Step 1
We start off by setting up a 900 by 780 pixel document with a white background and a resolution of about 200 dpi. Drawing a rounded rectangle, on the Tools bar, select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) and set its corners to 32 px on the Tool Presets. Right click, and enter its Fill Colour as #575b5f
Step 2
Clear the new shape's outline by selecting it with the Marquee Tool and pressing Delete. Go to Edit > Transform > Skew or press Ctrl+T and then right click to select Skew.
Step 3
Not done yet with the shape, right click again (while still in the Free Transform mode) and choose Distort. Duplicate the layer to use for later.
Step 4
Select the Magnetic Lasso Tool (L) and use the edges of the rectangle.You can
press the Delete key when it appears your line is off the path.
Step 5
Select the Gradient Tool (G) and on the Gradient Tool Presets, set its
Opacity to about 87%.
The Colours of the Stops are shown below:
Step 6
Now within the select, drag from right to left with the Gradient Tool. Then clear the Marquee selection. Name this layer "front bevel."
Step 7
The shape of the Nokia 7610 is a little bit of that of a candy bar. So, hit Ctrl+T and select Warp and add a slight curve to the top, right and bottom parts of the rectangle.
Step 8
Place the previously duplicated layer over the "front bevel" layer and scale to fit within the bevel.
Step 9
Set the Foreground Color to #f2f2f5 and select the Paint Bucket Tool (G). Click within the rounded rectangle duplicate and name it "front 1," if you've got a better name.
Step 10
Duplicate the "front 1? layer and go to Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur and set the Blur Radius to 5.0 pixels.
Here's the result. Also resize the blurred rectangle within the rectangle and name it "front 2."
Step 11
Create a new layer "front shade" and with the Rounded
Rectangle Tool at 34 px, draw a narrow rectangle somewhat to the left.
Fill colour: #2e2e35.
Step 12
We'll now blur the rectangle at about 40.1 pixels (Filter > Blur > Gaussian).
Step 13
Select "front 1? layer and add a Bevel and Emboss Layer Style to it with the following parameters below:
For Contour, select Linear and reduce its Range to 45%.
Step 14
Still on the "front 1? layer, apply an Inner Shadow Layer Style with the parameters below:
The resulting effects gives the front bevel a lifted appearance.
Step 15
For a new layer, select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and shape the selection as shown below.
Step 16
Select the Gradient Tool and edit the Gradient by setting its Color Stops from the left as: 1. #eff0f1 2. #e8e3e3 3. #645567 4. #27272a 5. #7b7b7d. The Opacity Stops from the left are: 9%, 9% and 95% consecutively.
Step 17
Drag the Gradient Tool within the selection.
Step 18
Go to Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur and set the Radius to 6.4 pixels. This creates a shade on the right-hand side.
Step 19
Within the Free Transform mode, select the Distort Tool and adjust to the left and bottom of the side shade. Name the layer "side shade2."
Step 20
Create a new layer "screen" and draw a Rounded Rectangle with 2 px rounded corners. Pressing Ctrl+T, use the Skew Tool to adjust the shape accordingly.
Fill with colour: #7e9ab2.
For the following layers, we'll be drawing circles. Starting with a "circle 1? layer, select the Ellipse Tool (U) to draw a circle while holding down the shift key to constraint the circle to a perfect shape.
Fill with colour #bccbd8 and reduce Opacity to 68%.
For the "circle 2? reduce its Opacity to 90%.
For "circle 3?, reduce its Opacity to 50%.
For "circle 4," reduce Opacity to 70%. Note: I drew two purple circles here because I just wanted to work faster. But if you want, could give both circles their own respective layers.
For "circle 5," reduce the Opacity to 55%.
For "circle 6? reduce Opacity to 50%.
Finally for both "circle 7? and "circle 8," reduce their opacities to 50% and 70% respectively.
Step 21
On the Layers Palette, pressing Ctrl+E, merge all "circle" layers right down to the "screen" layer. Then select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and on its Presets, set Feather to 2px. Make a selection around the screen.
Step 22
Right click the selection and choose Select Inverse to invert the selection outside the screen area.
Step 23
Hit the Delete key and you'll have the overlapping circles cropped within the screen area.
Step 24
The next couple of steps would be crucial in the enhancement of the translucent appearance of the Nokia phone. By selecting the Gradient Tool, set both the Gradient Color Stops to #f1f2f5 and #f3f4f9 respectively. For its Opacities: 40% and 85%.
Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool yet again, make a selection Feathered at 2px around the screen and thereafter, drag diagonally upwards (with a short stroke) within the selection. The layer should be named "screen gloss."
Step 25
For the next layer: "side gloss," make the selection as shown
below. When done, select the Gradient Tool with the same gradient
colours from the previous one, except the opacities should be set to
10%and 70%. Now drag the Gradient Tool from right to left.
The result:
Step 26
On the Layers Palette, select the "screen" layer. Using the Burn Tool (O), with its Range set to Midtones and Exposure at 35, burn certain areas of the screen as shown below:
The result eventually unifies the new shade of the screen with rest of the phone.
Step 27
Create a new layer and name it "navi pad." With the Rectangle Tool, draw a rectangle and use the Distort Tool while in Free Transform mode Ctrl+T) to set the shape diagonally.
Step 28
Still in the Free Transform mode, right click the shape and select Warp to give the rectangle a slight curve on both its width. Thus, giving it a convex shape.
Step 29
Hide the "navi pad" layer by clicking on the eye icon next to it. In a layer, draw a rounded cornered square at 30 px. Now, unhide the "navi pad" layer and have it merged with the layer containing the rounded cornered square by pressing Ctrl+E.
Step 30
On the merged "navi pad" layer, add a Gradient Overlay Layer Style to it with the parameters below:
Step 31
Follow it up with an Inner Glow style.
After applying the styles and a Gaussian Blur with a Radius of 10.5 pixels, draw another rounded square in a new layer.
Step 32
Apply a Bevel and Emboss Layer Style to the square.
Add a Contour: Contour type set to Cone and its Range increased to a 100%.
Now we've succeeded in creating a shiny metallic look. Name the layer "pad" if you wish.
Step 33
In another layer, draw a rounded square of the same corners with that of the pad within the pad itself. This new square will only serve as a guideline for the selection we're about to make.
Step 34
Now select the "pad" layer and with the Magnetic Lasso Tool, make a rounded square selection. Press Delete.
And there you have it. Don't forget to delete the layer with the previously drawn square.
B.
Add a Drop Shadow style to the "front bevel" layer.
