Ok, so you like those little buttons that take you to other ppl's site? and you want one of your own now... ok, i'll help u on this one.
All affiliate buttons are 88x31 pixels in size. This is so they can load quick and look great. 1. So, open PS and ctrl+n, enter 88 pixels for the width and 31 pixels for the height. It should look like this --  2. Ok now, just make a cool background.. or u can use pixel art, i find this best on affiliate buttons. Once you get your background done, we'll move on.. i got this--  3. now, do you want the sliding doors? if so simple make a new layer(ctrl+shift+n) and make a gradient across the screen, the direction of the gradient depends on which way your door is going to split, if you want it to split vertically(open left and right) gradient like this--  If you want it to open horizontally(up and down) gradient like this--  or you can do both, but make sure they are on separate layers. 4. Now for the split lines in the door we are gonna use the brush tool.. 5. Select the brush tool and set it to the normal 1 px brush, but type in 2 where it says 1 px. like this--  6. On the horizontal gradient layer make a line like this, or however you want making sure to hold down shift while making it.--  7. On the vertical gradient layer make a line like this or however you want, again, hold shift the whole time.--  8. Now on the background layer, you can add some text and other stuff, whatever you want to spice it up, i did this--  9. Select the polygonal lasso tool and cut the doors in half at the center of the the black lines. 10. Now convert to imageready(cntrl+shift+m) 11. Ok, make a new frame. 12. in the new frame move the upper part of the horizontal door all the way up out of the picture, and the bottom part all the way down. 13. now press the tween button and use these settings--  14. Now do the same for the vertical split. 15. Now unless you have some additional animation your done, Make sure to put like a 0.5 or 1.0 delay on the last frame of animation. 16. I had additional animation and i got this--  Enjoi the tut. if you have any questions ask them here or send me a PM |
