wanted


step 1 of 28

Make a particular document.
There are no limitations with it but it really depends on how large would your design be for the output.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 1

step 2 of 28

Fill the background or the current layer with a black fill.
But you can also use a color that you want to that would fit your design.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 2

step 3 of 28

Make a new layer and fill it with green.
But you can choose any color you want to fill the layer.
It really depends on what your design would be and for what it should be.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 3

step 4 of 28

Now apply some filters to the layer filled with green.
Apply Noise. Add Some Noise. To have a grain effect.
Then apply a distort filter. The Twirl Filter.

But again it really depends on how your design would be its for you to decide how much noise would it be and how much twirl would it need.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 4

step 5 of 28

Now still in the current layer where you applied the Noise and Twirl filter.

You should add again another filter found in the filter folders.
The Reticulation or the Stained Glass Filter.

You can choose your settings depending on your design.
Don't be afraid to drag left or drag right the sliders because you can just undo it if your not satisfied with the results.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 5

step 6 of 28

Now make a text paragraph made up of 1's and 0's occupying the whole canvass/document area.

You can use text or other numbers you want depending on your future design.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 6

step 7 of 28

Now you have it the preliminary output of all the steps.

A little bit simple in the eyes but much more complicated for other people to see through it and how you did it.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 7

step 8 of 28

Now duplicate the layer where you the applied filters.
Duplicate it two times.

Notes:
Ctrl + J (duplicate layer) with current layer selected to be duplicated.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 8

step 9 of 28

Don't make any changes or any edits on the original layer that you have many those duplications.

Now just merge the two layers that you have duplicated with the text layer (layer with numbers or text) and convert it to a new shape from layer as a sphere.

Now you got a sphere with a green numeric background.
So cool now.

You can find the New Shape From Layer in the 3D Menu.
Right next to the Analysis Menu.

Notes:
In order not to distort the 3d image/shape while transforming or moving.

Convert the 3d image/shape into a smart object or just rasterize it directly.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 9

step 10 of 28

Now make some straight lines infront of the sphere and at the back of the sphere so that it would look like the sphere is wrapped.

Notes:

To duplicate shapes in a easy way just hold
Alt + drag the particular image to be duplicated.

Fast hands would make fast jobs. : D

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 10

step 11 of 28

Now you merge the lines infront of the sphere and also merge the lines at the back of the sphere.

Notes:

To select multiple layers.
Hold down the Ctrl key then click all the layers you wanted to choose/highlight.

To merge multiple layers.
Highlight or choose all the layers you wanted to merge then press Ctrl + E.

Now you know. : D

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 11

step 12 of 28

Now you apply motion blur to the front merged lines layer and also to the back merged lines layer to have a motion effect on the wrapping of the sphere.

Notes:
If you have just made one filter on the layer and you didn't like it. You can undo filters by pressing Ctrl + Z.

But if you have made made a couple of filters press Hold down the Ctrl key + Alt key + Z to go back to the stage you wanted.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 12

step 13 of 28

Now apply a layer style THE STROKE option on the front merged lines.
Particularly which gives outlines to your shapes or texts.

Again you can choose your settings depending on your particular design.

Notes:
To easily go to the Layer Style Menu just double click the particular layer where you want to apply the particular layer style.

Yeah now you know. : D
Cool!

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 13

step 14 of 28

Now apply a layer style THE STROKE option on the back merged lines.
Particularly which gives outlines to your shapes or texts.

Again you can choose your settings depending on your particular design.

Notes:
To easily go to the Layer Style Menu just double click the particular layer where you want to apply the particular layer style.

Yeah now you know. : D
Cool! Cool! :D

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 14

step 15 of 28

Now make two rectangles on the x axis of the sphere one with a white fill and a rectangle with a green fill larger than the other rectangle.

Then apply some opacity changes so that you could so definition and clarity.

You should apply opacity so that you won't destroy the main design.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 15

step 16 of 28

Now apply filters on the green rectangle which is more clearer and larger than the white one.

Apply the Lens Flare Filter.
Particularly this filter gives a spotlight effect on the image/text which you would apply it.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 16

step 17 of 28

Now again you should apply filters but not on the green rectangle but on the sphere layer.

To give the sphere more light and definition.

Apply Lighting Effects.
Particularly to give light/brightness to a certain part of an image/text.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 17

step 18 of 28

Now remember we got a background layer which is filled with black.

Now choose it and apply filters on it.

Apply Clouds Filter.
Particularly used to give some texture on an image.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 18

step 19 of 28

Now duplicate the layer from which we applied the Clouds Filter.

Leave the original layer at the bottom and drag the duplicated layer at the top but below the front merged lines layer.


Creation of Wanted Database: Step 19

step 20 of 28

Now remember you got the front merged lines layer on top of the layer that was a duplicate of the layer where you applied the Clouds Filter.

Now choose the front merged lines layer and change its Blending Mode from Normal Mode into Overlay Mode.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 20

step 21 of 28

Now also change the Blend Mode of the second merged lines layer from Normal Mode into Overlay Mode.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 21

step 22 of 28

Now make a custom WANTED text and add up a layer style.
Apply Outer Glow effect.


You can choose your settings depending on your design.
Don't be afraid to experiment the styles.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 22

step 23 of 28

Again still in the layer style menu.

Apply Inner Glow Effect.


Still you can choose your particular settings for it.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 23

step 24 of 28

Now duplicate the text layer (Wanted Text).
Then transform it. Flip Vertical.

So now you have a wigwam text effect.


Notes:
To Transform a image or text...

Hold down the Ctrl key then Press T.
Right click then you would see a couple of options for manipulation.

: D Cool!

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 24

step 25 of 28

Now change the Layer Opacity and Fill opacity of the duplicated layer so that it would be transparent and would look like a mirror below it.

Notes:
To adjust Layer Opacity easily...
Choose/Highlight the particular layer you want to change the opacity then...

Press 1 = 10% opacity
Press 2 = 20% opacity
Press 3 = 30% opacity
Press 4 = 40% opacity
Press 5 = 50% opacity
Press 6 = 60% opacity
Press 7 = 70% opacity
Press 8 = 80% opacity
Press 9 = 90% opacity
Press 0 = 100% opacity

And for Fill Opacity to be easy...

Hold down the Shift key then Press 1 = 10% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 2 = 20% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 3 = 30% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 4 = 40% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 5 = 50% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 6 = 60% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 7 = 70% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 8 = 80% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 9 = 90% opacity
Hold down the Shift key then Press 0 = 100% opacity

Now you really know the easy way... : D

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 25

step 26 of 28

Again make a text layer and key in PLANET NEBULA and fill it with a red fill.

You can choose your text fonts and fills depending on your design.

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 26

step 27 of 28

Now remember what you did with the past text layers.
Again apply layer styles.
Apply The Stroke Effect.

Then change its opacity...
Remember not the layer opacity or the fill opacity but the opacity on the Stroke settings found in the Stroke menu.

: D CooooL!

Creation of Wanted Database: Step 27

step 28 of 28

Now you're done and you're good to go...

A future database and prison for the wanted persons, aliens, and planets.

Too much imagination won't kill you.
Imagination is free.

Cooooool! : D
