Open a new document with the following size: 960 x 900 pixels, then with Rectangle Tool, add some rectangles
For the layer number 2 and 4 (see image from above) I will add the following layer styles
For the first layer, I will use the following color: #d57a1a, and for the layer number 3 I will use the following color: #e5e1de. This is my result so far. Please click on the image to see the real size layout
On the body of this layout I will add a white shape with Rounded Rectangle Tool. I will set the corner radius to 6 pixels
For this white shape I will add the following layer styles
This is my result so far
It is nothing to fancy. The details on this layout I will add later
in this tutorial.
Now I will duplicate this layer. To duplicate a layer you need to select
it first in your layer palette, then press on CTRL+J
Right click on this copy, and choose Rasterize Layer.
The next step is to Grab Rectangular Marquee Tool, and you have to create a selection like in the following image
Now hit Delete on your Keyboard, then press on CTRL+D. This is my result
I will choose Rectangle Tool and I will create 2 shapes in the middle of this layout
It doesn't matter what color you choose in the next step I will add a layer style for both black shapes
This is what I have so far
With Rounded Rectangle Tool I will create a navigation bar at the top
I will add the following layer styles
This is how my navigation bar looks like. I will place some text
buttons over it. I will use the following font:
Bookman Old Style, Bold, 16 pt, Crisp
Under this big button, I will create a shape with Ellipse Tool
Then go To Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, and add use my settings
Lower the opacity for this shape to 50 %. This is how my navigation bar looks like
In the middle of our layout I will add 3 shapes
For all this red shapes I will add the following layer styles
This is my result
In the middle of this shape I will add an image. I will use the image
with my last tutorial:
Draw an awesome surreal dragon
I will also add some arrows with Custom shape tool
The next step is to add some text on your layout with Horizontal Type Tool
With Line Tool I will add some horizontal lines. All my lines will have 1 pixel
I will add 2 buttons like in the following image
I will create a new layer on top of all layers, and with Brush Tool, I will add a single point right above the logo
I will change the blending mode for this layer to Soft Light, and the
opacity value to 50 %
