrast>Clarify:5
7)Set that layer to Exclusion:20%
8)Duplicate>change blend mode to soft light at 100%
9)Paste on grunge texture>set to multiply at 50%(after coloring with #bea978)
Texture
10)Paste on grunge texture>set to multiply at 75%(after coloring with #bea978)
Texture
11)Select your eraser tool>set to a low opacity and lightly clear up the area where river and simon are
12)Copy merge>paste on the new layer on top>set to burn at 35%
13)use this gradient>screen>40% (sorry I dont know who its by)
14)Create new layer>fill with #bea978 (color from above> set to color legacy 20%
15)Create new layer>fill dark grey (sorry no color number)> set to burn 25%
16)Use these ink splatters (again, sorry Im horrible with keeping track who made what)>color them with the same tan as above>Set to Dodge at 25%
17)Paste ink splatters on again this time with a darker red coloring>set to softlight at 50%>Use eraser brush on low opacity to get rid of square edges
18)Paste this texture on>set to Overlay at 100%
19)Now we are basically done. I added a few more ink splatters here and there on top of the bright splatters to tone it down a bit. For text I used Copperplate Gothic Behind the text I used the rectangle tool and set it to softlight at about 60%. Dropped shadow once.
And thats basically it! Fiddle around with it all you want. Can be applied to icons as well. Here is an example:
Hope this was.. somewhat clear. Feel free to ask questions.
