Background effect

I would like to know how to create this effect, the background texture and the blending of the picture and the background texture.

I am new to Photoshop and would appreciate any help I could get. A tutorial would be great or step by step instruction.

Thank you.

Can someone point me to a tutorial or something.:(

Thank you.

To me it looks like a texture over an image... or at least that's what I'd do to create that grainy line looking thing...

Thank you Doolittle, for the help.

Do you know of a tutorial that may help me?

Um, yeah. It is a texture over something. Pank has great tutorials for random textures, on www.teamphotoshop.com (Yeah! No $hit!)

To me it looks very 'grungy'. It appears to be a lot of layers of stuff, with different blending modes to accent the colors. It may be very difficult to get taht exact same result, but you can sort of get there by searching out some grunge tutorials. Also download some "grunge" brushes. Extract them to your brush folder.

I can see some definite shapes in the background. FOr instance, there is a very subtle pyramid (maybe from the one on US money?) also some lines that go up and down.

Blending modes like Color burn will get that deep rich color. The text is probably just some text, not like they created the text or anything. Might have some guassian blur going on behind it (select new layer - select text and fill, or copy and rasterize before blurring.)

Now the blending with the jacket and the background is probably done with some kind of masking, but could also just be a copy of the background overlayed on the jacket and reduce the opacity.
