Fun With Spikes

Create a cool spiky graphic then apply a number of filters to create unique effects.


Create a new document with a black background approximately 800px x 800px then create a new blank layer (don't bother giving it a title as it will be merged very soon).

Step 02

Select the elipse marquee

 

Step 03

Select an area on the new layer using the elipse marquee tool

 

Step 04

Next, select the gradient tool

 

Step 05

Choose the spectrum gradient

 

Step 06

Select the radial gradient

 

Step 07

Apply it to the selected area, moving from the center to the outside edge to obtain a uniform pattern

 

Step 08

Deselect the area

Merge the layers (Ctrl + E)

 

Step 09

Choose Filter > Stylize > Extrude

 

Step 10

Choose your extrude settings, remembering to select 'Pyramids'

Set the depth so the spikes will fall within the working area and choose a size of spike - the smaller the number, the thinner the spike.

Once applied, you will have a picture something like this

Duplicate the layer and keep it for copying later
