In this tutorial, we will convert an ordinary picture of a giraffe into a wallpaper of a giraffe fading away into musical notes. This design was used in my entry to the AudioJungle Wallpaper Competition and managed to place in the top twenty, which made me think that some people on PSDTUTS might want to know how I made. So let’’s get into it!
Open up the picture of the giraffe in Photoshop and grab the Pen Tool (P). Make sure that Paths is selected, as we are going to cut out the giraffe using the Pen Tool, so we can get the best edge available. Zoom in pretty close to the image so you can get all the fine elements of the giraffe (I zoomed into about 300x to get a good edge).
Now its just a process of going around the giraffe ignoring shadows and the tail. Just keep going right the way around until you end up back at the start.
