I will start with this tutorial by creating an empty document with the following size: 960x900 pixels. I will grab my Paint Bucket Tool and with the following color: #959595 I will click one time inside my document.
Select the background layer inside your layer palette, and press on
CTRL+J. This shortcut will duplicate your background layer, and it will
place another layer on top of the background layer.
Go to Filter - Noise - Add noise, and use the following settings:
With Rectangle Tool I will create a big shape on top of the layout. We will place in this area some important information about our website.
Add some layer styles for this layer
I will create a big white spot with a soft round brush. For this you will need to press on CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N to create a new layer, and then wit Brush Tool make a white spot like in the following image
Change the blending mode for this layer to Soft Light
With Rounded Rectangle Tool and Rectangle Tool create a header for our layout, and also a navigation bar.
With Rounded Rectangle Tool and with Ellipse Tool I will create three shapes like in the following image. I will create a slideshow where you can rotate your work, or portfolio. In my case I will place some stock images with cars, because this is the theme of my layout.
Select all these black shapes inside your layer palette, and then press on CTRL+E to merge them into a single layer. After you have only a single layer for this slide show you need to add the following layer styles.
This is the result.
In the middle of the layout I will add some content boxes. Here I will add later some images with some nice 3D car renders.
Now you will need to apply the following layer styles for all white shapes you see on this layout: the three content boxes, the navigation bar and the header.
This is my result so far
I will select Custom shape tool, and I will create some arrows on the left side of the slide show
I will add some text with Horizontal Type Tool
The next step is to create some buttons. I will use Rounded Rectangle Tool to create some buttons. I will use the same layer style I have used for the slide show border
My Final step is to add some images. I will use an image from an old tutorial: Design an old style Chevy icon
After that in the slide show area I will add some images. This is my final card dealer layout. I hope you like it.
