Following the tutorial given and using skills previously learnt i began by drawing a simple rectangle . Then i right clicked on the pen tool and selected 'Add Anchor' , this was then added to the middle of the rectangles side. Holding down shift , i then moved my arrow inwards and repeated this on the other side of the rectangle afterwards.
Then holding down shift again , i created a square using the rectangle shape option. Next i chose the 'direct selection tool' and selected the bottom right corner of the square. Which lead on to me pressing 'backspace' or 'delete' to create a triangle shape.Double clicking on the layer with the triangle , it should come up with a box. I had to double click on the gradient overlay option , setting the angle to -90 degrees and the scale to 150.Then i had to left click on the triangle and manually change the gradient of the shape . Repeating this for the other side ( create another layer for the second triangle) . Flip the original triangle horizontally by going on edit - transform and then flip horizontal options.
Next i added a text box over the banner and typed in the word 'Freaky'.Then i needed to hold down shift and select all the layers i had , then going on to click the link button at the bottom of that section.This links all of the shapes and text together.
The next step was to add another layer underneath the previous ones , using the paint bucket i filled the page in with a colour and once that was done i double clicked on that new layer and selected gradient overlay once again.I double clicked in the gradient and chose the type of gradient i wanted for my background.I then went to 'adjustments' above the layers and selected 'posterize' .
Then i had to adjust the slider to create a background for my image.
Finally, my last job was to use previously learnt Photoshop skills to create a 'freaky' or 'unique' image .This then completed the task.
