Futuristic Hologram Design.

Step 1:

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 650×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. Now create a new layer and draw a circle with #0097FF color shade and 185×185 px dimensions. Then cut the top half of the circle.

Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your half circle design from step one.



Result:

Step 3:

Select the Ellipse Tool, in a new layer draw a #0096FF color shade ellipse with 178 x 94 px dimensions.

Step 4:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Stroke blending option to your ellipse layer from step three.
Result:

Step 5:

In a new layer draw another ellipse with #007CD2 color shade on the center of the first ellipse design.

Step 6:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your second ellipse layer.

Result:

Step 7:

On the layers palette turn off the half circle layer from step one. Now add a marquee selection around the ellipse designs. Then go to Edit > Copy Merged and paste it into your canvas. A new layer with the ellipse design should appear on your canvas a long with the white background, get rid of the background by adding a marquee selection around the ellipse with the Magic Wand Tool and cut it.

Step 8:

Resize the second ellipse design by couple of inches and position it on the center. Then set the layer's blending mode to Hard Light.

Step 9:

Now duplicate the second ellipse design layer and go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur, apply the settings below. Then drag the motion design layer up so the motion blur is only going up.

Result:

Step 10:

If you want the hologram screen to be longer just duplicate the motion blur design layer from the last step and play with the opacity level settings.

Step 11:

Select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Webdings, 90 pt, smooth and #007CD2 color shade. In a new text layer type "!" which is a spider icon.

Step 12:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your text layer with the spider icon. Then set the layer's blending mode to Soft Light.

Result:

Step 13:

Now add small particles all over the hologram screen, to do this just duplicate your spider icon text layer and resize it through Edit > Transform > Scale. Add as many small particles as you wish but make each particle unique by playing with the layer's opacity level or the blending mode options.
Results:

that is pretty cool, is that thing part of a header ttuorial you posted or something? i remember seeing that orb thing somewhere recently.

All welll and good, but how do we get the image of Princess Leia in there saying, "Help me Obi Wan Brandoni, you're my only hope!"?

[ArnyVee]

LOL....had a good chuckle with that one Michele.

You can't forget about R2D2 though. He's gotta be there too.

[Soliloquy]

Adding R2D2 would make the tutorial even harder to follow, lol
