Create A Stylish Surfing Fashion Label Tag - PS Tutorials Lorelei Web Design Create A Stylish Surfing Fashion Label Tag — August 28, 2008

Important tip: pick only colors that already present in your  photo / image, this is how we came up with this palette for our frame:

#42514a – Dark green-blue – this shade was chaotically picked from the darker side of the ocean background.

#979856 – Dirty beige – this is the hue of our water in front of the girl.

#c14c20 – dark-dirty orange – this color, as unbelievably as it sounds, was picked from girl’s body, as you can see, she is actually of a dirty orange color.

After you have completed painting the curves (We will not teach using the pen tool here as we are arrogant and assume it’s a very basic technique you should know), add a shadow to the INNER, beige lines, so that the shadow will stand between the photo and the colorful frame, giving the composition more depth. See below the drop shadow settings:

So, we have it ready! Just add text (in same colors as the frame!) and crop the corners, if you want to have a more tag-like look of a label, and you are done.

    Hi, my daughters would like to create a surf label brand, and we would like to know how would get a start with our ideas please? We saw the young teenager on the television and know it is possible. My girls are very art orientated and have ideas to share with the world. We would like know how to be successful in this industry! Do we first have put together a portfoio on own ideas them have them secured and get a factory to make them or a sponsor ? We really would like to get a head start on this one please! Is there a website that can show us the way to the top?

    Thanks for listening, we will still continue to search for answers Thanks Donna Bennett

    Hey bro, wanna chill? The design elements dont seem to match, unless you really did intend for such a sharp contrast. Maybe you should tone down on the spirals.
