This was developed to inspire a little creativity and hopefully you get a different and even better effect then I did. The effect produced here with this tutorial can be used in design interface layouts or even a sweet personal desktop for your PC. This effect was inspired by some of the Macintosh desktops.

Here are some examples to give you an idea of what you could do with your art.

Interface Layout	Sweet Animations	Personal Desktop

1. First things first set up a new canvase, name this digital curves art, 800X600 at 72dpi and then set up a new layer.

2. Ok now set your foreground color to whatever I used 4097E9 then your background 3555CE. Ya ya I like pastel colors and stuff ok. :)

3. Now we have that all fixed up you can click on activate your gradient tool and set it to Radial Gradient.

4. Drag your gradient out from the top left corner to the bottom right corner as shown on the below example.

5. Now create a new layer and use the circular marquee to drag out an oval about 1/2 the size of the canvas and feather at 20px found at (Select, Feather). Next (Edit, Stroke) and set the stroke at 40px Color: white, Location: inside, Blending: normal, Opacity: 100% and uncheck preserve transparency.

1.

6. Now rotate this around and duplicate 2 or 3 times max. Merge visible easy hot key (Shift,Ctrl,E).Then play with the levels until its kind of looking like the example below.

7. Next duplicate this later, zoom out, rotate it and play with the layer modes. Try Softlight or Overlay mode to start with, then play with the levels, curves and color balance, located under (Image, Adjust) to get something like this example here.
