The masthead

I used the
shape tool for a music note. Then I went to Edit > Transform > Warp and
changed its look. Then I changed the colour of the warped music note to a deep
purple colour so that it will match the purple in the background. Then I copied
the warped shape and flipped it. Then I placed the two shapes under my name in
the gradient.
Then I took
a butterfly from the shape tool. I took out some of the parts of the butterfly
and only kept one wing. Then I went to Edit > Transform > Warp and
changed the look of the wing. Then I copied and flipped the wing. I merged the
layers together and made more copies of the object. Then I put the copies
together and placed them in between the shape and my name.
I added a
gradient layer behind the others and in front of the background purple layer.
The gradient goes from black into a deep purple just before half way up the
image. My name is in the purple area and the shape is in the darker area. The
brush is in between the name and the shapes and in an area where it looks like
it is rising out of the gradient.
I adjusted
the look of the gradient and the shapes using the adjustment panel. I changed
the levels, contrast, curves, channels, and colour balance. I used all of these
to help make the gradient look better. Also the changes helped make the shape
look better on the background.
