Here we’ll be mixing type and a smoke image to create a really nice abstract wallpaper. This is just a quick tutorial but hopefully you’ll learn some new techniques so give it a go.

Step1
Firstly we can create a smoke picture there are the two option the first is brush or a second you can download the PNG image of smoke from Google Any where.
Create a new document with dimensions; 1280x1020px and a resolution of 72px/in.
Create a new layer. Change the foreground color to black then go Edit>Fill and fill it with the foreground color, a quicker way to do this is to hit alt+backspace. Paste your image into the document Select the move tool then move this layer so you have it looking like the image Below.
