Let's start with a new document
Size should be as usual 760x770 pixels
Background : white
Duplicate the background layer ( to duplicate be sure you have the background layer selected in your layer palette, then press on Ctrl+J
Go to Filter > Noise > Add noise , and use the same settings like me
Then press Ctrl+U , and use the following settings :
We have a nice background for our layout.
Grab Rounded rectangle tool, and create a shape like mine
Now download the following image ,
and place it like me :
Be sure you select this layer in your layer palette , then with " Single Column Marquee Tool " make a selection like mine
Then press Ctrl+J ( this shortcut will create a new layer above the layer with the house )
I have created a new layer via copy
Select this new layer on your layer palette , then press on V on your keyboard, or select Move tool , and after that press Ctrl+T
You can see on your screen the transform controls
With Move toll change the Horizontal scale until you have the same result like mine
Select Rounded rectangle Tool , and create a few shapes. You can see that i have created 6 small shapes with a white color , and i have placed on the top of our layout. This shapes will be our buttons Then i have created a shape on the left side with a blue color.
For the blue shape layer please add the following layer styles
This is my result. you can see that i have added also some text. this is a simple job and i think everybody can do it alone. If you want you can download a 3D logo from www.logo-3d.com ( a talk-mania website ) and use it instead of my text logo
After that i have placed some forms and text on this orange shape
I will add some text on the body of this layout. in the same time i will add also some images
If you have Talk-Mania Big-Pack you can find a nice set of pixel icons for the next step. Please load the pixel icons brushes and create 3 or 4 icons on the right side of your layout
Now select Line Tool ( be sure the weight is set to 1 px ), and create 2 small lines like me
You can see that i placed another text on this layout
Now please go to www.photo-shop-brush.com ( a Talk-mania website ) and download the following set of brushes : Free Photoshop Brushes
After you will load the brushes , create a new layer above of all layers , and add some simple details with brush tool.
I hope you will find useful this layout.
