Full icon tutorial for Adobe 7, cs cs2

OOOOOOOK, i'm back with another tutorial!!!!
going from this Image Hosted by ImageShack.us to this Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

ok, so we'll use this capture form star wars Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us, and make it into our base
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
then we add an exlusion layer and pull down the opacity to 30, fill it with color #003663
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
then add two gradients that are horribly different from each other
both set to soft light
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
then, as usually i added this texture Image Hosted by ImageShack.us and set it to screen (can you tell i love this texture) i have no idea whose it is tho....i wish i knew then i could grab sum more from her/him
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
theeeen copy the base and set it on top and set to overlay
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
then added sum text(CONSEQUENCES of love) in Arial and Carpenter
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
then cuz i'm a border addict i added this border brush Image Hosted by ImageShack.us by moraya

and voila...my icon
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

now..please this is just a simple request...don't COPY my icon and just change the text.....make your own...diversity is good...

ok...bgty :)
