PhotoShop - Soundwave
Here you will be taught how to make a cool looking
soundwave .
| 1) |
Open a new file, I made mine 450 pixels
by 250 pixels and have the background as black. |
| 2) |
Using the Lasso tool draw the
outline of what you want your soundwave to
look like. this is what mine looks like. |
3) Now on A SEPERATE LAYER fill in the
shape with white.
| 4) |
Now make a copy of this layer (the soundwave
layer) and goto EDIT > TRANSFORM > FILP
VERTICALY
Now line the layer up so that it forms a complete
soundwave thing. |
| 5) |
Now merge these 2 layers into each other.
LAYER > MERGE DOWN. make sure your don't
merge the background into these layers. |
| 6) |
Click EDIT > TRANSFORM > ROTATE 90. |
| 7) |
Click FILTER > STYLIZE > WIND. A box
will pop up. For my soundwave I selected WIND
and from the right. I did this 3 times. Then
I did it 3 more times from the left. |
| 8) |
Were almost done. Now goto FILTER > BLUR
> MOTION BLUR. Set it to 0 degrees and
30 for the distance. (it doesn't have to be
30, thats just what i used, but generally
stay inbetween 10 - 35) |
| 9) |
Now just go to EDIT > TRANSFORM >
ROTATE 90 and there you have a very cool soundwave.
I went on and make a seperate layer and color
dodged it and change its color so here is
what i ended up with |
