lee work process

finally for my contacts page, i made a new group layer and added the text. 

i then using the selection tool, and the magnetic lasso tool selected the required areas, made a new layer and filled them black. i then added the paint splats with the custom brush to continue the grunge effect. 
for my links page i added the logos from the pages i wished the web page to link to in a seperate group layer. 
finally i added the basic information.
then i added the border usening the shape tool, and added some paint splatters with the custom brushes to add a grunge effect. 
for my portfolio page, i created a new group layer, and added all the thumbnails from the images i want within my portfolio. 
i then added the basic information to the image. on a separate layer, i also added the labels to the tabs.
i then added the image lucypic.psd, and edited it with the custom splatter brushes to give it the grunge connotations, in a new group layer titled "home". 
then using the custom logo brush i made earlier, i added the logo to the corner of the page. this background will now be used for all my pages. 
using the rainbow image i created earlier, i added it to the background on a new separate layer, behind the beepbeep image and the grass. 
i then added the image beepbeeprun.png onto a new layer above the grass.
then useing a custom brush on a seperate layer i created the grass tips. 
then useing the shape tool i added the tabs on separate layers below the background.
i then on a separate layer i then created another box using the selection tool , and used the gradient tool to colour it. this will be used as  the background for my pages. 
then using a circular brush, i created on a separate layer the clouds and the sun. 
i then repeated the process on a separate layer to create the grass. 
i then created a new group of layers for the background, and called it background. then using the selection tool, created a small rectangle to highlight the area i wished to colour then using the gradient tool, i added the sky tones. 
how the layers are laid out.
i then created a brush for my logo, so that it would remain the same on every page. i then placed it as a title. 
i then added the image file lucas.png, and placed it in front of the rainbow. 
i then, using the circular select tool, coloured an area red on a separate layer, then using the contract tool, i made the selection smaller by 20 pixels and added the orange. this method was repeated till an entire rainbow was formed. then, using custom brushes, i added the paint splats to create a grunge feel. 
for my introduction page, i opened a new document in photoshop sized 966 pixels by 600, and coloured the background black.
