The Giga vector pack 5 contains the following mega vector packs: Urban 2, Vintage 7, Vintage 8 and Seamless.

What you have to do is comment how will you use the vectors in this giga pack.

The giveaway ends Monday the 5th and we will announce the winners on Tuesday.

So that’s fairly simple, now go ahead and comment :).

At the moment we have 17 designs girlish or fitted for children with some really cute monsters (at least we think so).

Why are these different, well because our designers spent a lot more time on the drawing board for these designs and the the outcome is really amazing. I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

We have a collection set for half the price, a really good bargain for all of the designs.

FINAL IMAGE

You can download the psd file at the end of the tutorial.

Let us begin!

STEP 1

Create a new document of a desired size and fill it with black by using Default Foreground and background Colors(D and the Paint Bucket Tool(G) and click on the workspace. This is usually the first step for many other drawings, so you should get used to this part. You can also add a gradient.

Now duplicate this layer by going to Layers > Duplicate layer… or just press CTRL+J. I recommend you learn shortcuts, they are a life saver.

STEP 2

Grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and draw a rectangle to cover about 80% of the “Background copy” layer like below.

STEP 3

Go to Filter > Render > Fibers… Set the Variance to about 23 and Strength to 5. Click OK. Now press CTRL+D to deselect.

STEP 4

Now go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Set Angle to 90 degrees and Distance to 500. Should look like the image below.

STEP 5

Open the Levels window (CTRL+L) and play around with the cursors to give it more contrast.

STEP 6

Double-click the top-most layer in the layer palette to bring up the Blending Properties window and check Color Overlay tab. Click that tab and set Blend mode to Multiply.

Grab a color of your choice. I used (#ff0000 – default overlay color).

STEP 7

Duplicate this layer (CTRL+J) and move the curtain on the new layer to the right. Then duplicate it one more time.

STEP 8

Grab the Warp Tool (Edit > Transform > Warp) and curve up the top-most layer image. Then move it to the top right like below.

STEP 9

Open the Blending Properties window (double-click layer) and check “Drop shadow”. Use the settings below.

STEP 10

Duplicate this layer, then move it to the top left corner. Now go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal. Reposition it to look natural.

STEP 11

Go to layer palette and create a new layer group and drag all layers in it. Drag that layer over the “New Layer” button.

Merge the new layer group (select group, press (CTRL+E). Turn off “Group 1″ layer group. We do this so we can be able to edit them later of we need to.

Done!

You can also take the idea even further and make those cheesy colored drapes by adding patterns over them like below.

Every once in a while is hard to find work or maybe business is a bit slow so is good to have an extra income, a passive income. If you are a designer and you want to have a passive income here are few things that can help you achieve that.

1. Use the designs that that were rejected by your clients and sell them on Graphic leftovers or a similar marketplace.
2. Sell email services to your clients under your name with Campaignmonitor.
3. Sell templates, a handy list of 10 places to sell templates.
4. Sell photos or vectors on Shutterstock.com, Istockphoto.com, Fotolia.com or Graphicriver.
5. Design and sell products on Cafepress or Zazzle, not only t-shirts you can sell a bunch of other stuff.
6. Create a blog and add some affiliate banners to earn commissions or sell advertising if you have enough visitors.
7. Write an ebook and sell it.
8. Write articles or tutorials for blogs and magazines.

These are only a few things you can do, of course this takes time and the profit from this does not come over night. You can work on some of this stuff when you are between projects and spend your time more effectively and why not maybe even profitably.
