first the designer has found a photo of a road on the internet and placed it in to photoshop. Next the designer has got a photo of a person in the correct position for the effect being created. now the designer cuts out the person using the pen tool, this is done by outlining the person, then go to layer, layer mask and then reveal layer this has nowremoved the background from the photo of the person. in order for the guy to fit in with the back ground the designer has made the shadow setting on the person darker, this is done by going to image, adjustments , curves. next is to create the shadow of the person, this is done by holding the control button and clicking the thumbnail on the layer in the layer window, then a new layer is added this is filled black. Now the designer goes to edit>transform>distort, the verticals are move to create the shadow in perspective this makes the sun looklike it is shining for the top left of the image. the shadow is then set with a guasien blur making it look more softer. the designer has moved on to created a circle around the person using the elipse tool, the desinger then adjust the bottom of the circle to make it look like it intersects with the road. next the designer adds a new layer then goes to filter>render>clouds to add a cloud effect this will make up the smoke look of the bubble being created around the person . the designer then creates a mask on the clouds layer, this adds the clouds render to the circle previously drawn making the circle look smokey. next the designer makes the circle look more like a spherical shape by using the liquify tool then changing the setting to bloat, then the designer sets the blending mode to soft light this makes the sphere allowing the veiwer to see the person. next the designer has created a new layer and repeated the last step, then the step is repeated again but this time the blending mode is set to colour dodge this makes the sphere moke smokey looking. next the designer reveals the mask by going to layer>layer mask>reveal all, the designer then selects the brush tool and set the colour to black this is then used at the bottom of the sphere to erase some of it making the intersection less subtle and obvious. next the designer makes the bubble sharper by using the sharpen filter. then the designer makes a new layer fills this with a white fill and crates a mask this is so that an out glow can be added to the spere. the designer has added a yellow to white linear gradient to show the reflection of light on the sphere. next the designer creates a mask and starts to mask out the glow around the outline of the sphere. next the designer creates the bottom on the sphere, this is done with the eliptical marquee tool, then filled black and the opacity changed to 40% this gives the elipse a transluscent look. the designer then reveal the mask and adds a gradient to the elipse making it look ighter one side thsn the other. the desiger then moves on to add a shadow for the sphere by applying the mask and dsitorting a duplicated layer in the same way the persons shadow was created. the designer then creates a new layer above the road photo and add another cloud render using the cloud filter, next the ripple at the bottom of the sphere needs to be created this is done by going to filter>distort>zigzag. the settings used were 100 for the amount and 5 for the ridges. next the layer is distorted eaxctly the same as the spere and person shadow and the blending mode is set to overlay to give a translucent look. next the designer creates another shadow by selecting the elipse on the outside of the sphere, filling it and changing the opacity. next the designer adds a truck to the image to make it look like the person is deflecting it, this is done by placeing it on a new layer using the laso masking tool scaling it down to make it look like it is in the distance and position it the truck image correctly.
