Energy Pulse Background Effect
Energy Pulse Background Effect
In this tutorial you will be creating a very abstract energy pulse background effect. This effect works great for signature, and banner backgrounds, as well as when it is incorporated into header designs. The steps to create this effect are very quick, and easy which makes this a great tutorial for people who are newer to photoshop, and don't have much exposure to the various filters and other elements that make Photoshop such a great tool for design and development. Here is an example of what we will be creating with this tutorial:

Try adjusting the colors used in step #4, and apply different filters other than the Plastic Wrap in step #5 to get completely different results. The key to perfecting your abilities with Photoshop is practice, exploration, and more practice.
