Quite a few people have wanted to know how the wires in the Apdzv5 interface were done so I'm going to explain how in this simple tutorial. Making the wires is just a case of drawing a line and applying a few layer styles to it. To draw the line I use the pen tool. I guess if you wanted, you could draw a straight line and then shear it like in a few tutorials I've seen but using the pen tools gives you more control over how you want the wire to look. So get your pen tool (shortcut is P). Check the top of photoshop and make sure your prn tool settings are as shown -
Now draw the path of the wire that you want (since this is not a pen tool tutorial please learn from another tutorial on how to use the pen tool). Once you have the path that you are happy with .... select a small round 3 px brush.
Get a grey color like #EEEEEE. Then, while still having the pen tool selected, right click and go to "stroke path" and select your brush. (make sure you are on a new layer for this) You should now have a grey line in the shape of what you want your wire to look like. Now lets apply the layer styles.
Right click the layer which the wire is on and go to blending options. Add the following options -
Here's the result of a few wires which I put together -
