Glass Badge with Transparency effect
In this Photoshop Video tutorial I will show you how to create a transparent glassy looking badge. Remember, if needed, you can always pause the video as you take time to work it out on your own.
The final product looks something like this, but without the text:

If you want to know how to create those colors in the background image - check out the colorful lighting effect.
Colorful Lighting effect in photoshop, super, simple and exciting.
Lets Begin.
STEP 1:
Go to FILE>OPEN and search your computer for a nice photo that you can work on. I purchased this one from Istockphoto: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-10148575-fiber-optical.php
Any photo that you choose will be ok. Here are a couple photos I suggest trying this effect on:
- A photo with lights on a dark background
- A photo with White smoke on a dark background.
STEP 2:
Go to LAYER>NEW FILL LAYER>and select GRADIENT.
STEP 3:
- Give this layer a name. I used the name "color".
- Put a check in the "Use previous layer to Create Clipping Mask" checkbox.
- change the "Mode" to "color"
- click OK.
STEP4:
Keep all properties the same as you see them in the image above. Click once on the "Gradient" Bar for the next window to pop up.
STEP 5:
From top to bottom:
- Choose the "Foreground to Transparent" Preset. Remember you can chose anyone one really. I chose the transparent so one side would be a very subtle effect.
- Gradient Type: Solid
- Smoothness: 100%
- Click once on the left "stop"box located right below the Gradient Strip. (In my image it is yellow. You can use whatever color you want.)
- Be Creative (-:
- Now you can move lower to the "Stops" section and click on the box next to where it says: "Color:"this will bring up the window for you to choose your desired color.
SOME INTERESTING POINTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW:
- To add "stops" along the strip you simply click right below the gradient strip with your mouse and it will add one for you.
- To get rid of an extra color "stop" you simply grab on to one box and drag it downward. Poof it's gone!
So once you chose your colors and are happy with the gradient colors, CLICK OK.
And you're done. You should have something looking like this. Super simple. But super cool too. ENJOY!

Green & Clean design - Smoke2.0, the latest smoking trend?
.png)
It's nothing like Web 2.0 but I would say it is the next generation smoke. The latest HYPE in the smoking world, looks like its taking off. I like to call it SMOKE2.0 It's an electronic cigarette. It's a cigarette with no odor! I am not a smoker, so let me tell you, if you are, this cig will make everyone non-smoker around you much happier(-: You even charge it using a USB connection. How cool is that?
So I was hired to design some of their original packaging and some other promotional material. The logo was already designed beforehand, I don't take credit for their logo. I tried to keep the design green and clean. That's about it.
Here is an excerpt from the official GreenSmoke WebSite: "The Green Smoke electronic cigarette contains only the nicotine you want, nothing you don't want. No tar, carbon monoxide and 4000 other toxins. It leaves no odor behind on your breath, hands, or clothes, does not cause any second hand smoke, can be smoked anywhere - even in No Smoking Zones. In addition, it comes in eight flavors including tobacco, tobacco Marl, menthol, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, apple and strawberry. And each of those can come in one of five nicotine levels. Moreover, in the long run it costs a whole lot less than traditional cigarettes."
See what some Green Smokers have to say about their new smoke.
So guys, if you are hooked on smoking, and are still smoking the old stuff, check out the alternative Smoke2.0, try Greensmoke.
