End Result
Step 1
Make a new document any size you like. Open up your stock image into photoshop. Resize if needed.
Step 2
Then add a hue and saturation layer. (layer > new adjustment layer > hue + satuaration) Use the settings below or your own depending on the stock.
Step 3
Make a little circle using the Elipse tool, hold down shift to make them perfectly round. Then take the line tool and draw lines from each circle.
Merge them all together. Use different colours for the best effect.
Step 4
Add some text. Use a funky font, then on a new layer create some colourful shapes inside it.
Add a drop shadow for the best effect.
Step 5
Open up a vector pattern and place over the top. Lower the opacity if needed.
Step 6
Ok now create a pentagon using the custon shape tool. On a new layer place a slatter inside the pentagon. Then open a crumpled paper stock image and put over the pentagon as a clipping mask, set it to overlay.
Add a drop shadow to the pentagon as well.
