In this little Photoshop tutorial we’ll be designing multicolored wallpapers with three-dimensional rainbow effect.
Start by making a new document in Photoshop – around 1900×1200 pixels in size, or, you know, whatever you prefer! Best use the default resolution, though 72. Ok, after that apply the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create selection about 1/7 thick canvas and fill selected area with color of #490d69.

Add five more different colors lines in the same way. Use following colors for every line: #0b7eb5, #9aa70e, #cfc211, #c3880a and #ae0617. Now we get nice rainbow canvas.

Deselect chosen area with Ctrl+D. After that get out the Horizontal Type Tool and write out the first word. It will be purple color name with white color. For this tutorial I used Myraid Pro font.
