Tilted Graphic Tutorial

So recently I've been playing around with borders or something, and I guess I stumbled upon something cool.

Anna asked me how I've been making my graphics appear tilted, so here's a tutorial on just how to achieve this effect! (Note: This is, by no means, the only way. I'm sure you can also incorporate the transparent graphic tutorial to help you do this so it appears tilted on ANY background, but mine only works on white backgrounds).

SPOILER!!: Tilted Graphic Tutorial Program Used: Photoshop CS4 Difficulty: Easy Translatable: Probably 1. Make your graphic however you want it to look. Right now, mine looks like this: 2. Create a new layer ON TOP of everything. This is what my layers pallet looks like: 3. Change your color to white and select the line tool. In this screen cap, the line tool has been selected. If you do not have the line tool where it should be, the tool is actually a shape tool, that I have set to draw lines instead of rectangles or ellipses or whatever. If this is the case, change it so it draws lines. Change the thickness of the line to whatever you want it to be in the "weight" option at the top of the screen. I have mine set to 10 px. 4. On your new layer, draw a line. You do this by clicking in one spot and dragging your mouse to determine the length and angle of the line. This is the tricky part. In order to make your graphic appear tilted, you need to make sure that your line is thicker at one end of the graphic. This is what it should look like when you have one line drawn: 5. Continue this process all the way around, making sure to keep the thicker part of the line at the same end of each line. Eventually, your graphic will look like this, and you're done!
