Before going on with the next step, you will have to download the file Apple.ai that has the shape and colors of “the Apple”.

Once you have downloaded it, open it in Adobe Illustrator.

Select the entire apple and press Ctrl + C to copy it.

Go back to the Photoshop document.

Press Ctrl + V and you will see a pop up that asks you to choose the type of paste. Choose “Pixels”.

Then select ((Polygonal Lasso Tool)) and trace the apple leave (as shown in the image below), right click the selection and choose ((Layer Via Cut)). You will cut, copy, and paste the selection into a new layer.

The apple and the leaf will be in separated layers.

Double click the apple layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Stroke)). The colors you will use for this gradient: #B4B4B4 and #FFFFFF.

Finally, you will have to fix the holes that appear in the letter “a”.

Create a ((New Layer)).

Select ((Polygonal Lasso Tool)) and create a selection as the one that appears below.

Choose white as the foreground color.

Open a new document, 800×600px, and white background.

Select ((Shape Tool)). Then select ((Polygon Tool)) and draw 4 black polygons as shown in the following image.

Now unify all the layers. ((Layer))-((Flatten Image)).

Then go to ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Radial Blur)). Take a look at the values that appear in the following image.

Select ((Filter))-((Sketch))-((Chrome)). Use the values that appear by default.

You just have to color the cubes using your favorite colors.

This was my result.

Open a new document, 512×512px, and black background.

With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), create a circular selection in the center of the document and fill it in with white.

Then go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).

Click OK.

Now create a ((new layer)). Ctrl + Click the head selection and activate it.

Go to the ((new layer)) and then go to ((Select))-((Modify))-((Contract)) (Radius: 8px).

Fill in the new selection with white. Take a look at the following image to see how it should look.

Reduce the ((Fill)) to 0%. Then ((Layer))((Layer Style))((Stroke)).

Does it look like this? Keep going!

Create a ((new layer)).

With ((Pen Tool)), draw the eye just like it’s shown in the following image and fill it in with white.

To create the right eye, duplicate the layer and transform it. ((Edit))((Transform))((Flip Horizontal)).

In the new layers, create the nose and the mouth. I recommend you to use ((Pen Tool))

Stand in the first eye layer you created and in ((Layer Style)), apply ((Gradient Overlay)).

Copy the ((Layer Styles)) In the other layers. Stand in the layer you applied ((Gradient Overlay)) to, right click, and choose((Copy Layer Style)). Go to the layer you want to apply the same effect to, and choose ((Paste Layer Style)).

Don’t worry, but it should look like this hahaha.

You just need to create a reflection.

Create a ((new layer)).

Create a circular selection in the superior part of the head and fill it in with white.

Finally, double click the layer and, in the ((Blending Options)), choose ((Gradient Overlay)) (white to transparent).

Happy Halloween!

Open the image.

Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).

In the duplicated layer, select ((Single Marquee Tool)) (pointed with a red arrow) with Feather: 0px somewhere in the document. As you will see in the image below, I placed the selection where there are more colors. For those who understand it better, we are selecting a Pixel from the image, vertically.

Press Ctrl + C ((copy)) and Ctrl + V to ((paste)) the selection in a different layer.

Then Ctrl + T to activate ((Free Transform)). Enlarge it towards both right and left sides. In the image below I stretched only the left side.

Now do it from the right so that the document is completed.

Click the eye next to the layer to merge it invisible. We will not work on it.

Repeat the previous steps with ((Single Row Marquee Tool)).

I will explain you anyway. Stand in the duplicated layer and, with ((Single Row Marquee Tool)), place the selection where you see more colors. Press Ctrl + C ((copy)) and Ctrl + V to ((paste)) the selection in another layer.

Then Ctrl + T ((Free Transform)), stretch the selection upwards and downwards until you complete the entire document with the transformation, as shown in the following image.

Merge the layer you previously applied ((Single Marquee Tool)) visible (click the eye). Reduce the ((opacity)) to 50%. The most important part of the tutorial is done, you will have a “Scottish” texture with the most relevant colors of the original image.

Select the duplicated layer and place it in front of the others. Press Ctrl + T (((Free Transform))) and reduce the image pressing and holding Alt + Shift. (Proportionally from the center).

Double click the image layer to open the ((Blending Options)) window.

Select and modify ((Drop Shadow)) to give a shade to the image. Apply the values that appear in the following image.

Open a new document, 640×480px, and white background.

Go to ((Filter))-((Sketch))-((Halftone Pattern)). The values are located in the image below.

Then go to ((Filter))-((Sketch))-((Photocopy)). The values are in the following image.

Now ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Radial Blur)), with the following values.

You just need to color the background. ((Image))-((Adjustments))-((Hue/Saturation)). Activate ((Colorize)) and follow the steps that appear in the following image.

This is our result.

To begin, open a new document, 400×400px, and transparent background.

Let’s create the sky. Select the ((gradient tool)) and, from the color palette, choose 6dbede and 2f82co. You just need to trace the gradient from top to bottom with those colors until you get something like this.

Create a ((new layer)) and select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) using the options that appear in the following image.

Now you need to create several circles with different sizes, keeping the ((Shift)) key pressed so that you unify them all.

Verify you have created the ((new layer)). Fill in the selection with white.

Then, apply some layer styles. ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).

You can modify the layer styles values depending on the cloud size.

((Edit))-((Transform))-((Rotate 180º)). Duplicate the layer pressing Ctrl + J and then Ctrl + I to invert the colors. Change the blending mode to ((Difference)).

Press Ctrl + E to unify the layers. Then ((Filter))-((Distort))-((Polar Coordinates)) (Rectangular To Polar).

Apply the effect 13 times by pressing Ctrl + F and apply ((Filter))-((Blur))-((GausseanBlur)) (Radio: 10,0px). Finally, change the layer style to ((Lighten)).

Open the image of a default Vista wallpaper. If you don’t have one, you can download it from Google.

Go back to the TV document and go to ((Edit))-((Paste Into)).

Move the image and you will see that it doesn’t go outside of the area you marked with ((Herramienta Lazo Poligonal)).

Double click the TV layer to go to ((Blending Options)). Modify ((Inner Shadow)).

Our new TV LCD is ready to be sold!

Create a new document, 800×450px, and black background.

Create a ((new layer)).

Apply a linear gradient from side to side using 3 or 4 colors, and reduce the ((opacity)) to 25%.

Create another ((new layer)).

With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), create a white circle with the size that appears below. Duplicate the layers until you create a row consisting in 8 circles, divided in 4.

Select all the lights you just created and rasterize them until you have only one layer.

Now apply some detains to the left and right areas of the lights. Duplicate the light layers 2 times, place the first one to the lefts and the other one to the right as shown in the image below. These 2 layers, place them below the first one. Select ((Erase Tool)) and erase the central area of the 2 duplicated layers, just leave the leftovers. Then reduce the ((opacity)) to 10%.

Duplicate the first layer (the one you can 100% see) and place it below. With ((Erase Tool)), hardness: 0%, erase to generate a reflection effect.

Duplicate the visible layer, reduce it with ((Free Transform)) or Ctrl + T and go to ((Edit))-((Transform))((Skew)). Look for the perspective you see below.

Duplicate the first layer, reduce it just like the other one, and apply ((Skew)) again. Take a look at the following image.

Duplicate the 2 layers you applied ((Skew)) to, and go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Flip Horizontal)).

Duplicate the lower right light and, with Ctrl + T, rotate it so that it looks like a reflection.

Duplicate the layer and go to ((Edit))((Transform))((Flip Vertical)).

Let’s make the reflections look more real. With ((Erase Tool)), hardness: 0%, and erase the ower parts of the reflections.

Stand in the first layer, the lights that are in front of us, and go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Outer Glow)).

Result:

Very good!!! You are done with this great tutorial. Now you can add a graphic, or an image in the center pf the spotlights.
