Final Backgrounds Project

 

Above are three of the backgrounds that I made. The first is a colorful swirls background. To make it, I used a lot of the filter tools like the cloud tool, the mesotint, radial blur, and the twirl tool. I then duplicated the layer and swirled it the other way then used the hue and saturation tool to change the color of the swirls. I changed one of the layers to lighten so that both layers would show up well. The second is a wavy background. I used mainly the wave filter tool and the gradient tool. For the 3rd one, I duplicated the layers and changed the color of the waves by using the hue and saturation tool. Then I used the warp tool and warped the lines into a interesting shape. Then I changed the color of the background to black because it looked better with the rainbow. Then I made a new layer and added small dots using the brush tool. I then set that layer to glow overlay to give it the effect of light.The last one I made is a windows vista background. I used the ellipse tool and painted in white. I blurred a background and made it purple using the hue and saturation tool. I changed the colors of the lines and set them to have an outer glow.
