How to Create a Software Web Layout


As usual I will start with a new document with the following size : 1000 pixels width and 1100 pixels height. This size is very good because the website will fit good on all monitor resolutions.
I will change the foreground color to #202020, and with Paint Bucket Tool I will fill the document.
I will change the foreground color to #191919, and then I will grab Rectangle Tool to create two shapes.

Img

For both shapes I will add the same layer style

Img

Img

Img

This is my result so far.

Img

I will select Rounded Rectangle Tool, and I will create 3 shapes in the middle of the layout.

Img

For all these shapes I will use the same layer styles

Img

Img

This is my result so far. In the middle of each shape I will place some image later in this tutorial

Img

I will create another shapes under these ones, and I will rasterize them. As you can see I will choose darker color.
To rasterize la layer you need to right click on the layer inside your layer palette, and then choose Rasterize Shape from the menu.

Img

The reason I have rasterized this shape is because I will delete the bottom part of the shape. In this way you will have a nice reflection for this layer. Here is the result. Click on the following image to see the reflection for all shapes.

Img

I will create one more time another round shape with the following color: #191919.

Img

For this shape I will use the following layer style.

Img

Img

Img

Here is my result

Img

I will create another shapes. Please click on the following image to see the real size layout.

Img

For the smallest shapes I will add different layer styles. I have used different gradients, from this set of 27.000 Gradients.

I will not show you the settings for each style. be creative and choose any color you want. Here is my result

Img

I will select Horizontal Type Tool, and I will write some text over this layout.

Img

Now I will add some images in the middle of the layout.

I will use the same awesome digital bokeh effect I have used in this tutorial. If you want to see how it's made I recommend you to follow that tutorial.

Img

On the right side I will create a Green button. As you can see the button has a nice call to action, and it is very visible. If your product or software is good I am sure the ones who will download your
product will become customers.

Img

For this button I will add the following layer styles.

Img

Img

This is how my button will look like.

Img

I will create a text menu at the top, and between text buttons I will create some lines with Line Tool. Please create the two lines with different color. The first one is a light gray, and the second line is
a black.

Img

This is my final result. I hope you like this software layout
