GPhone disc creativity

Hallo, my name is Jenya; friends call me Jeka (not a Joke) and welcome in making Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper. In this tutorial I want to combine Stylish Photorealistic illustration with design elements such as text, logo and color variations.

So let's get started with making a document with these dimensions.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Quite big I think and the print parameters are 300 DPI. I recommend you to have at least 2 Gb or Ram to work fast with such large documents.

Create a new layer and overlay it with simple liner style black to white gradient.

Tnx to layer modes in Photoshop you can create quite interesting effects. For example I've created a new layer, overlaid it with black to white gradient, only this time round and set the layer mode to Color Burn.

Now I can control certain areas, filling it with smooth gradation of black to white. You should try it.

Next step: Vinyl I did find some final references, mostly to find out the pattern of music lines on the vinyl.

.. And this is how I recreated them in Photoshop: Take' a rounded area, create a new layer.

Fill the area with black.

Make a smaller selection right in the center to paint some sort of graphics.

I'm using torn edge brushes for this, very abstract and fast: Basically a color tweak.

Maybe

a face: you can paint there whatever you want.

Leave the selection on all the time. Paste some text there.

Next step: vinyl pattern. I figured out how to this fast while looking once again on the vinyl.

Here are the gradient settings first. Here is the gradient itself - as you can see I'm using noise gradient.

De-saturate the layer leaving it without colors but with pattern that we need.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Lower the opacity.

It really seams painted like - I want to drop some shadows and lighting.

Here is the shadow line- where our shadow will be.

I also made a copy of vinyl pattern - so it is more intensive now.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Drop a mask on this layer.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Choose this gradient with settings below.

Use this gradient to hide the part of the pattern making it darker.

A little tweak - make a selection ( or a path ) - make work patch out of it ( or don't ) - choose type tool and type the letters on the circle.

Select the circle ( the one that is in the center ) - and apply a small gradient tweak - for more colors.

Next step: Complex lighting.

I have discovered a very good way to lightened up the 2d surfaces. It was quite easy - I've just used lighter ( white this time ) gradients on a top layer.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

More to that I'm going to decorate my lightened surface with this: I'm using basic round rough brush.

Those who are lucky to have a tablet will get better result I think. Just erase.

I recommend you to save this brush as a New Brush Preset - it will be saved with settings too. We will also need this brush to paint with.

Create a new layer chose this brush - (your saved brush) - choose white color - lower that opacity to about 80% and paint some of these dots.

Some black maybe too (on a new layer).

Opacity to the layer that has back spots is very low - represents shadows.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Next step: lighting technique.
Lightened:

See how many of these lights I have- just copied them.

One good at the top:

Some text adjustments:

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

Oh yeah almost forgot about the whole in the center. Make a new layer and tap just once with black color brush.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

And I sake of realism - just apply inner shadow. I've also applied noise filter to the color circle in the center so it might feel real- like paper.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper



Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

See how lights came out well.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper



Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

All the purple layers are the foreground (2d) lights.

Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper

And this is basically it: oh yeah here is my text part done in illustrator - if you watch it carefully you can make it. Basically type is involved here.

So tnx for watching this tutorial and see you next time with more designs or illustrations.
