Introduction
Making a nice trendy content box. Make your content boxes look like a proffetionals box.

Step 1
First of all you will need to start of with a new blank document, about 500 by 500 pixels, and fill the background with #EAEAEA. Now select the Rectangle Marquee tool and make a selection as show below. Make a new layer, Layers >> New Layer and then fill the selected oval in this colour #D6D6D6.


Step 2
Now go to [Select > Modify > Contract, and enter the number 4] You will notice that it has selected 4 pixels inside of the box. Delete the selected area (4 pixels inside the box). And on your Layer Palette. While holding CTRL click on the layer again. This will then select the border.


Step 3
Now go to [Layer > Layer Style > Blending options > Stroke] once your there use these settings:

You will now have an outline to you box.

Now to add a little tiny effect to it. Simply create a new layer, select the line tool. The line tool should have THESE settings. Once you've done that make your foreground white #FFFFFF and the while holding SHIFT, start from the far left to the far end, just below the top content box. Looks something like the picture below..? Good, lets carry on...


Step 4
Now make a new layer and a selection like mine on the picture below and add the same colour as the border which is, #D6D6D6. You should have something roughly the same as mine. If you have carry on.


Now go to [Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options > Stroke] and use these settings:

You now should have, roughly, something the same as mine:


Now to add in a small little pixel text. Then call it whatever you want.
