Needed: Photoshop 7 or higher (can also use PSP)

1. Select a graphic to use, generally one with large graphics instead of small details

2. Go to the Layer tab> Duplicate Layer

3. Go to the Filter tab> Texture> Patchwork with Square size 4 and Relief of 8

4. Go to the Filter tab> Blur> Motion Blur with an angle of -35 (35 degrees) and a distance of 100 pixels

5. Then, on the Layers tab (or Windows tab> Layers), have that pixelated layer highlighted and then do 55% opacity.

6. Save and show off to the world:



NOTE: You can always modify the angle and distance of the motion blur, as well as that of the opacity. It all depends on the kind of graphic you're using and the effect you're trying to get.

Nice! I love the abstractness and the colors are equally brilliant

That does look quite effective. I'll have a go at that later.

Great tutorial man but i think that it would really lok much better if you backed it up with images of the different steps it takes to get the tut done.

Thanks anyways for that nice tut.

What did the image look like in the first place? You need to show the changes because I don't know what you've done with the picture, you could call me a little thick and blinded lol.
It's cool, simple and a fast technique so good!
