Name: Lady Pearl
Specialty: Fonts, effects that could be improved, I can make some decent layouts for websites. XD Teacher or Student: Student Length of Term: A month. I need to learn, learn, learn! =3 I lost Photoshop, though, and a couple of my favorite stylish fonts. ._. |
hmm... i can make layouts, i just can't find any way to find the html on them. ^^,
|
Ok I think I am ready for the basics XD.
Pokemon_Veteran |
mmmmmmmmmkay. lesson 1 time! (for PV only) now first off, do you have photoshop? is it on right now?
|
Well it wasn't but it is now XD.
Pokemon_Veteran |
okay... so what do you want to learn how to do first? (as in, banners, avatars, etc.)
|
Banners please. XD. I have always wanted to learn banners for a while now
Pokemon_Veteran |
okay... let's make ourselves a *basic* banner. now, go to File>New, and make a 400 widthx100 height document. if you want effects, pick a color for your foreground and a color for your background. now that you've done this, go to Filter>Render>Clouds. now, this is REALLY easy stuff. then, go to Filter>Pixelate>Mezzotint, and make the mezzotint Short Lines. then, go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. set the angle to 45 or -45, and the distance 30. when you're done, it should look like a bunch of different colored diagonal lines. this is an easy step. when you're ready, i can show you how to find good brushes and brush with them to make grunges. ^^,

Name: kat
Specialty: ps Teacher or Student: teacher and student :P |
welcome, katty! i hope you have a great time, you learn a lot and teach a lot!
|
Name: Max
Specialty: ummm, nope Teacher or Student: sudent Length of Term: as long as it is needed I will give it a shot |
okay Max, welcome. Stevo, how you doing on that tut?
|
Ok teacher I am done XD.
Pokemon_Veteran |
okay... so there's a background for your banner! time to add a pic! now, take any pic you want... as long as you can erase all the white in it. then take out your magic eraser. (hold on the eraser button until the background eraser and magic eraser options show up) and then, click on the white. it disappears. there's still some white on the pic, so take out your normal eraser and erase.
|
Ok I have done that XD.
Pokemon_Veteran |
How about you get a mod to change this to the Photoshop Academy and you will run it and I will start the PSP Acedemy? That way we dont get lessons mixed up in different programs.
|
hmm... maybe, if you want, i'll see.
EDIT: oh, and as for Stevo, let's see... i'm sure you know how to do text XD now, wanna learn how to do grunges? |
Ok I am ready for the next step XD ^^;
EDIT: Do I do the grunge before I put the pic on the sig? Pokemon_Veteran |
hmm... well, text is pretty easy. :\ do you wanna do grunges or celestials now?
EDIT: ****it Stevo, stop editting! XD okay, the grunge goes on BEFORE you put the pic on... so that the pic doesn't get brushed. OR, you can click on the layer that the bg's on, so that the pic isn't effected. |
Yeah sure ^^. But you might need to remind me about the text *forgets things easily half the time*
Pokemon_Veteran |
Stevo, i think i'll continue teaching you tomorrow... i'm kinda tired now, for some reason. btw, i'm thinking of adding a tuition fee... in rep. what do you guys think?
|
Well it depends on the rate lol.
Pokemon_Veteran |
well i mean... you give me rep once a week per person... cause this is actually hard work, believe it or not.
|
Well that shouldn't be that hard.
But it would be helpful if you post the next step tonight ^^;. But if you can't I will wait ^^. Pokemon_Veteran |
i can post it tonight... so wait, did you do the text and stuff yet? well, if so, the basic banner is done. grungey time! now, create a new document, 400x110. set your colors to default, black for foreground, white for background. go to Filter>Render>Clouds. the next step is EASY. go to http://veredgf.fredfarm.com/vbrush/thearchives2.html and download any of their brushes. i suggest 3 of the Random Mess ones. to load them into PS, click the download button, open up PS, and where you see the Brushes thing, click it, and click the black arrow. scroll down until you see a Load Brushes button. then, load them. now, just brush everywhere until you think it looks like a grunge like mine. XD when you're done with that, go to your usual hosting site, and host the pic. (make sure the filetype is png, bmp, gif, or jpg. i wouldn't do a jpg tho, cause they make the pic blurry)
|
But you forgot to say how I put the pic onto the sig XD. Sorry if I am irritating you ^^;
Pokemon_Veteran |
for the grunges, you don't really need a pic. a lot of mine don't. :\
|
Well if you want a pic on it how do you put it on.
Pokemon_Veteran |
Name: Scolari
Specialty: brushing Teacher or Student: Student I would like to learn rendering anyone willing? |
if you want renders, katty and i are your men/women. XD as for Stevo, putting a pic on is easy. you download the pic to your desktop, and move the pic into PS. then, take out your rectangular marquee tool and select the whole document. then select the move tool and move it into your document. there's easier ways, but i use a mac, so i don't know.
|
Hey AC I could be a teacher if you needed another one.
|
sure WolfWood! you're really good at renders and stuff, so i'm sure you'll do well!
|
Well I finished off that sig thing and I have new brushes so when you are ready you can teach me how to do Avatars if ya want ^^;
Pokemon_Veteran |
avatars? okay, avatars are pretty much the same thing, only it's a different size. i suggest 100x100 or 110x110. just do what you did on the banner, and for the pic, try to focus on the face.
|
Ok so I can help out on pretty much anything my speciality is renders and brushing.
|
Name: Evan
Specialty: Photoshop Text Styles Teacher :p |
wondering pv you know with your sig how do you do peferct lines in your border i mean the diagonal ones
|
Every line is straight, diagonal or not XD.
Pokemon_Veteran |
huh there are diagonals eg part of the border in the top right hand corner
|
i know what he means, Stevo. you know the polygonal lasso tool? well that's what you have to use. make a selection, create a new layer, and on the new layer, make the layer style bevel and emboss.
|
Yeah, I think I did something like that *can't remember.*
Pokemon_Veteran |
Name:Aaron
Specialty: Bitmat, Chao, Pokemon, recolors, banners, animation (I could go on) Teacher or Student:Teacher Length of Term:As long as you need me ^^ |
Erm, AC if it sn't too much trouble can you teach me how to do better backrounds in my banners and improve them? Here's the form:
Name: Moonlight Dreams Specialty: Text, glowing text, spriting Teacher or Student: Student Length of Term:As long as it honestly can take. And like you said I might need work on my cropping. But I guess I also need help finding good fonts to use as well. ^^ |
hmm... well, first off, i'd have to say that the 'Fluffy banner' that you made has terrible choice in fonts. so i guess i can teach you about bg's, and picking better fonts. XD
|
The reason is, my Win Zip is totally not cooperating with me, so I can't load any fonts onto my computer and Photoshop 7.0. But if I could re-register the evaluated version, I could get fonts. But the weird thing is, I bought my Win Zip, not used the evaluation version, so I have no idea why it says my evaluation version has expired. And as for the backrounds, I never could really learn how to make good brushes or use them. I just used what I had.
|
hmm... well, if you can't make good brushes, try downloading them. i make about half of the brushes i use, and download half too.
|
Yeah but that's the thing, I can't download any brushes that would result in being a Win Zip file on my computer. And I can never find any fonts that aren't in Win Zip file. So it's kinda hard when your Win Zip is failing.
|
Why this is a great idea...where do I begin?
Name: Lashyina Specialty: uhhh...nothing? Teacher or Student: Student. Length of Term: Forever..I think.. |
Name:PokemonChampion2K4
Specialty:don't know Teacher or Student:student Length of Term:month |
Ok AC, what is my next lesson ^^.
Pokemon_Veteran |
Stevo, i'll get right to that... i dunno tho, it depends on what you wanna learn. ^^,
|
I think it was grunges or better backgrounds next ^^,
Pokemon_Veteran |
i have some good pre-made backgrounds if you are stuck on making one im here
|
lol, i make all my backgrounds by myself, unless i'm having trouble rendering. ^_^
|
i could be a teacher for the the gimp o.o if someone want that o.o anyway i want to learn how to make better backgorunds:P
|
can I have a lesson as soon as i can!:D
|
PC2K4, i'll give you a lesson as soon as you tell me what you wanna learn. ^^,
|
If it is ok with ya Shane, I would like to learn how to do better backgrounds ^^;
Pokemon_Veteran |
mmmmmmmmkay. what kinda bg are you looking for? like abstract, themed, etc.?
|
Doesn't bother me, just teach me any ^^. What is the bacground you put in my link sig called ^^;
Pokemon_Veteran |
there were a lot of link sigs... you mean the one with the little mosaics? well, that one's pretty easy. go to Filter>Render>Clouds, then go to Texture>Patchwork, and make every option 0.
|
No I mean the one in the Zelda(Link) sigs
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/PVsSprites/j4ystevohylian.png ^ something similiar to that, I dont wanna start trying something really hard lol Pokemon_Veteran |
