Car Sales/Club Layout

Create a new document 900 x 1130, fill the background with the color #343436. Now your going to need an image of a car of some sort, I've chose a vector image i seen while browsing google images, best to find one with a simple background. Copy/Paste your car image onto your canvas, resize down to fit into the top right hand corner of the canvas.

Now add these layer styles to match mine.

On a new layer above your number plate shape select the circle tool and create a selection like the image below.

Fill with the color white and set layer opacity to 10%, Now while the white circle layer is selected press ctrl and click on the number plate layer to make a selection of the number plate, now go to "select > inverse" and hit the delete key. You should be left with this.

Do the same again only this time change the white circle to.

Set the 2nd white circle layers opacity to 7%, you should end up with something like this.

Now on your number plate shape add your website title and slogan, also create 4 really small circles for each corner of the number plate and add these layer styles.

You should have something like this.
