When I first looked at this tutorial, I thought it would be a lot harder than it actually was. I began by filling the background in with a lime green color and then used a radial shape filled with a similar color and another radial shape on top of that. Then on a new layer, I used the brush tool to create a series of circles with different sizes in a purple color, with the opacity at 60%. I made some green circles on top of that, and bright purple circles on top of that. Next, I merged all of those layers together and did a radial blur. I changed the blending mode of this layer to difference and merged it with the background layer and adjusted the hue. Then I used the quick mask tool and filled the whole thing in and erased from the middle and outwards using a soft brush with scattering. Then I used a gaussian blur, and I think I messed up something in this step because my circles came out too blurry compared the the final image in the tutorial. Next, I added the can image, changed the hue to make it blue and used the burn tool to darken the bottom of the can. I used quick mask mode again to erase the bottom of the can, then went to layer- layer mask- hide selection which made the can blend into the circles. On a new layer, I used filter- pixelate- mezzotint, and then used a radial blur. The tutorial said to set the mode to color burn, but it made mine super dark so I lowered the opacity. Then I just added some text in the color with a gradient overlay and an outer glow. My final image was quite dark, so I adjusted the color to make it much brighter and more blue-toned. I like how this turned out, I just don't know why the circles came out so blurry.
