Hey fellow followers,
Since we are a couple of boys we have a thing called school to go to, and this is why we haven’t been posting much.
Frederick has changed school, but Will and Oscar are at the same school.

IE – Internet Explorer – is an application (program in Windows land) also known as Interweb Exploder… *cough* *cough* *crap* *cough*… Internet Explorer is so terrible! Visting web pages is made 100 times harder. ‘Sorry, your browser is not supported.’ Crap you say… Another web page ‘You need to install plugins to view this page,’ AAAAAAAAH! You proceed to install these plugins, but… ERROR!!!!!!!, ERROR!!!!!!!!! Damn! ‘Manually install these plugins?’ It asks. You go to the download page for the plugin, and low and behold BOOM!!! It crashes, *POOOF*. Where did it go!!!!! ERROR report! Miscrosoft explorer quit unexpectedly! You visit another web page, *huh?* no crashes. Until… ‘Windows has encountered an error and needs to close’, translation: ‘IE crashed for the sheer hell of it… and thats it…’

Hi,
This is the first time I have made a tutorial and I am still learning all the tricks but anyway, here is a tutorial on making an ‘alien’ glow effect with a background.
If you don’t like the way I have done it then you can achieve a similar effect with layer styles…
Create a new image and fill it with a light colour.We’ll call this colour ‘one’. Make the foreground colour a lighter colour of the same hue (we’ll call this colour ‘two’) and the background black. Then go filter > render > difference clouds. set the bending mode of the layer to Hard Light. It should look something like this, depending on the colour you chose first up:
Now make another layer with a black to ‘two’ gradient in it like this:
then change the blending mode to Hard Light on the gradient layer. Now make a new layer filled with 50% grey and change the opacity to 85% on that layer. Go to the eraser tool and get a big, soft brush. Draw the shape you want to have. Set the blending mode to Linear Burn. Duplicate the layer, change the blending mode to Difference, and set the opacity to about 10% (or whatever looks right.) You should get something like this:
get the elliptical marquee tool and draw a circle around the shape. invert the selection with Select > Inverse. Go to Select > modify > feather and choose a radius of about 20px to blur the edges. make another layer and fill the selection with black. Make the blending mode soft light with an opacity of 65%. if you want you can take the selection and isolate the shape, but I’m going to leave it as it is.
The finished piece…
Thanks for reading,
Oscar
I am thinking of new ideas for the CSS template. I have made a draft of the CSS, including a logo in the top left corner with a fixed position. I shall talk to Fred…
