Metallic twirl



Another step by step tutorial in wich I explain how you achieve this nifty twirl with a metallic look. Please note! Due to the randomness of the clouds filter, your final result might differ a little from mine.

Step 1
Start a new document, preferably 800x600pixels. Make sure your foreground and background are set on black and white. Good, now we're set to go. Go to "Filter => Render => Clouds"


Step 2
After we have chosen some goodlooking clouds we're goin to add a new filter. It's almost all filters actually, nothing more to it. Now go to "Filter => Pixelate => Mezzotint (type: Coarse dots)".


Step 3
Guess what? That's right, another filter. Go to "Filter => Texture => Patchwork (Default settings)". Note! In photoshop CS4 you might want to click "show all menu items" because it is hidden by default.


Step 4
Next filter is wave distortion. Go to "Filter => Distort => Wave (Settings: see image)".

(click for full size)

Step 5
In the pre-last filter we're adding the twirl to our effect. Go to "Filter => Distort => Twirl (Angle: 999°)". Now, you might wonder, how does a brilliant mind like mine comes up with all of these steps to achieve something like that. The truth is ... I had no clue of what I was doing in the first place.


Step 6
Still looks like a bunch of stripes, so we're going to blur it. It's the last filter too! Go to "Filter => Blur => Radial blur (Settings: see image)".

(click for full size)

Step 7
Now add some more depth in it. Go to "Image => Auto levels" and voila. If for any reason auto levels is not in your menu (like mine in CS4, I have no idea were it's gone) than use auto tone, contrast, color. It should do the same thing


Step 7
For the last part you'll have to duplicate your layer. Make sure the duplicate layer is on top of the original one and selected.
Now go to "Edit => Transform" and flip it twice.
- Flip it horizontal
- Flip it vertical

For the duplicate layer i've set the layer style to "Linear Burn" but you might want to experiment with different ones too.

Final result. Remember that your result can differ from mine due to the clouds filter randomness. If you can't manage to get a good result try using the same document size as me.


Ps. I'd love to see your results, so leave a message if you want.

Comment report


Elements:
The point of image is a combination between of many point to make shapes and lines. The shapes are triangle, circle and square which are cut by many line as mean to show a violation between two competitors. The red triangle show to viewer a feeling about motion that it will continue moving to the circle. The line between blue and white that show two sides and it combine with many small shapes, big shape to mean that may be a war. The color are red show the army of enemy attack and the black color show that there is a headquarter. The white color show the side which independence. Moreover, the gray square show that is fortification of competitor. All colors in this image combine together and make a meaning as artist want.A pattern of image look like so confuse but it so reality about what artist want to show to everyone. A line between two color make the texture of image become more flexible and foundation.

Principles:
The balance of image is based on the line in the center of image. It combine with the white circle in center to make a proportion for image. The whole object of image is a red triangle and white circle as a proportion of image to make the image become more reality and exactly. The rhythm of image is many small red triangles around a big triage as many ways of fighting in war. The dominance of image are red triangle and circle in center because it show all meaning of image. And when people look in image, they will see two shapes in center at first. The unity of image is a combination between color and square so it make image become attractive. The typography is put in the top of red triangle and in white circle as mean the name.

Gestalt:
A closure of image is white circle in center to show the army is fighting and get independent for black side. The continuance is red triangle in center which a top as fighting attract of army and make the eyes of people follow it. The small squares around of image is similarity and it is type of shape and color. The artist use many small shape around as proximity overlap for his image and alight it follow slant line.
