Production process:
Step 1: Open the background material to be processed in Photoshop, cut and resize it.

Step 5: Duplicate the character layer, remove color, and use hard light mode.
Step 6: Adjust the layer, color balance, -14, +17, +32.
Step 7: Foreground color 2B2C51, background color white, gradient mapping.
Step 8: Change the gradient layer mode to Soft Light and opacity to 70%.
Step 9: Drag the highlights in, set the mode to Screen, and set the opacity to 75%.
Step 10: Type words (to express your feelings), apply brushes, and make borders.
Attachment: In order to match this successful sign, we also need to add a non-mainstream picture frame with a melancholic color. I originally wanted to list it as a separate tutorial, but later merged it together so that everyone can see it at once.
The process of making non-mainstream signed picture borders is as follows:
Step 1: Use the Rounded Rectangle Tool to draw a large path with a radius of 40 pixels and convert it into a selection.
Step 2: Hold down SHIRT and use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to pull out a rectangle diagonally.
Step 3: Stroke 3 pixels of white in the center and 1 pixel of blue in the center.
