Can someone make a tutorial from this?

I know it's done on photoshop but can someone replicate this?

I think I can try to convert it for you, just give me a little time and I'll give you the results

[Work in Progress]:

Header with "Tech-Look":

Translated from PhotoShop, by request:

First, start up with a new image, with the size which best fits your purpose.

After that, choose the color you'd like to use as a base. Choose the color as your primary clor, and choose a lighter/darker variation of it as your secondary color.

Select the , then select the option for it, and start creating the gradient in the middle of your image. (Hold shift while doing the last step to make it perfectly horizontal).

Next up, create a new layer, and select the .

Mark up a circle in the middle of the image, choose "subtract" as your selection mode,

and create a smaller circle in your first one.

After that, choose the , still with "subtract" as your selection mode, and make a thick line throughout the middle of the circles.

Alternatively, after making the first circle, you can subtract an egg-shaped circle from the first one.

Then you'll end up with this:

Next, fill the selections with white, using the :PaintBucketTool:.

If the selections are very rough, you can use one of the blur effects to smoothen it a little.

If you want it to be as perfect as possible, you can use the "Align Object" plugin to center the circle in the middle of the picture.

Then, duplicate this layer and resize it.

Place it close to where you want your link to be, and select the :LineCurveTool: with 1 pixel width.

Make some similar lines to this, on a new layer.

make the pattern in a square save as a png. and use photo flood fill.

They tell you the colors to use, as well as the gradient.

The rest can be done using ellipses (with a rectangular section removed from the center), align object, flipping layers horizontally, panelling, and scanlines.

I played with it for about 5 minutes and got this far...I assume you can make the lines and add the text.

My try (it was quite simple and easy to make )

I know it's simple enough, but I thought when starting on it, why not just go all the way, to help out the newcomers too :>

@JK-FlexShot:

Trust me, sometimes it's better for the new users to try it out on their own, droping some hints would be better for them.

[LFC4EVER]

Ok, the main plugins and tools i used are:

Gradient

Oblique Plugin (by Madjik)

Line tool at different styles

Ellipse tool

Diagonal lines

Align Object

Flip Horizontal

Ash, I guess you're right when I think about it.

At least if they got too many problems, they can probably use my tutorial so far to start on it
