Hi guys!
Iv hit a bit of a design snag, I've been trying for days to recreate an image simaler to the banner ontop of this page http://www.sdhservices.co.uk/ for a magazine I edit. But for the life of me I cant seam to get my head around how they have done it... and more so how they did the background image with the dog?
It must be a simaler technique as both images match up pretty well..
As I don't know what the technique is called I have been unable to find a tutorial for it... can anyone give me a bit of a helping hand on this?
Cheers in advance!
Chris

Hey! There's many ways to do this... however why do it over? Google free photoshop brushes and you can find awesome brushes looking just like that!
The image on the dog is simply a layer mask making only areas on the dog visible.

For sure, brushes are great but I have recently been trying to expand my photoshop skills and the best way I have found to teach myself is to find something neat that someone else has done and try to replicate it. I've seen that swirly wave technique before but no matter what filters or FX I use I cant seam to get even close.
Does anyone know of any kind of tutorial to do this kind of effect? Much apreciated!
p.s bdbolin - love the website really neat!

Thanks Solatario. I can't think of any tutorial's that I can remember that have that effect, but what I think may be close is this:
-Take pen tool
-make squiggly path
-Take brush and change settings to 0% hardness and quite small
-Back to pen tool, and right click your path
-Select something like stroke path I think it is
-Now you have one squiggle.
-In you pen options change to the "move point's tool" and just change the squiggle look.
-Keep doing that and stroking it.
-Perhaps after add like a motion blur to some of the bottom layers, or ever gaussian blur under more layer.
