When designing all full-screen big pictures, one picture can often determine the country. The weight of this picture may be the painting I worked hard for several nights, or the beautiful scenery I captured in a remote Shan Ye with a high-end digital camera I just bought.
The following tutorial is to teach you how to reprocess a full-screen photo, make it into a full-screen picture of a mobile phone, or enter your wallpaper library.
First, create a new document.
Open your PS, create a new file suitable for mobile phone screen, and set the size to W:640px H: 1 136px, and insert your picture into the document.
This is the picture I chose (photographer Jared).
Second, the beautification of pictures
1, basic beautification
If you choose an ordinary photo, post-processing is essential. At this time, I brighten my picture and reduce the contrast of the picture. The processing of pictures always varies from photo to photo, and there is no necessary step. The purpose of this is to adjust the photos to suit the effect they want to produce.
2. Use the pen tool to draw a triangle with a ruler and reference line above the picture, and the triangle is filled with black.
3. Add a gradient and overlay it on the triangle layer. The gradient is a black and white gradient. The position of the white slider is 90%, and the angle is changed to 100 degrees. Everything else is the default setting.
4. At this point, reducing the transparency of the triangle layer to 20% will get the following effect.
5. Then copy the triangle layer and move the copied layer to the right for a certain position, and make some changes to the parameters in the gradient overlay: check "Reverse" to restore the position of the white slider in the black-and-white gradient bar to the extreme right, and move the black slider to 10%.
6. Copy the layer of the first triangle again, and move the copied layer to a certain position in parallel to the left, with the same distance as when moving in parallel in the previous step. Change its transparency to 30%.
These adjustments to the layer transparency and parameters in the gradient overlay are not static. These changes are made according to the picture you choose and the environment you use. You need to try boldly and get the best results through various attempts. Only in this way can we master the software more flexibly.
Third, deep creative beautification.
Speaking of deep creativity, it sounds like an unreachable feeling. In fact, everyone will have this experience. Continue to beautify as much as possible and continue to think about how to make it more unique and aesthetic.
Here, I try to group these three triangle layers and then copy the group. I made a rotation of 180 degrees and changed the blending mode of the replication group to "overlay".
Therefore, it has the following effects:
The full-screen display on the iphone is as follows:
In the process of making pictures, we should learn to practice not the operation skills of software, but our creativity and sensitivity to beauty. Design your own mobile phone wallpaper by reprocessing a picture. On the basis of this wallpaper, add a nostalgic logo. The production method can refer to the tutorial on making nostalgic stamps that I once wrote.
"No design work is really finished", I hope this tutorial is just the beginning for everyone.
