Hi friends… For Photoshop users who are interested in experimenting and learning something new I think this is a powerful and simple tutorial. Sorry you don’t want to know Photoshop for creating this wallpaper…..by simply following the steps…you will be able to create this.So lets begin

Final result …….

Ok let’s begin…

Thinks that we needed to make this virus effect are simple.

Your face with close zooming and the background should be dark to get a better result. Take the picture with flashlight ON. Try to avoid shadows in your photo.





The next think we needed is beautiful wallpaper. I used the one given below. By changing the wallpapers, you will be able to produce spectacular results


Here is my wallpaper

 

I cropped the original wallpaper to make this. The name of this wallpaper is “The roadside day dream”


STEP 1
Create a new document, mine is 1600x1200 pixels.
Fill it with black. For that go to Edit>Fill


In fill menu use: color…

I used # 000000

STEP 2

Open your crazy face. (File>open)

Drag your image to the background layer using move tool. And rename this layer as “face”.


In most of the cases your face layer will be very large compared to background layer.
For resizing..(Experts plz avoid)
First zoom out the image using zoom tool
Then select the face layer from the layer box

Then select the rectangular marquee tool (M), Right click on the image and then select free transform

 

After transforming the image will look like this (will overlapped on the wallpaper layer)

STEP 3

Go to Image>Adjustments>Threshold

 

Adjust the threshold level and then press OK

STEP 4

Add the background wallpaper as a new layer and rename as “wallpaper” (I used name layer 1)
Place this “wallpaper” layer below the face layer
If resizing is needed do resizing for wallpaper layer as mentioned in step 2

Then select the face layer and in blending mode for layer option choose multiply.

Use the move tool and do some fine adjustments……. And the wallpaper is ready!

I hope you enjoyed this little Photoshop quickie. It's not perfect and it certainly could get more in-depth, but I had fun making it. That said, let me see yours!
THANK YOU………..
