Fireworks draws red old brick wall special effects

This article introduces an example of using Fireworks to draw an old red brick wall.

1. Create a new document in Fireworks, 800 pixels wide and 310 pixels high. Of course, you can also define the image size yourself.

Draw a rectangle the same size as the file. The attributes are: Fill (gray) Fill category: (Linear gradient). Go to Point Effects → Noise → Add Noise. The attribute is (Quantity 15) and the effect is as follows:

2. Copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the rectangular selection effect just now → Eye candy 4000 filter → shake effect. The properties are (Move type: Browniar action, Bubble size: 307.69, Bend amount: 334.32, Twist: 49.)

After setting up, go to Effect → Bevel and Emboss → Inner Bevel. The properties are: (Bevel edge shape: flat. Width: 3. Transparency: 75%. Soften 9. Angle: 142. Button default: concave) The result is as follows:

3. After the background interior wall is completed, you can start making bricks.

① First, we draw a rectangle with a width of 73 and a height of 25. The color is (#CE3000) and the point effect → Eye candy 4000 → shaking effect. The properties are (Movement type: Browniar action. Bubble size: 25.24. Bend amount: 4.66. Twist: 18)

② In this way, the outline of the brick will appear, and then add some texture points to it → noise points → add noise points. Attributes: (Number of miscellaneous points: 10)

③ Then go to Point Effect → Bevel and Emboss → Inner Bevel. The properties are: (Bevel Edge Shape: Flat. Width: 2. Transparency: 100%. Soften 3. Angle: 136. Button Default: Raised)

④ Next, copy this brick and change the properties of the copied brick (change the fill: None. The stroke is gray (#666666) and the size is 5. Then remove the new noise points.) In this way, the shape of the brick effect comes out.

⑤Continue to optimize the texture. Continue to copy and paste a brick to remove all other effects except the shaking effect. Fill it with: (#FF6600) point effect→Alien skin splat LE→Edqes properties as shown in the figure, so that the effect of the bricks comes out.

Tip: You can also give the bricks a gradient effect to make the texture better. The gradient can be linear but the transparency must be well controlled.

4. That’s it for making bricks. You can also use the method just made to make several different bricks. In terms of shape, just adjust the attributes in the shake. Then keep copying and pasting, and finally combine all the bricks (CTRL+G).

5. After arranging the bricks into the shape of a wall, we draw a rectangle the same size as the wall and fill it with a linear gradient. The effect is (new noise points: quantity 30). Select the combined brick points and modify → Mask → Combine to Mask plate. The effect obtained is as shown in the figure:

6. Now that the entire wall effect is completed, everyone can use their graffiti talents to play graffiti on it.
