1. Create a new image with a Transparent background
and a resolution of 72. Rename this layer "BG". Size
doesn't particularly matter, however big you want the
image to be is fine, but I suggest it to be 300x300
or bigger.
2. Press CTRL+D to reset the colors. Fill the layer
"BG" with black.
3. Create a new (blank) layer above the layer "BG".
Name it "GRADIENT".
4. It's gradient time! Select the gradient tool. Now
Change your foreground color (black) to Red: FF0000.
Now go into the gradient Proporties and select
"Foreground To Transparent".

5. Now make two small gradient lines. They should
look like this:

6. Now select your Foreground Color (it should be
red). Now go to "H" (Hue), and type in: 30.
Your color should look orange.

7. Repeat Step 5 with this new color.

8. Select your Foreground Color again, and type in
60 for the hue. Your color should look yellow. Now
repeat step 5.

9. Now go to hue and type in 120. Repeat step 5.
10. Next go to hue and type in 180. Repeat step 5.
11. Next go to hue and type in 240. Repeat step 5.
12. Now go to hue and type in 300. Repeat step 5.
Your image should look something like this:

13. You can stop here, merge your layers and add graphics
and text or whatnot, but I suggest you read on, you
might get a better result.
14. Merge your layers (Shift + CTRL + E). Now duplicate the
layer. Name this layer "WAVE".
15. Next, go to Filter > Distort > Wave. Now click the
Randomize button until you get a desired result.

16. Go to Blending Options. You can use whatever looks
best for your image, but I suggest using Pin Light.

17. Merge your layers (Shift + CTRL + E). Now Duplicate the
layer. Name this layer "TWIRL". Go to Filter > Distort > Twirl
with the following proporties: Angle=256.
18. Now Go to Blending options, and use whatever looks
best for your image. I suggest Lighten.
19. Now Merge your layers (Shift + CTRL + E). Now Duplicate the
layer. Name this layer "BLUR". Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
with the following proporties: Radius=2.5-4 (whatever looks best
for your image).

your image look very nice. Your final product should
look something like this:
