Photoshop Tutorial : How to Create an amazing Hexagon Background

Make a Hexagon Bokeh effect :

Hey Guys :

Previously I have showed a tutorial for making an amazing Bokeh effect 

I suggest you review it as it includes similar steps for this tutorial also.

So What we are going to make is a Hexagon Bokeh effect Inspired from Abduzeedo

well here is the final result :

Photoshop Steps :

   Step 1 : Creating the Hexagon Brush Engine 

   Step 2 : Inserting the Gradient 

   Step 3 : applying Hexagon Effect 

   Step 4 : Finalizing 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 :  Creating Hexagon Brush

  -Create a new Project then hide the main layer 

   -Then From shapes make a hexagon shape with 6 Sides ,any size you like

   -fill it with black then drop its opacity to 40-50 %

   -from blending options choose stroke then increase the size to 13 

   -Select the shape By CTRL+CLICK on the layer thumbnail and from Edit >> Define      

    Brush and name it .

    as below:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2 :  Generating Gradient 

  - Now for generating gradient make a new " Project " , you may delete the previous one at 

    step 1 

  - for the new layer choose gradient overlay from blending options 

  - choose dark colors " very dark colors " , then choose the angle suits you , here I     

      used 35 

  - Press OK then the result will be as follows :

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 :      Applying the Hexagon Effect 

 -Now for applying the Hexagon effect :

 - choose the brush then choose the brush we previously created

 - from brush " window " and apply these values to this brush .

 -Then create a new GROUP then make a new layer 

 -remember change the group blend mood to color dodge not the layer 

 - now with the brush make shapes like below just hold click and hover over the     

   screen .

 -Then add Gaussian  blur to the layer by  applying this filter

   Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur    >> Radius = 2

 -Then Duplicate that layer and apply the same Filter but increase the radius this time to

                                                                                                                                               5 px

 -Then select the whole Group and from Layer > Layer mask > reveal all .

  click on the mask Thumbnail on the group icon and add :

  Filter > Render > Clouds ..... make sure you grab the white&Black Color as foreground     and background color

 -then from  Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur .....Increase the radius to 20

  

 -Now on top of the gradient background layer make a new layer then add clouds like   

  before and blur it by Gaussian blur but with size 70-80 PX then change its blend mood to   color dodge .

Now we Finished the Step 3

  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4 :    Finalizing 

-on top of all layers make a new layer and change its blend mood to color dodge 

 then grab a big size brush with zero hardness and white color 

 then make star shapes like below in some spots 

 you can download the star brushes from here

-Now make a new layer on top of the previous and change its blend mood to color dodge 

 then with the gradient tool change its concepts to :  - gradient type = Noise 

                                                                                          - Check on : Restrict colors & Add                                                                                                        transparency 

                                                                                          - change to angle then grab it and 

                                                                                              make a gradient like below :

 -Then blur it with Gaussian blur with size 10 PX

  add with the same star brush a spot on the center of the gradient

 -Now  add another layer & keep its blend mood as normal then fill it with black color

  and with the eraser , erase on the middle of the image on the black layer 

  it will give us the vintage effect 

  you will notice the dark sides of the picture below :

  And here are the layers we have made yet :

 -Now for the final procedure :

 -select all layers then merge them

  after that duplicate the layer and duplicate it one more time 

          - for the top layer : reduce opacity to 30 % and mood to screen .

          - for the beneath layer : reduce opacity to 40 % and mood to color dodge 

Now I want you to Go up and check back the final result
