asked this in the ask a question channel so sorry in advance if this feels spammy, just thought it might be easier to open this up to the forum (less time sensitive, more people? idk im at a loss). basically looking to see how exactly the transitional noise is made between some of these areas (like the magenta into black, orange into black, the green filth area) i was super inspired by this banner but what i mentioned and how he did the black areas/texturing are a mystery to me
these specifically

There is no difference between posting here, or in the #❓ask-a-question channel. Excepet that it's esier to find, and ultimately get more detailled answers when other questions don't get piled up in the middle of answers..
Regarding the effect: I can't be totally sure, but for me it looks like a solarisation effect (basically an effect where parts of an image from from positive to negative in an abrupt manner). It's derived from a analog photo printing technique where you would briefly turn on the light in the lab while the paper was still in the developper bath.
Granted, it could be something else, but the effect, to me looks very much like this.
My money is on a solarisation effect done on a black and white images, with colour added on top (Possibly with the blend if added to the colour layer). Of course we can only conjecture!

There are videos that will teach you to solarise colour images like this one

But honestly, I think this starts from a BW image

You'll notice that the tutorials are all very old. It's part of the kind of effect that we could call "novelty", their popularity fades with time 🙂 but don't be put off by that.
I'm sure other people will chime in with better ideas, although I suspect, inverting all or part of a black and white image will be the core of tthe effect.

so you think he did this like on a grunge layer almost? or is the grunge look a result of using this effect on some random texture or something

I think the effect itself will give it the crunchy look. However, nothing stops you from using an additional grungy texture.

i think i will implement this and try to find more grunge textures. ive really just had a hard time finding what exactly to call that texture more than anything. its like paint chip? not sure
