how do you outline the font. E.G Andrew Flintoff with the white highlight behind it?

OK, in this tutorial I shall show you how to make 3 different types of backgrounds. Each one with a futuristic effect. Hopefully by the end of this you'll be able to produce something like this, (sorry about the Herschelle Gibbs thing hasun - I couldn't think of anything else):
The first one I shall show you is the Radial Background.
1. Start with your document with the size being 638x512 and fill the background in black
2. Start squiggling around with a white brush until you are happy with it - like so:
3. Go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur - make the settings exactly the same as these:
4. Repeat this 4-5 times by pressing Ctrl+F
5. Go to Filters -> Sketch -> Chrome - make the settings exactly the same as these:
6. Go to Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur - make the settings exactly the same as these:
7. Create a new layer and change its style to Color, then choose whatever colour you want to go on top of it and you should have a finished result like this:
I shall post some more background tutorials later on tonight - and how to make it look even MORE effective

I'll get to that later on - right now on to the next step of the tutorial. This part is very hard and definetly requires Photoshop. The results can be stunning though.
1. We have our original background as shown in Tutorial one - now create a new layer and go to Gradient.
2. Create your Gradient and set the style to Difference like so - now heres the fun part!
3. Use all the different Gradients except Angle and just randomly create gradients - don't worry about the colour we can fix that later. Repeat it many times and you should have something like this:
4. Looking pretty sweet at the moment - but we can make it look even better. Duplicate the Layer you have been using and flip the duplicated layer horizontally like so:
5. Now change the layer style to 'Lighten', and it should look pretty sweet now. Press Ctrl+E to merge the two layers together
6. Now repeat steps 4 & 5 except this time flip the layer vertically and you should end up with something like this:
7. Create a new layer and change it's style to Color. Fill it with any colour you want to.
8. Finally change the transparency of the 'Gradient Layer' so you can still see the original background you made. It should now look a little like this:
Right, later on tonight I shall post of Tutorial 3 - Finishing things off. Different styles and such-forth.

OK, still no feedback whatsoever but I would like some after this - here are the final stages of the tutorial
Right there are two styles you can make:
Style 1:
Style 2:
Right so by now we should have our original background which was made in tutorials 1 & 2. So first of all I shall do Style 1
1. First of all you need two pictures of the player you have chosen - one of the whole body and one of the upper body like these two:
2. Now we have the pictures remove the background from them and on the upper body one make sure there are NO STRAIGHT EDGES - use the smudge tool if there are any, you should now have two pictures like this:
3. Right now you should insert the two pictures into the picture as two seperate layers - but you have to place them specially. Put the upper body image behind the Color layer, and the whole body image infront of the Color layer, like so:
4. OK now change the Opacity of the Upper Body Image to 88%, and the Whole Body Image to 75%. We are now done with the pictures and it should look a little like this:
5. The text I used for this is Xirod and you can get it from here
Right now type your text - in my case Sachin Tendulkar and place it wherever you want. Preferably in a space. Play around with the text and see what you come up with - then you should hopefully have a finished product similar to above.
As you can see Style 2 looks better than Style 1 - but it is harder to make, I shall show you how though
1. Go to your Gradient Layer, (not the color layer), and make a Circle - try to make it as perfect as possible. Keep the Circle highlighted
2. Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast and fiddle around with it until you've got a colour you're happy with it - it should look a little like this:
3. Keep the Circle highlighted and create a new layer and change it's style to Color. Go to Edit -> Stroke, choose a Darker Colour than your original one and make sure its on the outside.
4. Bevel the layer using the default settings and it should look quite effective
5. Get a Whole Body picture and insert it into the circle as the top layer, make sure it fits in the circle and there is no need to change the Opacity.
6. Now just do the text, once again I used Xirod and played around with it using Photoshop to give it a futuristic look. Hopefully by the end of it, it should look like the above.
Right the background tutorial is complete - hopefully I will be seeing some stunning backgrounds in the next couple of days!
