Channel art is a popular style of graphic design that uses a limited color palette and simple shapes to create an eye-catching image. If you’re new to Photoshop, channel art can be a fun way to experiment with different effects and techniques. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create channel art using Photoshop’s basic tools. To start, open your image in Photoshop and select the Rectangular Marquee tool (M). Drag the cursor around the edge of your image to define the shape of your channel. Be sure to leave enough room at the top and bottom so that you can add your artwork later. Next, choose a color for your channel border and fill the selection with that color using the Paint Bucket tool (G). You can also use the Gradient Tool (G) to create a more gradual transition between colors. To finish off your channel art, add some simple shapes using the Ellipse tool (L). Be sure to use contrasting colors for each shape so they stand out against your background. You can also add text or other graphics using the Text Tool (T) or Image Tools panel. ..
