Part One: This tutorial will teach you some techniques that can help you create simple and cool wallpapers, ads, and many other graphics.
Start by creating a new file (File > New) with a size of 1920×1200px / 72dpi. Apply the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and fill the new layer with the color #716D63.
Go toFilter > Noise > Add Noise and set as follows.
Layer parameters: Fill 70%
Duplicate the recently created layer and select the copied layer: Apply Filter>Blur>Motion Blur.
Select the Free Transform option on the same layer to stretch it all the way to the bottom.
Select the same layer: Apply Filter>Distort>Ripple
Layer parameters: Blending mode - Overlay
We need to create the next layer and also use the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to color it (#968D73).
Next we need to set the foreground and background colors.
Select the same layer: Apply Filter > Render > Clouds
and Filter > Filter Channel > Poster Effect
Layer parameters: fill 59%, blending mode - overlay
Duplicate the last created layer, select the duplicate layer and apply the Free Transform option to rotate it horizontally and vertically. On the duplicate layer we're going to hold down CTRL + U.
Part 2: Click at the bottom of the Layers panel and create a new fill or adjustment layer > Curves with the following settings:
Click on the layer containing the Curves adjustment layer at the bottom of the layer palette, add a mask and apply the black brush from thb-grunge-brushes.
In the next new layer (Create New Layer) we will apply the downloaded brush named BB_HighRes_Grunge_Textures with the color #A2987F.
Layer parameters: fill 30%, blending mode - color dodge
Create a new layer and use the white brush named BB_HighRes_Grunge_Textures as shown below.
Layer parameters: fill 44%, blending mode - overlay
In the next new layer (Create New Layer) we will apply the above series of brushes (BB_HighRes_Grunge_Textures), this time with the color #464031.
Layer parameters: fill 44%. Create a new layer and apply a standard black brush (10% Opacity) as shown below to outline the edges of the image.
