Design a Dark Portfolio Layout


First you need to create a new document with the following size : 1200 pixels width x 1000 pixel height.

With Paint Bucket Tool fill the background image with the following color: #3e3e3e.

Img

Duplicate the background layer by pressing CMD + J, and then go to Filer - Noise . Add noise ( and use a value between 2-4 )

Img

With Brush Tool draw a big round point with a smooth brush on a new layer of course, and then change the blending mode for this layer to overlay.

Img

In the middle of the layout draw a horizontal shape with Rectangle Tool.

Img

and for this rectangle add the following layer styles

Img

On top of the shape i will draw another shape.

Then i will duplicate it, and i will go to Edit - transform - perspective, and you will need to modify the look of the shape like i have on the following image

I have used the same layer styles i have used for the big shape a few steps ago, but this time you need to check the reverse checkmark

Img

The next step is to create another shape with Rectangle Tool

For this shape i have used the following layer styles

Img

I will use the following set of vector icons

which will be placed on the shelf i just made

Img

You need to duplicate all icons, and then go to Edit - Transform - Flip Vertical. With Move Tool i will place the second laptop icon under the original one. In this way i will show you how t create a nice reflection.

Img

I will select Eraser Tool, and i will delete the bottom part of the vector icon.

Img

I will do the same for all my icons

Img

I will add some text with Horizontal Type Tool

Img

On the bottom of the layout i will create a button

Then i will add another shape with Rounded Rectangle Tool. I will Rasterize the shape, and with Eraser Tool i will delete the top part of the shape.

I will add some text in this box

Img

On the right side i will add another icons, some text, and some lines.

Img

Now we will create the footer. This will be very simple. First create a shape like in the following image
