Required for this tutorial:
PSP 7
Any font you like, I used "Times New Romance" - Download Here
A swinging tube - Download bunny tube Here. It is resized and set to the first angle required.

Lets get started :-)

1. Open a new transparent image, 300 x 300
Add a new raster layer, name it B1
Add another new raster layer, name it N1
Now save this image in PSP format and name it.
Its a good idea to save regularly so I will just type save from now on to remind you to save your work.


2. Flood fill layer one with white and go to your layer palette and null this layer.

3. On you layer palette, make your N1 layer active and on your color palette set your foreground color to be HTML #B26A7B and background color to be HTML #CFA8AD.  Set your text tool box to width 2.



4.  Apply your name to the N1 layer and center it towards the top of your image. Save.



5.  Once your name is in place, go to your layer palette and duplicate N1 layer seven times. Rename these duplicated layers in order so when you are finished, layers will be N1 to N8. Now null layers N2 to N8 for now. Then make your B1 layer active. Save.



6. Open your bunny swinging tube, which has been resized and first angle is set.  Go to edit>copy to put your tube on your clipboard and then close this tube.

7.  With your B1 layer active, go to edit>paste as new selection and your bunny tube will show on this layer.  With your mover tool, move the tube so that the left swing rope is under your name and positioned to the middle of your name. (the bunnies will be close to the right edge of your image).  Deselect and save.



8.  Now that bunny tube is in position, go to your layer palette and duplicate B1 layer four times. Rename these duplicate layers in order so you have B1 to B5. Null layers B3 to B5. Save.



9.  Layer B1 is the end swing angle so this layer needs no adjustment, so make your B2 layer active. Go to image>rotate and the settings are as follows, rotate direction right, degrees free 20, rotate all layers unchecked and click okay. Now you will see this layers tube change angle to the bunny on the layer below it.  Use your mover tool to move this rotated tube slightly to the left. Visually align the left swing rope to B1's left swing rope so that the top point of the B2's swing rope would sit on B1's swing line. Now null layer B1 and make layer B3 active. Save.



10.  With  layer B3 active, go to image>rotate and the settings are as follows, rotate direction right, degrees free 40, rotate all layers unchecked and click okay. Now you will see this layers tube change angle to the bunny on the layer below it.  Use your mover tool to move this rotated tube slightly to the left. Visually align the left swing rope to B2's left swing rope so that the top point of the B3's swing rope would sit on B2's swing line. Now null layer B2 and make layer B4 active. Save.

11.  With  layer B4 active, go to image>rotate and the settings are as follows, rotate direction right, degrees free 60, rotate all layers unchecked and click okay. Now you will see this layers tube change angle to the bunny on the layer below it.  Use your mover tool to move this rotated tube slightly to the left. Visually align the left swing rope to B3's left swing rope so that the top point of the B4's swing rope would sit on B3's swing line. Now null layer B3 and make layer B5 active. Save.

12.  With  layer B5 active, go to image>rotate and the settings are as follows, rotate direction right, degrees free 80, rotate all layers unchecked and click okay. Now you will see this layers tube change angle to the bunny on the layer below it.  Use your mover tool to move this rotated tube slightly to the left. Visually align the left swing rope to B3's left swing rope so that the top point of the B4's swing rope would sit on B3's swing line.  You may have to move the tube to have the lines sit under the name  layer however, when you do this the top of the left swing line may appear on top side of font. (see where I have circled this below)  If this happens, just use your erase tool and get rid of that little piece.)  When you are happy with the placement of the tube, null layer B4 and B5.  Save.



13.  If you unnull all your B layers, this is what you now should have.  Once you have checked this, null all the layers.



14.  On your layer palette, select layer B2 (which will unnull it) and duplicate this layer and call it B8, then null both these layers.
