As always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating:
Create a new document (600X700px).
Create a new layer called ‘stars’ and fill your entire canvas with black:
Now go to filter>noise>add noise, and add 10% amount.
Go to image>adjustments>brightness/contrast and reduce your brightness to -40 and increase your contrast to +50. This should leave you with a stars background effect.
Using a large, soft paintbrush draw out a cross, consisting of four lines. Each line should be a different very bright color:
Go to filter>blur>motion blur. Apply a motion blur strength: 600, angle: 25 degrees.
Then change this layer’s blend mode to ‘hard light’ and reduce it’s opacity to 40%.
Use your radial gradient tool to create a white to transparent gradient in the center of your canvas. Create this gradient on a new layer called ‘light spot’.
Then change this layer’s blend mode to ‘color dodge’ and reduce it’s opacity to 50%:
Paste a picture of an Iphone into the center of your document.
You can download the .psd for the Iphone image here: http://joelatlas.deviantart.com/art/iphone-3g-PSD-HD-94206586
Apply an outer glow blending option: mode: color dodge, opacity: 100%, size: 20.
Now create a layer beneath your Iphone layer called ‘wavy lines’. Download the brush set: Abstract Lines Vol 1. Apply many white brush strokes around the edges of your Iphone. Then change your layer mode to ‘color dodge’ and reduce your layer opacity to 30%.
Now download this awesome moon brush set:
Make your brush color white, and apply several moons to your piece, each on a different layer. Make sure that your layers are below your Iphone layer, but above your ‘wavy lines’ layer.
Now reduce the opacity of your moon layers. Go to layer>add layer mask>reveal all. On each moon layer add a layer mask, and then drag a black to transparent gradient. This should fade away part of each moon.
Add some text to the bottom center of your document. And apply the outer glow settings shown below:
Add an Iphone icon and some very small text to the top right of your advert.
Go to layer>new adjustment layer, and apply a new top layer adjustment layer with a gradient map ranging from 004D79 to 00E4FF to 004D79. Reduce this layer’s opacity to 10%. This should give a subtle blue tint to your advert.
I really hope that you enjoyed this tutorial and would love to hear your feedback!

good… tutorial…
I’m following your steps but when i’m supposed to set the gradient to color dodge, nothing happens.
Will: Did you create the radial gradient on it’s own layer? Also does it just stay looking like a white light spot for you?
Nice tutorial. Btw, there are some issue with blending modes. Color dodge not always fits quite right, and I think because of noise filter at space layer.
For everybody: just keep trying and found a blend, that looks good.
Wonderful and good
Thank you
Awesome tutorial. Thanks!
I did it and i’m very happy with the result, have alook at it and some of my other stuff http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=45280&id=1065186104&l=f18c59c1be

Dal: What kinds of issues are you having with color dodge? It seems to work fine for me.
Mitchell: I really like your result! Nice work
Looks good with Zune too
Great and very easy to follow tutorial. The end result looks really good and there are some nice techniques used to achieve the finished image. Can’t wait to try this out for myself. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This Tutorial is valuable Lesson. I like it !! Thanx for u !!!
I’ve tried this on multiple versions of Adobe, as well as multiple computer. Every time I get to the radial gradient step, and change to color dodge. All it looks like is an extremely crappy and pixelated white blob in the middle with the colors over it. It looks like it has a lot of noise going on. What is my problem?
