Red Skull Design.

Step 1:

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 1200×900 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a #DC0000 color shade. On your tools menu set the foreground color to #E49292 and background to #DC0000 color shades. Then grab the Gradient Tool with a radial gradient and add a gradient design on your canvas.

Step 2:

In a new layer draw a large rectangle with #DC0000 color shade across your gradient design. Then set the layer’s opacity level to 14%.

Step 3:

Make a new layer set and name it ‘Skull and Bone’. Now select your Horizontal Type Tool, above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Wingdings, 300 pt, strong and white color shade. Then in a new text layer type ‘N’ on your canvas to get the skull and bone design.

Step 4:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadowblending option to your skull and bone design text layer. Now set the layer’s blending mode to Darken.

Result:

Step 5:

Duplicate the skull and bone text layer so the skull and bone design on your canvas is thicker.

Step 6:

Select your Horizontal Type Tool, above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Baskerville Old Face, regular, 90 pt, strong and white color shade. In a new text layer type out your name.

Step 7:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your name text layer. Now set the layer’s blending mode to Darken.

Result:

Step 8:

In a new text layer type your name in white again.

Step 9:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your second white text layer. Then set the layer’s blending mode to Darken.
