Ana Ivanovic Wallpaper Tutorial


1 - Open your canvas the size you want your wallpaper to be (I used 1280x800) and then fill the background layer with #7b7867.



2 - Insert this picture to your canvas http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1005288, blur it a bit using gaussian blur (make sure not to blur it too much, you want to keep the shapes visible) and set the layer to Color Dodge (opacity 72%)



3 - Then I inserted these 2 pics of Ana



and made the edges softer on the first one and extracted the second one from the background using layer masks and the magnetic lasso tool and placed them like this



4 - After that I inserted this stock image http://www.sxc.hu/photo/137055 and set it to Soft Light (100%)



5 - Next I made a new layer and filled it with #410f5d. Then I used a big white soft brush to fill in most of the space. I left the purple mostly on the edges and used gaussian blur to make the difference between the purple and white part look less visible.



After you are done with that, set this layer to Multiply (100%)

6 - Now I added a gradient map (layer>new adjustment layer>gradient map). I used this gradient



and set the layer to Screen (100%) and after that added a new gradient map layer with a black and white gradient which I set to Luminosity (52%)



7 - Next I added text. I used the font Bleeding Cowboys (the one Sean was so kind to give me) to write Ana in #af4f9b and set it to Color Burn (100%). I then copied that layer and set it to Color (100%). I repeated the same thing for "Ivanovic" but with the font AF Tommy Hilfiger and used a smaller size.



8 - Then I made a snapshot of the whole canvas (shift+ctrl+alt+e) and went to filter>artisitic>film grain (grain: 1, highlight area:2 and intensity 1). Just make sure that the snapshot layer is on top of all the other layers.

And here is the finished wallaper
