Kang 2 - ice cream spiral

Ready to go?? Ok, here we go

1. Open a new transparent graphic 600 x 480. We will be resizing later.

2. Get your eye dropper and choose a light and a dark color from your tube. Dark should go on your foreground and background should be light.

3. Choose your font and size. Size 72, stroke width at 1 and make sure you create as vector.

4. Type your name or saying and use the nodes to stretch it out the way you want. Convert to raster layer. Add a drop shadow of your choosing.

5. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and sit her on top of your name. Add a drop shadow of your choice.

6. Go to your bottom raster layer and with brushes of your choice apply them behind the other layers. I added the halo and devil's trident on there. Add a drop shadow of your choosing to this layer as well.

7. Make a new raster layer and move it to the bottom. Choose a third color from your tube. Something lighter. Flood fill your raster layer.

8. Go to effects, kang 2, ice cream spiral. Put your top three at the same settings as mine but play with the colors so it will match your tube :)



9. Go to image, add borders and add a border of 3 in your dark color. Add borders again this time in your light color 6 pixels. Then repeat the dark color at 3 pixels again.

10. Layers, merge layers, merge all flatten. Resize your graphic to 75%. Add your copyright and watermark and save!
