Multicolor Abstract Background: The Card Frame Effect

With a mix of colors and an added distorted wave effect, a new abstract background materializes. 

This can be used as a trendy and fun card frame, flyer, or poster.

114 Floors Above: Illuminating Lights in Skyscrapers Effect

When you're 114 floors high above overlooking the city, everything looks small in comparison. 

As sunset morphs into twilight and then into darkness, the skyscrapers light up and have a translucent quality to them, creating a futuristic, somewhat dystopian society. 

I added in other effects, using colors from this shot and dropping in a distorted wave filter to enhance this even more. 

Purple + Green Aurora Background Gradient Effect

The glowing, astonishing colors of the northern lights. 

Cool and refreshing geo wave gradient effects.

Mix it all together and you get an epic graphic background. 

Swirls + Waves Collage: Blue-Green + Purple Effect

I continued distorting and experimenting with more effects in photoshop using some of my favorite colors and filters, creating a mix of neat swirls and graphic imagery. 

Blue-Green and Purple Glass: Waves + Swirls Effect

What happens when you mix your favorite colors up together into a gradient and play around with all the filters and distort everything? 

You get some fascinating effects. I was surprised by how this one turned out--it looks like an interesting mix of a swirly wave with sharp glass edges and clear, vivid textures all throughout.
