Create a Rough Ticket Icon

Quick reference

• 00:00 We're gonna rough it up a little bit: we're gonna give it some
• 00:03 style!
• 00:04 The first step to creating this ticket is to create the base shape, which is the
• 00:07 rectangle
• 00:08 In your tools bar on the left grab the standard Rectangle Tool.
• 00:12 Now up top on your options bar let's go ahead and set the color now so we won't
• 00:16 have to worry about later on.
• 00:18 A slightly de-saturated red should work quite well.
• 00:21 I'm gonna use B3 76 77 for the value. This color may not look that great but
• 00:28 it'll make sense later on. Now drag out the rectangle as
• 00:32 large as you want the ticket to be.
• 00:33 Once the rectangle been created, we need to punch out the notches on the side.
• 00:37 Because we're dealing with a vector shape we can easily subtracted from the
• 00:41 rectangle.
• 00:42 Grab your elipse Tool and then on the Options bar make sure that the subtract from
• 00:46 shape area button is active.
• 00:48 Once that's, set drag on a perfect circle by holding on your shift key
• 00:52 which covers a portion of the left edge of the ticket. The side of the notch is
• 00:56 completely up to you.
• 00:58 When the first circle is cut out to make things simple
• 01:01 we can duplicate using the path selection tool.
• 01:05 This tool can be found on the tools bar on the left.
• 01:06 With the tool selected, click on the ticket and then click on the newly
• 01:10 created circle.
• 01:11 Now just like you would duplicate a shape, hold on your alt or option key,
• 01:15 as well as your shift key, and then drag. Go ahead and do this until you're happy
• 01:20 with the amount of notches on the left side of the ticket.
• 01:23 You also want to add one on each corner as well: one on the top corner
• 01:27 and then one on the bottom. Good: the left side is complete.
• 01:31 Now Simply repeat the process on the right side.
• 01:34 Let's make it easy: with your shift key held down click on all the circles are
• 01:38 you just created.
• 01:39 It will temporarily group them together allowing us to hold down or alt or option
• 01:43 key again.
• 01:44 And then duplicate them over to the right side. Now depending on how the
• 01:48 corner circles were placed,
• 01:49 you may need to reposition the top and bottom circles. Simply click off of the
• 01:54 circles
• 01:54 and then select the top and bottom by using a shift key and then move them
• 01:58 into place.
• 01:59 Now have the shape for the ticket complete. Let's add some layer styles to give it
• 02:03 well some style. lLt's start with a pattern overlay to add a texture to our
• 02:07 ticket.
• 02:07 From the pattern picker, click on the arrow at the top right corner and then
• 02:11 select gray scale patterns to load them in.
• 02:14 If you get a popup window press append to add them to the bottom of the list.
• 02:18 When the new patterns are loaded find and select
• 02:21 the kraft paper pattern. It's a nice neutral grey pattern
• 02:24 And once that patterns been selected, change the blend mode to Color Burn
• 02:29 in order to blend it with that red color that we chose earlier.
• 02:33 Now lets add an inner glow to add a slight edge to our ticket.
• 02:37 start by changing the blend mode to soft light,
• 02:38 the opacity to 45 percent, and the color to appear white.
• 02:42 Now down below set the size at six and in the range at 10.
• 02:46 Finally let's add a drop shadow to pull the ticket away
• 02:51 from the backdrop.
• 02:52 Decrease the opacity to 30 percent, set the angle at 90 degrees,
• 02:58 and the distance and size at five. Looking much better.
• 03:03 Let's move on an and add an
• 03:04 indented outline to the inside of the ticket. Grab your rounded rectangle tool from
• 03:09 the Tools bar
• 03:10 and then set the corner radius on the Options bar to 5 pixels.
• 03:13 Before you create the shape make sure that the create new Shape Layer
• 03:18 option is selected on the Options bar so we don't add or subtract anything by
• 03:22 mistake.
• 03:22 Now drag out the shape in the middle of your ticket: as you drag you can hold
• 03:26 the spacebar to move the shape around before you place it.
• 03:29 Once its in place we want to punch a hole in the center of the shape
• 03:33 leaving only an outline. Back in your options bar at the top
• 03:37 select the subtract button again and then drag out and identical but smaller
• 03:42 shape on top of the one you just created.
• 03:44 When you release your mount you should be left with a nice simple outline.
• 03:47 Now let's add some layer styles to give it that indented look.
• 03:51 The first thing you want to do is decreased the Fill opacity to 0 percent.
• 03:56 This will allow us to see through the outline keeping the layer styles intact.
• 04:01 Now let's add an inner shadow, set the blend mode
• 04:04 to Linier Burn with an opacity of 10 percent.
• 04:08 Set the angle at 90 degrees and the distance and size both at 2.
• 04:13 Finally lets add a drop shot at a highly at the bottom of the indent.
• 04:17 Because we're looking for a highlight rather than a shadow change the blend
• 04:21 mode to soft light and the color to white.
• 04:22 You may also want to turn down the opacity to around 40
• 04:27 percent to blend it in a little bit.
• 04:30 Now make sure the angles at 90 degrees the distance at 2
• 04:34 and the size at 1. Now that these layer styles are complete,
• 04:37 let's throw in some text. White text with
• 04:42 the blend mode set to soft light should do the trick.
• 04:44 At this point, the clean version of this ticket is complete if you're happy with
• 04:47 the clean ticket it you can skip these next few steps.
• 04:50 But we're going to rough it up a little bit. Selecting the main ticket once again
• 04:54 go ahead and add a layer mask your layer.
• 04:57 Once a layer mask has been added head up to the filter menu,
• 05:00 down to brush strokes, and then choose sprayed strokes.
• 05:05 When the filter pops up, I found that 20, 5
• 05:08 and in Vertical works quite well, but experiment with the different values to
• 05:12 get the result you are looking for.
• 05:13 When you apply the filter, because was applied to the layer mask, its gonna
• 05:17 create a nice rough edge to your ticket.
• 05:18 The last step, which again is optional, would be to add some grunge
• 05:22 to your design.
• 05:24 Creating a new layer above all your current layers and using a black
• 05:27 grunge brush with you can download from the Internet there's thousands of them.
• 05:30 Add a design on top of your ticket If it overflows
• 05:33 outside the ticket, turn your ticket into a selection and then
• 05:37 add a layer mask your grunge laye. Set the blend mode to soft light
• 05:41 with an opacity of sixty percent and that will complete your design.
