End of the World Photo Manipulation

Preview:

"The End of the World" Photo Manipulation Design.




Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 800x533 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a black color. Now insert a stock photo of a highway scene, you can download the image used in this tutorial here.



Step 2:

Now add a stock photo of a flame scene with electricity flares on your canvas, you can download the image used in this tutorial here. Then grab the eraser tool with a large soft brush and Erase the bottom part of the flame scene stock photo layer.






Step 3:

On your layers palette set the flame scene layer's blending mode to Soft Light.



Step 4:

Duplicate the flame scene layer and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Then apply a 3.0 pixels radius blur to the second flame scene layer.



Step 5:

Select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Arial, bold, 12 pt, none and #0048FF color shade. In a new text layer type your first navigation link on the tab.



Step 6:

Apply a marquee selection around your canvas and go to Edit > Copy Merged. Then go back to Edit > Paste, a copy of your current design should appear on your canvas with its own layer. Now go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur, apply the settings below.





Step 7:

On your layers palette set the layer's blending mode from step six to Soft Light.



Step 8:

Duplicate the Soft Light layer from the last step.



Results:
