How to do this

[Raul Montana 0]

I apoligize if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

I see this retro style all the time, and I've attempted to design something like it with no success. So here I come to ask you Aqua-Softians to give me an idea on how this style is done/made/designed/created.

Also this website http://iso50.com/ has a lot of stuff that I love. So help a brotha out!

Thanks in advance!

You want to know how to write the code to get that to appear on a web page, or you want Photoshop help? I don't think it would be the latter, but it's safest to ask .

What part of it? The rainbow thingie? The dated border? The text?

this is a great site for explaining a worn look. http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/000024.html

that rainbow seems to be a vector shape with a pattern filled into it.

None of that looks too difficult. The rainbow thing would be some clever marquee (or shape) work with a little effort in a pattern overlay. A bit of distress to the overall background possibly some edge burning, maybe not. Some layer masking... A few text layers, some generic blending options. Voila!

Thanks for the effort everyone but I was looking to know how to make the rainbow shape thing

idunno22 thanks for the link!

ok first off - this is an illustrator job. Then its been imported into PS and effects have been applied

Maybe so, but illustrator isn't needed at all to reproduce any of the effects in that image.

Of course, now that I think about it, the same could be said for any picture. haha

just saying it would be much easier to do in Illustrator seeing as thats a vector image! PS is useless for all that....
