Dan Radcliffe Tutorial

First tut yay!
It's to go from  (calm down ladies :P ) to

Made in PSP 7, but I'm pretty sure it's translatable :)

Right, open image, crop resize to 100x100. Simple :)

Duplicate the base and set to overlay. Adjust the opacity to 90.

Add a new layer, and fill with #3366FF. Set the layer to multiply and opacity to 50.

New layer again, fill with #5AAC54, set the layer to darken. Adjust opacity to 80

Add a Brightness/Contrast layer and set brightness to 38, and the contrast to 25.

Add brushes, text, whatever, and Hey Presto! A little funky icon! :P
If you want to know, I added a brush for the small text, (yoo can just type rubbish in small font size, too) and on a new layer entered 'Dan' in Handscript SF at 16pt, and set the layer to Soft Light.

Ta-Dah :)
