Creating Pop Art

We’ll create a popart design using an image of the singer shown below.

Create girl selection using lasso tool press Ctrl+Shift+I to inverse the selection. Press delete to remove the outer area. Now duplicate the girl layer twice.

Select top laye. From image menu select adjustments>>threshold.

Apply settings as shown.

Since the t-shirt of the girl is white color we can’t see much effect in t-shirt area. For that we’ll remove the t-shiet area from this layer and apply threshold again on the layer below. Create selection of the girl’s body using lasso tool.

Press delete to remove t-shirt area.

Select the second layer from top. From image select adjustments>>threshold. Apply settings as shown.
Fill the background with yellow color.
Hide the girl layers. Draw tile shape using custom shapes.
Duplicate thihs layer many times. Scale and rotate randomly.
Unhide the girl layers.
Fill the tile layers with different colors.
Play arround with the layer modes of the different tile layers to get an interesting background effect.

Creating a Chocolate Bar
In this tutorial we’ll create a chocolate bar. Start by creating a rectangle using rectangle shape tool.
In layer window double click rectangle layer to open layer style window. Apply bevel&emboss and gradient overlay and use settings as shown.
With line tool draw a vertical line to divide in two parts.
Press shift and make some horizontal divisions. Chnage layer mode for this layer to exclusion.
To the lines layer apply bevel&emboss using following settings. Pillow emboss will create illusion of division being engraved in chocolate bar.
Write some company name or flavour on one division of chocolate. use a dark brown or black color. Rotate using transform tool and copy it in all divisions.
Apply bevel&emboss on text layer to give it an engraved effect.
Link all layers and rotate clockwise a little bit.
This completes the chocolate bar. Hide the chocolate bar. In a new layer create a rectangle. Apply blue to black gradient and rotate a little.
Using pen tool create some curve shapes. Fill it with white color. Change layer mode to overlay.
Type company name over it with some nice font.
Add some more design elements as per your wish.
Unhide chocolate layer.
On background layer apply a nice gradient that goes well with the chocolate. We used default copper gradient.
