ASUS ROG Theme

Hey guys, this is what my desktop looks like now! Essentially, I changed the start orb using start orb changer 2.0 to an ROG orb. Also, the wallpaper has a really nice ROG logo, complemented by an ROG skinned dock from Rocketdock! Finally, I have also used an ROG cursor set but it doesn't show on the print screen. Anyway, credits to the people who have provided these awesome ROG stuff. I will post the links soon!

Global Light [Atmosphere]

Hey Guys,

Finally found the time to do a little Photoshop. Essentially, these 4 wallpapers above are all the same apart from the global light. Notice how the changing of 1 setting can affect the atmosphere of the entire art piece. Email me at kennethchow96@gmail.com to get the stock files. Also, this is a relatively simple piece to create and should be done in less than 15 minutes, a mere stencil layer placed on a standard mac wallpaper. However, it drastically improves the quality of the piece. Such tricks are simple but would take sometime to experiment with to get the desired effect. So here it is, done for your reference!

Thanks,

Kenneth

Hey everyone. Did a wallpaper again because I'm running out of ideas for UIs. This may be simple but looks really good when you actually set it as your wallpaper. Will be updating soon!

Heart Vacancy Wallpaper

Sorry for the lack of Photoshop works recently due to my busy schedule. Didn't really have much time to do anything today either but I managed to do a really simple but high-impact (in my opinion) wallpaper. Really like the songs The Wanted have done recently so I decided to base my creation of one of their really nice songs which you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCrfFKAqEPw. I don't really have much time to post much but ahead of tomorrow, Happy valentines!

Merry Christmas

Hey guys, have been very busy so I did not update this blog for a few days. Here is my Christmas wallpaper!


I will try to post the tutorial soon but I am not going to guarantee anything. Thank you!

Basic Photoshop wallpapers (Facebook style)

Hey people, I have created some awesome wallpapers recently and I have decided to be nice and share about how these were done. The above design was actually inspired by Facebook as you might have guessed from the logo. So how exactly did I create that metallic logo?

1) Firstly, select the rounded rectangle tool and hold down the shift key to draw a square with rounded sides. Make sure that the foreground color is grey.

2)Right click the layer and select blending options and make the following changes:

(Click to enlarge in new tab)

3) After you are done with the metallic button, create a new text layer and input the letter you desire.

4) Following which, change the blending options as shown below:

5) Finally, add some text such as a tagline and your completed wallpaper should look something like the one shown below:

Here is another wallpaper that I have created using Photoshop with a more original, game like feel. To find out how this was done, come back to check out the next few posts where I will describe it in greater detail.

Thank You for visiting my blog and I hope you have learnt a thing or two about Photoshop-ping wallpapers.

Looking back, I am not sure if I can give a full tutorial on the red wallpaper. It is a lot more complex and would take a lot of screen estate to explain. But i'll try anyway.
