The image at the very top is the original image and the second image is the curl afflicted image while the bottom image is the tape afflicted image. To get the curl effect you must use the rectangular marquee tool on the area you want to curl. Next use the gradient tool and use it diagonally on the rectangle you made. Afterwards go to transform then warp and drag the corner to make a curl effect. Finally add a drop shadow effect of a distance of 5 and size of 7 and spread of 0. To get the tape effect make a rectangle with the rectangular marquee tool. Then fill in the rectangle with the color D3A537 then select the brush tool. Select the color DCB965 and one of the new brushes you were supposed to download from the tutorial then simply click on the band-aid to give it an old tape effect. Then change the master diameter to 42 px and keep clicking on the ends of the tapes to give it an old tape effect then just copy the tape and make a new layer. Then carefully place the tape on the edges of the picture to make it look like it was taped and then add a drop shadow effect and change the distance to 1 the spread to 1 and size to 5 and the copy the layer style that was done on the tape and then paste it to the other tape layer. Lastly change the canvas size to width 500 and height to 370(pixels of course) That is how you make a tape and curl effect.
All the images above except for the last one are the images I used to create my master piece cologne ad. My idea behind this was that if I used animals it would reflect on the word "spirit" and myself with a sombrero would reflect on the word "life." Has for the black guy, he was simply there to create humor, because he is in a bamboo forest in China and you would not expect black men to be in China.
To add a coloring effect to your boring life you must follow my wise steps to fulfill your life. Go to image>Adjustments>Desaturate, because I said so.

The image on the top of the screen is the high pass added effect image. Begin by duplicating the background layer and change the blending mode of the duplicate to overlay. After that add a high pass and then change the blending mode layer of the duplicate to soft light or hard light, and if you feel the saturation is too much just change the opacity to 80%.
To get the sepia color image you must follow these steps. Step 1: If your image is in color, go to image > adjustments > desaturate and then skip to step 3.

The image on the top is the new and modified image and the image on the bottom is the original image. Start with the elliptical marquee tool and draw an ellipse or circle on the area you want to focus on. then invert the selection and change the brightness so anything on the outside of the shape will turn darker. Then to darken it farther make a copy of the original layer and add a layer mask in which you will draw in with the brush tool (make sure you are using black as the foreground color.) Afterwards use the gradient tool and hit the circle selection to make a circle and change the layer mode to soft light or overlay and lastly change the opacity to 50%. Finally, if you really desire to add attraction to the center of the image or circle use the burn and dodge tools.
