Listens: She's A Rebel - Green Day

Another quickie

Make this Image hosted by Photobucket.com in Photoshop Elementts. Can be translated to other Photoshops and PSP programs.



I started with this screencap from Mugglenet.

Crop and resize.

Create a new layer.

Select the color white, then the gradient tool.

Make sure it's on Foreground to Transparent.

Then play with the gradient until you are satified. I started at the top left corner and brought it down on a -45 degree angel for about a quarter of the way down.

Then I cropped this texture from TREX-TURE to fit the icon.

Put the Layer Style on Darken

Then add your text and put the Layer Style on Overlay.

Then you are done.
