Open template, Shift D to copy template, close out original

Delete copyright layer and re-size your canvas to 800 X 800

We will re-size again later, this just gives you plenty of room to work

Highlight the tall black rectangle, this is labeled as copy of Vector 1 layer

Open Paper 3, copy and paste as new layer, invert and delete, merge down

Open Paper 6, copy and paste as a new layer, move until it suits you, invert and delete, merge down

Now repeat those last two steps with the layer labeled Raster 8

Highlight the word-art layer, its labeled as Raster 3

Now choose a color from your tag or tube, fill in the word-art with a color from your tube

Now apply a little noise, use the settings below



Highlight the layer labeled Raster 2, its the pink rectangle

Flood fill it with the same color that you did your word-art

Highlight the oval layer, paste your tube in this oval, moving it to your choosing, invert and delete. Select none

Change the blend mode on the newly place tube to Luminance (L)

Change Visibility to 60%

You can delete the dotted line if you choose, I colored mine in.

Add any other elements you choose.

Apply Drop Shadow of choice.

Now crop your image to your choosing.

Once cropped re-size to 650 X 550

I choose Julius B Thyssen for my font

With a light color from my tag as my Foreground and black as my Background

Use tag as example for placement of name

Add copyright layer and save as PNG file.
