3. Hold down the shift key whilst pulling out a circle that fits almost side to side of your canvas.
4. Objects - Align - center of canvas. DO NOT CONVERT TO RASTER.
5. Duplicate this vector layer. Close off duplicate for now.
6. Highlight original vector layer, convert to raster layer.
7. Again, duplicate this circle. On duplicate layer resize by 95%.
8. Merge down and rename this layer circle.
9. Grab magic wand, tolerance zero, feather zero. Select inside inner circle. Selections, modify, expand by 1.

11. Unhide duplicate vector layer. Resize by 62%.
12. Grab your text tool. Font - Impact - size 34. Size will depend on the text or name you are going to use so play around until you are happy. Background = colour of choice, foreground Nil
13. Type out text or name, once happy with it, click apply. Go to layer palette and click on the 'x' to the right side of the vector layer click on the eye to close off the elipse layer.
14. Convert this layer to raster and rename it NAME.
This is what I have:
Save this layer as psp or psd, and minimize it for now.

12. Set this layer to Luminance (L) and lower the opacity to around 60. Or whatever suits best. Just play around until you find something you like.
13. Highlight frame layer and open Stip layer. Merge strip layer down with frame.
14. Copy & Paste tube as a new layer, resize to fit. Rename layer TUBE. Move tube to the left, so its sits inside left area of frame, see my example:

20. Resize WA by 55%. EC5 gradient glow setting: AlienSkin EC 5 Impact using these settings: subtle white glow
21. I set my WA to Luminance (L). Add drop shadow to frame. I used v/h 2, 50, 5 black.
22. Resize tag to 500 pixels, if you like. Always resize your tag BEFORE adding copyright AND prior to animation. Add copyright and tagger info.
Save your tag, and set aside.
If you don't wish to animate, add your name, font of choice and save as png or jpg.
To Animate:
In PSP still...
1. Open circle with you name on it. Now you can change the colour of you name if you like.
2. Highlight name layer. There are two ways of doing this. You can select all, float, defloat, add a new layer and fill with colour of choice, then delete the original name layer. Or use the manual colour correction tool. Highlight name layer, open manual colour correction icon, select manual target colour, which is on the lower left side, then click on the top colour square and add the colour of the original name... then select the lower colour square and change it to the colour you wish your text to be. Ok.
3. Delete white bg layer. Highlight circle layer, press the letter r on your keyboard, or click on the crop tool, now click on layer opaque.
Resize, all layers checked, to 70%.
4. Highlight name layer and copy and paste as new layer into AS.
5. Click on Effects, Insert Image Effect. Effect - Rotate with these settings:
6. Click on the first frame and delete, Whilst still on first frame, Edit, select all. In toolbar, click propagate paste button.
7. Back in PSP. Close out name layer. Copy merged, back into AS and paste as a new layer.
8. On this new image. Click on duplicate layer icon in your toolbar, until you have 10 frames, Click back on first frame, edit select all.
9. Highlight name image that you added the rotate to. Make sure you have all frames selected. Click and hold on the first layer, and drag it down to your new image with the circle layer. With out letting go, place this name layer as close to the center of the circle as you can. Run the animation and see if you are happy with it... if not try again.
10. When you are happy with it, click Animation in toolbar and choose reverse frames. In the same place click on Frame properties and change the setting to around 15.
