Thutmose III... HOW TO DESIGN AN ELEGANT BACKGROUND ?

Thutmose III that means Thoth is born.
He was the sixth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty.



He was co-regent with his stepmother, Hatshepsut
He became the pharaoh of the kingdom after her death [ Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt ,and was named the pharaoh. ] He created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen,he conquered from Niya in north Syria to the fourth waterfall of the Nile in Nubia. Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost fifty-four years, this includes the twenty-two years he was co-regent to Hatshepsut his stepmother and aunt. During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son-and successor-Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. When Thutmose III died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egypt.

His Family
Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II by a secondary wife, Iset [ Iset or Isis she was named after goddess Isis].His father's great royal wife was Queen Hatshepsut. Her daughter Neferure was Thutmose's half-sister. 

When Thutmose II died Thutmose III was too young to rule, so Hatshepsut became his regent, soon his co regent, and shortly thereafter, she declared herself to be the pharaoh while never denying kinship to young Thutmose III.

His wives 
  • Satiah: She may have been the mother of his firstborn son, Amenemhat.
  • Merytre-Hatshepsut. His successor, the crown prince and future king Amenhotep II, was the son of Merytre-Hatshepsut.
  • Nebtu: she is depicted on a pillar in Thutmose III's tomb.
  • Menwi, Merti, Menhet three foreign wives.

Monumental construction  
Thutmose III was a great builder pharaoh and constructed over fifty temples,some of these are now lost and only mentioned in written records.

Death and burial  
He died after ruling Egypt for 53 years, 10 months, and 26 days .He was buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Mummy  
Thutmose III's mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut in 1881.The height of Thutmose III's mummy to be 1.615 m (5 ft. 3.58 in.),and the feet were absent .

That is a very short summery of the life story of that grate king .
I had designed that background and add the photo of the king to it .That background was designed with photo shop using filters only and some other simple tools .

Some uses of filters and how to use for designing the background.

Open new photo shop document 700 x 700 dimensions ,and white background of the design and  in the tool box
choose black for the foreground and white for the background colors.
  • Apply Filter -Render -Clouds.
  • Apply Filter -Render -Difference clouds.
  • Apply Filter -Pixelate - Color Halftone ,and adjust it as shown in the diagram . 
  • Apply Filter - Distort -Polar Coordinates,and adjust it as shown in the diagram .   
  • Apply Filter - Blur -Radial Blur. 

  • Go to Image Menu -Adjustments-Hue and Saturation .,and adjust it as shown in the diagram  exactly.   
  • Duplicate the layer,and adjust the blend mode of it to Linear Dodge.
  • Duplicate the layer,and adjust the blend mode of it to color.
  • With a big size Brush Tool choose colores to color your design from outside to inside.
  • Now you design is ready to save.

 I hope it is clear and useful, thanks
