This tutorial is written as if you have a general knowledge on how to use the program.

***What you'll need***
Program of Choice.
I am using Photoshop CS5

But, if you know your tools you can use any program of choice

Tube of choice.
I am using the artwork of Isobel Von Finklestein

You must purchase a license to use her tubes and can do so HERE

Addittional Filters

MuRa's Meister – Copies

~*~*~ Let's Get Started~*~*~

Start a new canvas

600px by 250px

Add your tube to your canvas

Filter → MuRa's Meister → Copies

Wallpaper (rotate)

The rest at default

Filter → Blur → Radial Blur

100, Spin, Good

Move the center dot to about the center of your canvas

Filter → Sharpen → Sharpen Edges

Repeat

Add your tube to your canvas

Resize and Reposition in the center to your liking

Duplicate

Filter → Blur → Gaussian Blur, 3.0 px

Change the blend mode to overlay

Add a drop shadow to the original one

Add your tube below these two layers once more

Have the heart sort of be the focus on the left side

Once you have it how you want it

Duplicate, Flip horizontally and move to the right side of the banner

Merge those two layers together

Change the blend mode to luminosity, lower the opacity to 40%

Duplicate 3 times so you have a total of 4 layers

Hide your main tube so you can see these layers better

Using your lasso tool

Select around the heart and hands on both sides

On the second heart beat layer (the first is going to remain as is :) )

Filter → Distort → Pinch

Amount 9

On the third, repeat this filter

Amount 7

On the fourth layer, repeat once more

Amount 5

Now, Hide all of them but your very first layer, we'll come back to the animation in a bit.

Unhide your two main focus tube layers.

Add some wording that you'd like in white, change the blend mode to soft light

Use your rectangle marquee tool to select the whole canvas

Add two new layers at the top

On the bottom of the two new layers

Edit → Stroke

Center, 10px and black

On the top

Edit → Stroke

Center, 6px, a color that comes from your tube

Deselect

Add noise to the top one

Change blend mode of the bottom to overlay

Add your name

****Most Important****

Add your copy right information

If you're happy with your result save to your liking and you're done!

Now onto the animation

You're going to open your animation window

The first layer set your delay to 1 sec (that's the one we didn't change at all)

On the second, third and fourth layer the delay is .1 sec

You're going to just have each layer visible for each animation frame

Press play and it should look like a heart beat :)

If you're having with it save as a .gif and you're done!

If you want to make an avi with it

Merge all your layers but the name, copyright and border layrs

Create a clipping mask that's 175px by 200px in size

Add it to another canvas

Add your initial, copyright and borders as we did before

Save to your liking and you're done!
