			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We will create the theme of the movie &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221;, movie that I really liked. In this tutorial we will draw the shape of James Bond and try to give it a vectorial touch. Then, by means of ((Gradient Tool)) and 2 images which you will be able to download.

<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge the layer you just filled in invisible. In order to do so, click the eye that appears next to the layer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now with ((Pen Tool)), draw the trace of the white shirt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge the shirt layer invisible.</p>
<p>Now trace the left side of the untied bun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge this layer invisible.</p>
<p>Now trace the contour of the right side of the untied bun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and fill it in with black.</p>

<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it between the image and the actor&#8217;s contour. Take a look at the image below.</p>
<p>Stand in the layer, select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Linear Gradient)), and trace a vertical gradient as the one you see below, using: #931314 and #000000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the many textures I designed for you. In this occasion I will show you how to create a thread plate metal. It will be very important the use of ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), ((Layer Styles)) such as: ((Gradient Overlay)), ((Pattern Overlay)), and filters like: ((Add Noise)) and ((Motion Blur)). This texture can also be used as web source, when it comes to creating a header, buttons, and more.</p>
<p><span id="more-1992"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 256&#215;256px, and transparent background.</p>
<p>You will need to add grids. They are very useful, and can even be addictive, since they are of great help.</p>
<p>To place them, you will need to activate the rules (Ctrl + R).</p>
<p>Click and hold the mouse above the rule and drag it towards the center of the document. The grids will appear automatically.</p>
<p>In the following image you will see the values of the grids, vertical and horizontal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and Alt pressed,  draw a selection as the one you see below.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes and see the results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Right click the name of the layer and choose ((Convert To Smart Object)) from the drop down menu.</p>
<p>Right click and select ((Rasterize Layer)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>To the duplicated layer apply ((Edit))-((Transform))-((90º CCW)).</p>
<p>At the moment you will have 2 thread plates, one vertical and the other horizontal.<br />
Duplicate these layers to get this result.</p>
<p>It is important that each thread plate  fits with the center, where the grids cross..</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Temporary, add a new background layer and fill it in with grey.</p>
<p>Select all the thread plates and press Ctrl + E to unify them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Select the unified layer and press Ctrl + T to activate ((Free Transform)).</p>
<p>Then place 45º as rotation value (pointed with a red arrow in the image below).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Eliminate the layer with the grey background.</p>
<p>With ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)), trace the following selection.</p>
<p>It is important that the selection is well centered.</p>
<p>Save the ((Pattern)). ((Edit))-((Define Pattern)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Open  anew document, 350&#215;150px, and white background.</p>
<p>Double click the white layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p>((Blending Options)).</p>

<p>((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #5a5555, #909191, and #5a5555.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Pattern Overlay)). Select the Pattern that you saved in the previous document.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_012.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_012.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Apply ((Filter))-((Noise))-((Add Noise)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Change the layer mode to ((Screen)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Finally apply ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Motion Blur)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_017.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_017.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>This is the final result.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/Image_018.jpg" rel="lightbox[1992]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/chapa_labrada/thumbs_018.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p><span id="more-796"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 400&#215;300px, and white background.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Choose #3885c0 as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Select ((Shape Tool)) and, from the options bar, choose the standard shape.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).</p>
<p>((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Stroke)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>After applying the wide variety of ((Layer Styles)) you will see this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>In a new layer, add a text, element, or logo to which you will be able to apply ((Layer Styles)) as well. In this case I added the Design Owners logo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Open a new document, 800&#215;600px, and transparent background.</p>
<p>Select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Radial Gradient)), to trace a gradient, using the colors #4D799E and #122D43.</p>
<p>The gradient line&#8217;s trayect is pointed with a red arrow.</p>

<p>With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), draw a circular selection as the one you see below.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s add some shine to the ball:</p>
<p>Now select ((Pen Tool)) and create a trace as the one you see below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p>((Blending Options)), reduce the ((Fill)) to 0%.</p>
<p>((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #ffffff to transparent&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Select the layers that form the bubble and drag them into the ((Create a New Layer)) to duplicate them.</p>
<p>I recommend you to place the original layers in a ((New Group)). In order to create a news group, click the button ((Create a New Group)) located in the ((Layers)) drop down menu.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the duplicated bubble layer and change the ((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors #c12810 and #000000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Duplicate (Ctrl + J) the layers that form the bubble 4 times and then modify the colors to ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p>BLUE BUBBLE: #5961ce and #000000.</p>
<p>GREEN BUBBLE: #3ed461 and #000000.</p>
<p>VIOLET BUBBLE: #c459ce and #000000.</p>
<p>GREY BUBBLE: #9b9b9b and #000000.</p>
<p>You will see this result.</p>
<p>Note: You won&#8217;t see the blue bubble since it&#8217;s located in the ((Layers)) drop down menu.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layers much more times and, with ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), play with the sizes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now select all the  layers except for the background, and press Ctrl + E to unify them into an independent layer.</p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) of the unified layer to 80%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, duplicate the unified layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>Select it and place it underneath the original one.</p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) to 10% and move the bubbles 15px up and 10px to the right.</p>
<p>Done! Our bubbles invasion is ready!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are the basic techniques and foundations to create a 3D cube. This is a very easy tutorial, but it will open the door to different creations, such as houses, buildings, boxes, and more. The key will be the use of ((Free Transform)), exactly: ((Skew)) and ((Distort)). To create the light effect we will use ((Gradient Overlay)) and ((Color Overlay)).</p>
<p><span id="more-1996"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 300&#215;300px, and white background.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Select ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)), ((Style)): Fixed Size: 125&#215;125px.</p>
<p>Click once anywhere in the document and the selection will be created automatically.</p>

<p>Double click the layer to go to ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>Apply ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Flip Horizontal)).</p>
<p>Arrange the layer to the right side of the cube.</p>
<p>Modify the fill color: #2558ff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now Ctrl + Click the right side of the cube (the first layer you created) to activate the selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill it in with color #2558ff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create the superior base of the cube.</p>
<p>Go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Distort)) and create the following movement&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Press Enter to accept.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Color Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_012.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_012.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes and see the final results.<br />
It looks pretty real don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s turn the face of a person into a statue. We just need a marble texture to create the statue and a brick texture to use it as the background.</p>
<p><span id="more-1934"></span></p>
<p>First of all you need the image of a person. I recommend you to choose a picture in which the person doesn&#8217;t have a hair-do nor the hair all over the face.</p>
<p>I found this image at  <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/">http://www.sxc.hu/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1934]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Desaturate the image. ((Image))-((Adjustments))-((Desaturate)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1934]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Select ((Pen Tool)) and trace the lady&#8217;s contour.</p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Then ((Select))-((Inverse)) to invert the selection. person</p>

<p>Create a ((New Layer)), fill it in with white and place it underneath the image.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1934]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Download the marble texture by clicking <a href="http://www.cgtextures.com/texview2.php?id=9651" target="_blank">HERE</a> and open it in Photoshop.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1934]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Desaturate the texture. ((Image))-((Adjustments))-((Desaturate)).</p>

<p>Select ((Dodge Tool)), ((Midtones)), 162px, ((Exposure)): 50%, and paint the lady&#8217;s layer to illuminate the face.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1934]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/mujer_estatua/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are now 3 tutorials in Design Owners with the Apple theme. It&#8217;s been a long time since I published the last Apple-themed wallpaper, so I was thinking about adding a new one one of these days, and it is today! We will learn to create another Apple wallpaper. It will be necessary for you to have the Adobe Illustrator CS2 installed.</p>
<p><span id="more-1933"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 1024&#215;768px, and transparent background.</p>
<p>Fill it in color #C3823E.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Apply ((Filter))-((Noise))-((Add Noise)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Then ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Motion Blur)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + T to activate ((Free Transform)) and extend the background to the left and the to the right.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Before going on with the next step, you will have to download the file <a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Apple.ai" target="_blank">Apple.ai</a> that has the shape and colors of &#8220;the Apple&#8221;.</p>
<p>Once you have downloaded it, open it in Adobe Illustrator.</p>
<p>Select the entire apple and press Ctrl + C to copy it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go back to the Photoshop document.</p>
<p>Press Ctrl + V and you will see a pop up that asks you to choose the type of paste. Choose &#8220;Pixels&#8221;.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The apple and the leaf will be in separated layers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the apple layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Stroke)). The colors you will use for this gradient: #B4B4B4 and #FFFFFF.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p>Move the leaf a few pixels upwards so that it&#8217;s not very close to the apple.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer and apply ((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Choose black as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Select the font Motter Tektura and write the Apple text with the values that appear below. If you don&#8217;t have the said font, download it by clicking this <a href="http://www.free-fonts-ttf.org/true-type-fonts/motter-tektura-cyrilic-2435-download.htm" target="_blank">LINK</a>.</p>
<p>Now press Ctrl + T to activate ((Free Transform)) and rotate the text until it looks like this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Stand int he text layer and go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).</p>
<p>((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Stroke)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, you will have to fix the holes that appear in the letter &#8220;a&#8221;.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Select ((Polygonal Lasso Tool)) and create a selection as the one that appears below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_017.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_017.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Choose white as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Now with ((Brush Tool)), 50px, and ((hardness)): 50%, paint the selection with white.</p>
<p>Deselect (Ctrl + D).</p>
<p>Done!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/Image_018.jpg" rel="lightbox[1933]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/papel_tapiz_apple/thumbs_018.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

In order to save some time when applying ((layer Styles)), right click the layer that already has the styles and choose ((Copy Layer Styles)), then right click the name of the layer you want to apply the styles to and choose ((Paste Layer Styles)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_018.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_018.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate one of the bronze shapes with ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), reduce its size and arrange it to the center.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_019.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_019.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>In 2 layers, draw the following shapes with ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)), 10px.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_020.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_020.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Then copy and paste the bronze shapes&#8217; ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_021.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_021.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Select ((Pen Tool)) and draw a sape as the one you see below; it&#8217;s pointed with a red arrow.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_022.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_022.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Apply ((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors #89800b, #ede99c, #89800b, and #ede99c.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_023.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_023.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>With ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)), 10px, draw a shape as the one that appears below.</p>
<p>Apply ((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors #808080,#1e1e1e, and #808080.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_025.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_025.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>One of the last steps will be creating the lens connector.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_026.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_026.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;apply this ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_027.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_027.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p>As you can see, I duplicated the connector and placed it below the first one.</p>
<p>I hope you liked it! Greets!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/Image_028.jpg" rel="lightbox[1748]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/binoculares/thumbs_028.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will show you how to create a cherry that you will be able to use in any graphic design project. You will even be able to use it for a logo creation.
