Tutorial

1. Extract your template folder using winRAR or another extracting software

It may look slightly different depending on your version of photoshop.

3. Open a kit template by File > Open then locate your template folder, click on the brand you want, then open the .psd file, it should look something like this View attachment 116127

4. Your Photoshop window should look like this View attachment 116129

5. To choose the template you wish to use, click on the eye logo next to the template number View attachment 116130

6. Once you have chosen your template go to the bottom of the list and there should be a layer called base or colour, something along tose lines, well double click this layer and click colour overlay View attachment 116131

9. Once you have done that its time to insert logos, Google the club name and you should find a logo easily, right click on it copy, then paste it into photoshop.
View attachment 116135 make sure the badge is below the texture layer or it will look ugly.

10. To get rid of the white around white around the logo, we use a tool called the magic wand View attachment 116136 Click this logo

11. Now, click on the white bits you want to get rid of, and press backspace <--

12. Press and hole Ctrl+T and it should bring up a "resizer" square around your badge, Hold Shift and drag a corner until its a decent size.

13. Press View attachment 116137 that allows you to move a layer, now move your logo into position. View attachment 116141

14. Now we need a sponser, Google for the sponser company and get the logo, and do the same as before, magic wand the white bits away, ctrl+T to resize then move it into position.

15. use colour overlay to change the sponser colour.

Quick question.. but how do you change the colour so say the top of the arms where the stripes are can be yellow ??
 
If its a good template, then just change the colour overlay on the seperate parts

Is there a good "step by step" guide to the Pen tool?

As good as Dec's video is, I found it hard to learn via a video. Imo I learn better through step by step guides like Nealls!

You have to make a config
For your kit - The Man United badge needs to be bigger, sponser a tad bigger and lifted, except that it's fine :)

How do you make a config?

And thanks for the advice :).

Edit - NVM.
