change layer properties to luminance (legacy)

 

duplicate and change propeties to screen lower opacity to 50 or whatever looks good

(tube and copy below mask layer)

 

 

get out the rectangle pre shape tool. make sure your background is black and shut off your foreground

draw a wide rectangle down the middle of your tag, convert to raster, DS 2 -2 68 7 then repeat DS -2 2 68 7

 

 

put a fat gradient glow on your rectangle (white) width 3 all other settings at default and then a thin glow using your orange color

 

 

now take your text tool and find the destroy font. write the word boo or one of your choosing, in the black rectangle, image rotate, 90 degrees to the left(make the word as wide as you can)
and lower opacity to about 85

add a thin gradient glow using your orange color, add your copyrights and license.  i rotated the copyright 90 degrees to the left and placed on right hand side of rectangle

 

 

go to your top layer, add new raster layer select all flood fill black selections modify contract by 3 hit delete on keyboard select none
