 Start off by creating a new canvas with the size 380 hy 75 on a Black BG  Find a stock that has 2 dark colors in them like below and then place this is on your canvas and then go to Filter-brush Strokes-Spatter and use the settings below then set this to Normal at 35%    Duplicate the last layer and set this also to Normal at 35%  Create a new layer then double click on the layer on the layer's pallete then use the blending options provided then once that is completed get out a splatter brush then brush on some parts of the big to create a sparkly feeling    On this next step we will add an Abstract c4d but before dragging It in we will use a 100px white Softbrush and brush on the sides of the c4d then we will drag the c4d in and set this to Screen   Once again before adding our c4d into the tag we will brush with a 100px white Softbrush on the sides then drag the c4d into the tag and then go to Filter-Brush Strokes-Spatter and use the settings below then set this to Screen at 20% opacity   Duplicate the last layer  Duplicate the last c4d then change the setting to Dissolve at 1% opacity and you should have some nice looking dots  Add your Render into the Tag   With your Elliptical Marquee tool use this to create a circle on the bottom right band side of the render and then stroke the circle with these settingSi then on a new layer go to Image/Apply Image and then press ctrl+alt+g to create a clipping mask and then move the tag around to fill in the circle.    With Clipping Mask  Repeat the last step except this time place the circle on the top left    With Clipping Mask  Image/Apply Image and then take out your Sharpen and use this to very lightly sharpen parts of the render and the circles we created from the earlier steps, (sharpened parts are circled).  Add a Photofilter and then set the opacity to 20%  After the Photofilter  Add another Photofilter and set the opacity to 75%  After the Photofilter  Image/Apply Image and then with a 9px Softbrush smudge or the left hand side towards the bottom right but very lightly  Add a Gradient Map and set it to Softlight at 20% opacity Gradient Map  After the Gradient Map  Image/Apply Image and then with a 9px Softbrush smudge on the left hand side towards thre bottom right hut very lightly then with your Dodge and Burn tool use these to brush over dark parts that need to be brighter and bright parts that need to be Darkened  Image/apply Image and then take out yonr blur tool and use this to blur the sides of the render to create a better focal point  Add your Text  On this next step you can do this 2 ways. 1st way: Find a nice yellow / lightning stock on google.com and erase what is not needed and place it on the bottom right of the render. 2nd way: Download a brush on Deviantart.com then choose yellow as your foreground color and brush on the bottom  Image/Apply Image and then with your Sharpen tool use this to brush over the bottom left aud right side of the render  Add a Photofilter and set the opacity to 30%  After the Photo filter  Image/Apply Image and then take out yonr Burn Tool and use this to brush [darken] the sides of the tag to create better depth and composition and yon are Done!
