Texture Tutorial

"Assignment"

Taking what you've learned from making textures, using filters and channel operations, create your own "texture tutorial". You can work to create a "real" texture, or experiment until you come up with something new and unique.

• Make it simple to understand. Can your kid brother or sister do it?
• Illustrate each step.
• Emphasize at least one step by circling and pointing out a part of an illustration. (see below for an example)
• The last illustration should show the completed texture.
• Your heading should include the name of the texture.
• Print it out and test it on a classmate. Does it work as advertised?

Here is and example of a  first step:

1. Create a new document that is 5x5 inches in size. Set your resolution to 72 and your color mode to RGB. Make your background contents white.

Solar System

• Using your Blobs, Marble, Wood and Metal textures, create a "Solar System".

• Use the "Lens Flare" filter to create a sun.
• Each planet will should incorporate the three layer effect demonstrated in class. 
• Scale the planets to give a feeling of depth. (Relative Scale)
