I will create a new empty document with the following size: 960x900 pixels. Of course you can use another value for the height.
Select Rectangle Tool, and create a shape on the bottom of the layout. I will use a red color for this shape, and later in this tutorial I will add a simple gradient.
Now I will add a simple layer style:
This is my result so far
I will add some images with a "30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display"
On top of the layout I will create a navigation bar. I will make this navigation bar with Rounded Rectangle Tool.
For this navigation bar I will add some layer styles
This is my result
Select this layer in your layer palette, and duplicate the layer by pressing the CTRL+J key combination.
When you have two layers, please select them in your layer palette, and press CTRL+E to merge the 2 layers into a single one.
Select Eraser Tool, and use a round smooth brush to delete the left side of the navigation bar.
I will add our latest logo with Grafpedia on the left side of the navigation bar.
Now we will work on the body of the layout. I will choose Rounded Rectangle Tool to create a shape on the bottom of the layout. I will use a blue color, but in our next step this color will be changed with
some layer styles
For this blue shape I will add the following layer styles
This is my result so far
I will add some icons from this set of vector icons: Universal vector icons, on the left side of the body.
To add the icons download this set of icons: Direct download link, and open the vector .eps file inside Photoshop. It will look like in the following image
To copy each icon in separate layer you need to make a selection around each icon with Rectangular Marquee Tool.
Press on CTRL+C (copy), and then go to the layout document, and press on CTRL+V (paste), and you will see the new icons on a new separate layer. With Move Tool you can place the icons where you want.
I will add with this method another icon (pen icon) on the right side of the layout. In the same time I will add some text too.
On the top right side (above the navigation bar) I will place 2 round shapes and another icons with a membership card access. In this area you can create a login box.
On the bottom of the layout I will add some thin lines with Line Tool
My last step is to add some images inside the LED cinema display monitors. This is my final layout.
