*go to LAYER / LAYER STYLE / gradient overlay
* set STYLE as RADIAL
*BLEND MODE as NORMAL
*SATIN OVERLAY

(make sure your colors are black & white for the background & foreground.
Step 3 - Change the BLEND Mode of the Clouds Layer to COLOR DODGE.
Step 4 - Select the erase tool using a regular brush and change the opacity to 20%. Then erase some areas leaving the center brighter.

*18 pix for SIZE
Step 6 - Use a brush or photo of your choice to use as a glowing/flame effect.
Step 7 - Cut an area of the brush or photo and place it into your document.

Creating an "Amazing" Nike Logo!

Sorry ladies, my jpg file would not load up onto my blog exactly
the way it looked in photoshop. However, I will e-mail the file
to Denielle and hopefully she can pull it up during class. Wow!
If it isn't one thing, it's another!!!!!!!!!!!

NEW!!!!!!



Well this looks nothing like the original. I had a change of heart
over the break, did some sketches and this is what I came up with.
Please, comment and let me know what you guys think about my new [make over]!
