Script provided by Dynamic Drive.


Step 1:

Open a new transparent image 450 x 350.
Pick a colour from your tube. (I used #C62050) and flood fill the image.
Change your foreground to black and your background on Null.

Click on preset shapes and choose Rectangle.
Create as vector checked width 10.
Draw out a rectangle approximately 180 x 330 in size. Position it similar to where mine is.



Convert to raster layer. Duplicate this layer and mirror.
Right click on the top layer and Merge down.

Step 2:

Select your magic wand, tolerence and feather 0.
Click inside both rectangles holding down your shift key as you do.
Selections modify expand by 5.
Add a new layer and move this beneath your rectangle layer.
Flood fill with another colour from your tube (I used #89030E) and apply Filter Factory A's Spotlight filter, using the following settings.
DO NOT DESELECT.



Step 3:

Add a new layer and move this beneath your spotlight layer.
Flood fill with the same colour you used on the background in my case #C62050.
Go to effect VM Experiemtal and apply the Love Hate filter with the settings shown below.
DO NOT DESELECT



Rename this layer LOVE and hide the layer. Add a new transparent layer and apply the VM Love Hate filter again, same settings.
Rename this layer HATE.
Deselect.
Hide all your layers apart from the background layer and your love layer.
Make sure your Love layer is activated.

Select your paint brush, round size 6 and zoom in to 200%.
Now you have to paint over every other line so it looks like the one below.



Unhide your Hate layer and activate it.
Use your eraser to erase the Hate lines that overlap the Love, so at the end you have a line of Hate and a line of Love.
Unhide all your layers and it should look like the one below.



Step 4:

Activate your background layer and apply the Cybia Screenworks Dot screen plugin.

Activate your top layer and copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
Resize to fit and add a drop shadow.
I used Lokas 3d.

Layers merge all visible.
Image add border 2 pixels black.
Image add border 4 pixels, same colour used as your background.
Image add border 15 pixels black.

Step 5:

Set your foreground to black and your background to white and select your font.
I used Ardagh size 28, stroke width 1, vector checked.
Type your saying.
I used "Love me or Hate me, this is who I am. Get used to it!"
Click ok to apply and then go to Object/ Align Horz. center in canvas.
Convert to raster layer.
Move it up or down depending where you want it and apply the following drop shadow.

V = 3
H = -1
Opacity = 100
Blur = 4
Colour black

Leave your foreground as black but change your background to the same colour we used for the background.
Change the font size to between 72 and 100 depending on what font you used and write your name.
Rotate it sightly if you wish and then convert to raster layer.
Apply Cybia Screenworks Dot screen on the text too.
Apply the same drop shadow.

Add the artists credit and your watermark and save as a jpg.
