photoshop design

step 8

Use the Lasso tool to make a diagonal, selection across the square and hold Shift to force 45 degrees. You might want to use Photoshop transparent squares to line it up perfectly. Once your selection cuts the square into two triangles, cut and paste to a new layer.

Step 9

To start building the kaleidoscope effect, duplicate the layer and flip it horizontally. Match the 90-degree edges up and merge the two together. Duplicate again, flipping vertically this time. This time, match the middle point edges and Merge Down. 

Step 10

Rotate the merged layer by 90 degrees and merge down to complete your first kaleidoscope effect. Now repeat using the other section from the original: square Marquee to get a neat ‘inverted’ feeling. You can feel free to experiment by repeating the kaleidoscope steps using a different original selection if you desire.

Step 11

Duplicate your two kaleidoscopes into your At- document, placing the darker one below the lighter Set tl-e blending mode on the lighter effect to Darken. Create a new layer and drag out a gradient from a bright pink to red – set this blending mode to Multiply. Top all of this off with a Color Balance adjustment layer that pulls the Shadows towards Blue. Throw all these layers Into a group and save.
