Start with a blank document. Here I chose a black color for the bg.

Create a new layer.

2

Edit>fill

Choose pattern and and select the grid.

If you dont have a grid pattern, make one here.

Press ok


3

If we were to apply the distortion here, it would be messed up at the edges. So we need to enlarge the pattern

Press Ctrl/Cmd+T And scale the pattern off the canvas in all directions

Press Enter/Return to apply

 


4

This is where it happens.

Filter>Distort>wave

Lower the scale and press ok


5

Here is the wavey grid.

Try different colors for effect. Choose Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation to colorize. Check the "Colorize" button. Push the saturation amout up and lower the brightness if dealing with white.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks tutorial.
