Today I will create a stylish web layout and I think this one can fit pretty well for a furniture website<br />
To create a similar web layout you will need<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2. Some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Let start the tutorial!<br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N) with the following dimensions: 1020 by 1020 px.<br />
Once you have created this, select rectangle tool and create 3 shapes.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/109.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-910" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/109.jpg" alt="10" width="550" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>For the first one I have used this color (#5d3919), for the second one I have used (#ececec) and for the third one (#5d3919)</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the logo and navigation</h4>
<p>First with type tool I will add the logo (here is nothing fancy, just use type tool and write your desired text for logo)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1110.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-911" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1110.jpg" alt="11" width="548" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will select rectangle tool and I will make this shape. RGB color used: #ececec</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/129.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-912" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/129.jpg" alt="12" width="549" height="184" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1310.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-913" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1310.jpg" alt="13" width="474" height="344" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/149.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-914" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/149.jpg" alt="14" width="478" height="335" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/159.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-915" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/159.jpg" alt="15" width="478" height="340" /></a><br />
My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/178.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-916" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/178.jpg" alt="17" width="540" height="191" /></a></p>
<p>With type tool I will add the links for navigation<br />
My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/188.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-917" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/188.jpg" alt="18" width="546" height="190" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the header</h4>
<p>First I will select Rectangle tool and I will create this shape. Mine has this dimensions: 868 by 305px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/198.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-918" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/198.jpg" alt="19" width="549" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/208.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-919" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/208.jpg" alt="20" width="477" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>My result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/219.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-920" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/219.jpg" alt="21" width="550" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will need to add an image. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jinkazamah/sets/72157603759405530/" target="_blank">I have found here some really nice images</a>.<br />
So I will place an image above our shape and in the layer palette I will right click on the image and I will choose &#8220;Create Clipping Mask&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/229.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-921" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/229.jpg" alt="22" width="348" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/239.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-922" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/239.jpg" alt="23" width="550" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>Well the header is finished now</p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>This area is really easy to create. With type tool add some text and from our <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>, you will find some really nice icons related to interior design</p>
<p>Next for the footer you will need to copy the logo (make it a little bit smaller) and place it at the buttom.<br />
Here is my final result for this web layout:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1210.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-923" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1210.jpg" alt="12" width="550" height="550" /></a></p>

On this tutorial you will see how you can create an nice web layout, where you can showcase your products.<br />
For this tutorial you will need:<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2.<a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html"> Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document with this sizes: 1020 by 1020px.</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the logo</h4>
<p>First I will select Rectangle Tool and I will create this shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/108.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-883" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/108.jpg" alt="10" width="550" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>Mine has the following dimensions: 80X1020px and as a color I have chosen #2a363b<br />
Next I will select Ellipse tool and I will create a similar shape (as a background I will choose white)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/116.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-884" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/116.jpg" alt="11" width="481" height="145" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will go to: Filter&gt;Blur&gt;Gaussian Blur</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/128.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-885" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/128.jpg" alt="12" width="497" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Here I will choose a radius of 34.5px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/139.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-886" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/139.jpg" alt="13" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Then with type tool I will add some text. For Art I have used Bookman Old Style, 36 px in size and a pinkish color (#e84a5f), and for Box7 I have used Tahoma font (30px). Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/148.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-887" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/148.jpg" alt="14" width="546" height="88" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will select again Rectangle Tool and I will add some text on the right side,  on the same line with the logo.<br />
Here is my final result for this step</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/158.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-888" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/158.jpg" alt="15" width="534" height="63" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the Header</h4>
<p>With rectangle tool I will create a similar shape. Mine has this dimensions: 1020X309, as a color I have used: #e84a5f. With Type tool I will add some dummy text. Exactly below the text I will use an button (so called &#8220;Call to action&#8221; buttons)<br />
To create this button I will select Rounded rectangle Tool  with a radios of 12 px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/168.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-889" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/168.jpg" alt="16" width="549" height="234" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will apply the following layer styles (only for the button):</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/177.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-890" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/177.jpg" alt="17" width="479" height="327" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/187.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-891" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/187.jpg" alt="18" width="472" height="310" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/197.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-892" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/197.jpg" alt="19" width="475" height="324" /></a><br />
With Type Tool I will add some text. Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/207.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-893" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/207.jpg" alt="20" width="547" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>The final step for header would be to add an image with my tutorials<br />
Final result for header:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/218.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-894" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/218.jpg" alt="21" width="550" height="239" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Navigation</h4>
<p>Select Rectangle Tool and create a similar shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/247.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-895" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/247.jpg" alt="24" width="550" height="294" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply the following layer styles</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/258.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-896" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/258.jpg" alt="25" width="474" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>Select again rectangle tool and create a similar shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/287.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-897" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/287.jpg" alt="28" width="374" height="276" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply the following layer styles</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/268.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-898" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/268.jpg" alt="26" width="472" height="325" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/278.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-899" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/278.jpg" alt="27" width="474" height="325" /></a><br />
Next using type tool I will add links for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/297.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-900" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/297.jpg" alt="29" width="550" height="274" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 4 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>I will select Rectangle Tool and I will create a shape at the bottom of the content area</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/228.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-901" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/228.jpg" alt="22" width="549" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>Then using type tool and some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> I will fill the content area<br />
Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/238.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-902" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/238.jpg" alt="23" width="548" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Final result for this web layout</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/117.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-903" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/117.jpg" alt="11" width="549" height="549" /></a></p>

In this tutorial I will try to create a colorful web layout and I think the output will be a really nice one.<br />
For this tutorial I have used:<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2. <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Let&#8217;s start the tutorial<br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document. Mine has the following dimensions: 1020 by 1020px.<br />
Next with rectangle tool I will create 3 colorful shapes. For the first one I have used this color #a0e1da and the following dimensions: 1020 by 350px.<br />
For the second one  I have used this color #f5e7ca and the shape has the following dimensions : 1020 by 650px<br />
The third one has the following dimensions  1020 by 200px and as a color I have used #b8d758</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/105.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-858" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/105.jpg" alt="10" width="551" height="551" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the logo &amp; navigation</h4>
<p>With type tool I have written Art (using orange &#8211; #f9882a, the font used is Agency FB &#8211; 36px) and then I have  typed Box7 (color &#8211; #626262, font Arial &#8211; 32px) and I have applied the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/115.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-859" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/115.jpg" alt="11" width="473" height="336" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/127.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-860" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/127.jpg" alt="12" width="543" height="118" /></a></p>
<p>For navigation, I have selected first Rectangle Tool and I have created a similar shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/138.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-861" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/138.jpg" alt="13" width="551" height="78" /></a></p>
<p>As a color I have used #a6efe7<br />
Then With type tool I will add the links for navigation and I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/147.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-862" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/147.jpg" alt="14" width="473" height="328" /></a></p>
<h4>Step2 &#8211; Creating the header</h4>
<p>Well the header is quite easy to create. On  the right side I will add some images and on the left side I will add some text. For the text I have used this layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/157.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-863" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/157.jpg" alt="15" width="476" height="349" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/167.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-864" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/167.jpg" alt="16" width="476" height="339" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/176.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-865" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/176.jpg" alt="17" width="471" height="352" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/186.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-866" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/186.jpg" alt="18" width="475" height="319" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/196.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-867" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/196.jpg" alt="19" width="479" height="327" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/206.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-868" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/206.jpg" alt="20" width="475" height="324" /></a><br />
My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/217.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-869" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/217.jpg" alt="21" width="550" height="203" /></a></p>
<p>Because this will be a slideshow I will create some arrows.<br />
Select Ellipse tool and create a similar circle</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/227.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-870" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/227.jpg" alt="22" width="546" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply this layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/237.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-871" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/237.jpg" alt="23" width="476" height="317" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/246.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-872" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/246.jpg" alt="24" width="475" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Then with pen tool create an triangle. Right click on it and choose &#8220;Make a selection&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/257.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-873" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/257.jpg" alt="25" width="280" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>Then select paint bucket tool and fill the selection with this color #c0c0c0<br />
Here is my final result for Header</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/267.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-874" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/267.jpg" alt="26" width="550" height="190" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>Well to create the content area is quite easy. All you have to do is to use Type tool with some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>. Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/277.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-875" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/277.jpg" alt="27" width="549" height="435" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 4 &#8211; Creating the footer</h4>
<p>Again here is quite easy. The first 2 section I have created with type tool. My result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/286.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-876" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/286.jpg" alt="28" width="550" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>I have a newsletter area, here I will use rectangle tool and I will create 2 shapes<br />
And I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/296.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-877" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/296.jpg" alt="29" width="477" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>My final result for footer:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/305.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-878" title="30" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/305.jpg" alt="30" width="546" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Well the tutorial is finished now. I hope you have a great time reading it.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/106.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-879" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/106.jpg" alt="10" width="549" height="549" /></a></p>

In this tutorial you will learn how to create an eye catching web layout using Photoshop and some resources from ArtBox7.com<br />
To create a similar web layout you will need:<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2. Vector Icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Let&#8217;s start it<br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N) with the following dimensions: 1020px by 1020px and as a background choose white</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the logo</h4>
<p>First I will select ellipse tool and I will create a similar shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/104.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-831" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/104.jpg" alt="10" width="539" height="47" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will go to Filter&gt;Blur&gt;Gaussian Blur</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/114.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-832" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/114.jpg" alt="11" width="363" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>And here select radios of 15.8px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/126.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-834" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/126.jpg" alt="12" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/137.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-835" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/137.jpg" alt="13" width="546" height="68" /></a></p>
<p>Next select rectangle tool and create a shape above the shadow created in previsions step</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/146.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-836" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/146.jpg" alt="14" width="546" height="73" /></a></p>
<p>Now I will add the logo. For &#8220;Art&#8221; I have used TOSCA ZERO font (36px) with the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/156.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-837" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/156.jpg" alt="15" width="480" height="337" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/166.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-838" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/166.jpg" alt="16" width="475" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/175.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-839" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/175.jpg" alt="17" width="544" height="53" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the navigation</h4>
<p>With rectangle tool I will create a similar shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/185.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-840" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/185.jpg" alt="18" width="546" height="47" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/195.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-841" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/195.jpg" alt="19" width="482" height="370" /></a></p>
<p>With type tool I will add the links for navigation<br />
Here is my final result for navigation:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/205.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-842" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/205.jpg" alt="20" width="545" height="67" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Creating the header</h4>
<p>First I will select rectangle tool and I will create a similar shape. Mine has the following dimensions: 1039X309. As a color I have used # 646a7a</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/236.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-843" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/236.jpg" alt="23" width="547" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will <a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/texture.jpg" target="_blank">add this texture</a> on my layout. On my layer palette I will  create a Clipping Mask (to have the image fitting exactly on my shape)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/216.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-844" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/216.jpg" alt="21" width="358" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>than I will change the blending options to Overlay and I will lower the opacity to 88%.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/226.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-845" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/226.jpg" alt="22" width="236" height="188" /></a></p>
<p>My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/245.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-846" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/245.jpg" alt="24" width="550" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>With type tool I will add some text and then an image.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/256.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-847" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/256.jpg" alt="25" width="549" height="247" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will select ellipse tool and I will create this shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/266.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-848" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/266.jpg" alt="26" width="549" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>I will go again to Filer&gt;Blur&gt;Gaussian Blur (exactly the same steps used to create the shadow for Logo). Here I will use a radius of 15px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/276.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-849" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/276.jpg" alt="27" width="549" height="222" /></a></p>
<p>I will select rectangle tool (as a color I have used: # ededed) and I will create a shape just above the shadow created on previous step</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/285.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-850" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/285.jpg" alt="28" width="550" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>Next with type tool and with some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> I will finish the header. Here is my final result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/295.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-851" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/295.jpg" alt="29" width="547" height="274" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 4 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>It&#8217;s quite easy. To create this area I have used (Type Tool) and some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>. Here is my final output for this layout:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/91.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-852" title="9" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/91.jpg" alt="9" width="549" height="549" /></a></p>

Today I will create another layout tutorial, here on ArtBox7.com and hopefully it will be useful for you.<br />
To create a similar web layout you will need the following:</p>
<p>1. Adobe Photoshop</p>
<p>2. Some vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Let&#8217;s start the tutorial.<br />
Open a Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N) with the following dimensions:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/113.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-808" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/113.jpg" alt="11" width="541" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>As a background color i have used: #f3f3e7</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the logo</h4>
<p>First select rectangle tool and create a similar shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/125.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-809" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/125.jpg" alt="12" width="547" height="114" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/135.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-810" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/135.jpg" alt="13" width="481" height="340" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/145.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-811" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/145.jpg" alt="14" width="478" height="331" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/155.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-812" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/155.jpg" alt="15" width="479" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>Select ellipse tool and add a similar shape (using black). Make sure that you place the layer below the layer created on the step above, then apply a Gaussian blur</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/165.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-813" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/165.jpg" alt="16" width="393" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>with a radios of 9.1</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/174.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-814" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/174.jpg" alt="17" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>I will proceed the same way for the left and right and I will add some text for logo and in the right side a phone number (toll free)<br />
Here is my final result for logo:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/184.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-815" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/184.jpg" alt="18" width="547" height="131" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the navigation</h4>
<p>Select Rectangle tool and create a shape like mine (1020X56). I have used a blue color (#00bfe4)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/194.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-816" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/194.jpg" alt="19" width="547" height="93" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will add some links for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/204.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-817" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/204.jpg" alt="20" width="549" height="113" /></a></p>
<p>For each link I have used the following layer style:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/215.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-818" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/215.jpg" alt="21" width="479" height="346" /></a></p>
<p>To see witch page is selected in navigation I will add small triangle using the pen tool.<br />
First select pen tool and draw a triangle:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/225.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-819" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/225.jpg" alt="22" width="508" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>Right click on it (make sure that pen tool is still selected ). Here choose &#8220;Make Selection&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/235.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-820" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/235.jpg" alt="23" width="389" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Then create a new layer (to create a new layer from your keyboard push Ctrl+Alt+N).<br />
Once a new layer is created, select Paint Bucket Tool (as a color choose #f3f3e7)<br />
Final result for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/255.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-821" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/255.jpg" alt="25" width="548" height="118" /></a></p>
<h4>Step3 -  Creating the header</h4>
<p>To crate this, first I will add an image. I have found a good one on my hard-drive (all I have to do is to place it on my layout) then with type tool I will add some dummy text. And voila!<br />
The header is finished!</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/265.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-822" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/265.jpg" alt="26" width="548" height="316" /></a></p>
<h4>Step4 &#8211; Creating the content area.</h4>
<p>Here again is a really simple task. All you have to do is to add first the text. You will need to be patient and to make it looks good. For paragraphs I have used Tahoma font with 12px. Then for title I have used the same font title, but with 14px. The vector icons used are from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/275.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-823" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/275.jpg" alt="27" width="550" height="370" /></a><br />
Next I will create the Portfolio area, wich is really easy. With type tool, some images from my tutorials and rectangle tool using #66d5e5 color you can create a similar area in no more than 2-3 minutes.<br />
Here is my final result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-824" title="8" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8.jpg" alt="8" width="550" height="550" /></a></p>

Today I will create a minimalist web site design in Photoshop , and hopefully it will be useful for your future projects.<br />
Like usual, open Photoshop and create a new document 1020px by 1020px and as a background choose white.<br />
With type tool write your logo &#8211; I have used  #bfbfbf and for slogan #8e8e8e</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the navigation.</h4>
<p>With rectangle tool, create a similar shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/314.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-788" title="31" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/314.jpg" alt="31" width="549" height="189" /></a></p>
<p>And apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/333.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-789" title="33" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/333.jpg" alt="33" width="477" height="335" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/343.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-790" title="34" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/343.jpg" alt="34" width="476" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>Then with type tool I will add the links for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/353.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-791" title="35" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/353.jpg" alt="35" width="550" height="121" /></a></p>
<p>And using line tool I will create some arrows<br />
Here is my final result for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/363.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-792" title="36" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/363.jpg" alt="36" width="546" height="113" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the slide show</h4>
<p>Create 3 similar shapes.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/374.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-793" title="37" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/374.jpg" alt="37" width="549" height="279" /></a></p>
<p>To create the shadow, I will duplicate the bigger shape and I will drag it a little bit down:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/383.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-794" title="38" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/383.jpg" alt="38" width="549" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will select Eraser tool and a brush with a dimension of 104px. And I will start erasing a little bit this shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/391.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-795" title="39" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/391.jpg" alt="39" width="451" height="409" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/401.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-796" title="40" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/401.jpg" alt="40" width="551" height="302" /></a><br />
Once you are satisfied with result reduce the opacity to 39%</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/412.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-797" title="41" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/412.jpg" alt="41" width="479" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>I will proceed the same way for the remaining 2 shapes, and in the same time I will add some images<br />
Here is my result:<br />
Now because this is a slideshow I will create some nice arrows, to browse through images.<br />
I will select ellipse tool and while I create the shape I will hold down Shift key to create a perfect circle</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/421.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-798" title="42" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/421.jpg" alt="42" width="341" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>Once the circle was created apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/432.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-799" title="43" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/432.jpg" alt="43" width="475" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Next with type tool, create a triangle and apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/441.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-800" title="44" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/441.jpg" alt="44" width="477" height="335" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/452.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-801" title="45" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/452.jpg" alt="45" width="486" height="342" /></a><br />
Here is my final result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/461.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-802" title="46" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/461.jpg" alt="46" width="549" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Now with type tool I will add some text</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/472.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-803" title="47" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/472.jpg" alt="47" width="549" height="389" /></a></p>
<p>I will create again a slideshow like I do in the previous steps and then I will create again a slideshow.<br />
Final result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-804" title="7" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7.jpg" alt="7" width="550" height="621" /></a><br />
Well the layout is finished now. I hope you have had a great read!</p>

Today I will create an unusual web layout and I hope it will be useful for your future projects.<br />
To create this tutorial I have used<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2. Vector icons from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>.<br />
Let&#8217;s start the tutorial<br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl+N) with the following dimensions: 1020X 1020px, as a background choose: #8e8e8e<br />
Next I will create the logo, which is quite simple. with type tool I will try first &#8220;Art&#8221; with Bauhaus 93 font and an orange color #f6b620, for &#8220;Box7&#8243; I have used Tahoma font with grey #c6c6c6.</p>
<h4>Step1 &#8211; Creating the navigation:</h4>
<p>Select rounded rectangle tool with a radius of 12px and create a similar shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/103.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-762" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/103.jpg" alt="10" width="548" height="101" /></a></p>
<p>Next select ellipse tool and create 3 similar shapes on navigation:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/112.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-763" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/112.jpg" alt="11" width="550" height="147" /></a></p>
<p>Now for each shape I will apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of 7px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-764" title="9" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9.jpg" alt="9" width="393" height="286" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/124.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-765" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/124.jpg" alt="12" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>And with type tool I will write &#8220;Home&#8221;<br />
Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/134.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-766" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/134.jpg" alt="13" width="550" height="116" /></a></p>
<p>I will duplicate the same steps for the next buttons on navigation.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/144.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-767" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/144.jpg" alt="14" width="547" height="102" /></a></p>
<p>With Pen Tool I will create a similar shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/154.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-768" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/154.jpg" alt="15" width="548" height="154" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/164.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-769" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/164.jpg" alt="16" width="549" height="155" /></a></p>
<p>Then select Paint Bucket Tool and fill this area with #f2f2f2</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/173.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-770" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/173.jpg" alt="17" width="547" height="129" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the content area:</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/183.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-771" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/183.jpg" alt="18" width="549" height="269" /></a></p>
<p>Then with rectangle tool create a similar shape (I have used red just for demonstrations proposes):</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/203.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-772" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/203.jpg" alt="20" width="550" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>Make sure that you have Rectanle tool selected and create another 2 shapes (two black squares) and place them behind the red shape. Please see the screenshots:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/214.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-773" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/214.jpg" alt="21" width="549" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>Then go to: Filter&gt;Blur&gt;Box Blur</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/224.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-774" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/224.jpg" alt="22" width="419" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>And for each square, apply a Gaussian blur (8-9 radius)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/234.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-775" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/234.jpg" alt="23" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/244.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-776" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/244.jpg" alt="24" width="548" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>I will duplicate this shape and I will create another two. I will add some vector icons from Complete Designer Set and with type tool I will add some text. Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/254.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-777" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/254.jpg" alt="25" width="548" height="247" /></a></p>
<p>Now I will duplicate the shape used for navigation, I will modify it a little bit (increase the height) and I will place it on the middle of the shape</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/264.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-778" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/264.jpg" alt="26" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p>And I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/274.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-779" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/274.jpg" alt="27" width="478" height="388" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/274.jpg"></a><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/284.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-780" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/284.jpg" alt="28" width="479" height="392" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/294.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-781" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/294.jpg" alt="29" width="488" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will place an image found on sxc.hu. Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/304.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-782" title="30" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/304.jpg" alt="30" width="550" height="359" /></a></p>
<p>Now all you have to do is to repet the steps created above, because everything is similar with what we have already created.<br />
The navigation is almost the same (I just changed the links and I have place them on the right side)</p>
<p>Final preview:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-783" title="6" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6.jpg" alt="6" width="549" height="539" /></a></p>

Today I will create colorful template which can be used for a product website, portfolio and why not for a corporate business.<br />
As usual, yo create this tutorial you will need:</p>
<p>1. Adobe Photoshop Software<br />
2. <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> (this pack is filled with more than <strong>6000 graphic elements</strong> and I am sure it will be really useful for your design needs)<br />
3. Time to read on<br />
Let&#8217;s start the tutorial:<br />
Open Photoshop and create a similar document (Ctrl +N) as a background color choose #392215. Dimensions: 1020 X 1020px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/102.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-714" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/102.jpg" alt="10" width="541" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>Next select ellipse tool and add a white shape in the middle of the page</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/111.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-715" title="11" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/111.jpg" alt="11" width="550" height="554" /></a></p>
<p>Now make sure that you shape is selected and go to: Filter&gt;Blur&gt;Gaussian Blur</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/123.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-716" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/123.jpg" alt="12" width="515" height="425" /></a></p>
<p>And for radius choose maximum: 250px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/133.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-717" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/133.jpg" alt="13" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Ok, we have finished this part, now we will go and we will create the logo</p>
<h4>Step1 &#8211; Creating the logo</h4>
<p>From <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>, select <a href="http://artbox7.com/59-colorful-curve-vectors.html">Colorful Curve Vectors</a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/143.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-718" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/143.jpg" alt="14" width="549" height="523" /></a></p>
<p>And place it on the top&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/153.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-719" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/153.jpg" alt="15" width="549" height="104" /></a></p>
<p>Then drag it till you have something like and make sure that you set the opacity to 49%</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/163.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-720" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/163.jpg" alt="16" width="548" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Right now I have used an vector and if you will look a little bit to our colorful vector you will see that is not pixelated at all. That is one of the advantages of using vector graphics instead of raster graphics.<br />
Next I will select type tool, and I will type ArtBox7.com using &#8220;Gabriola&#8221; font, and then I will apply the following layer styles</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/172.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-721" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/172.jpg" alt="17" width="477" height="325" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/182.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-722" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/182.jpg" alt="18" width="481" height="339" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/202.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-724" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/202.jpg" alt="20" width="480" height="388" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/213.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-725" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/213.jpg" alt="21" width="549" height="111" /></a></p>
<p>Next from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> I will add some <a href="http://artbox7.com/5-ornamental-vectors">vector ornaments</a> and I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/223.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-726" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/223.jpg" alt="22" width="477" height="325" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/233.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-727" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/233.jpg" alt="23" width="478" height="349" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/243.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-728" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/243.jpg" alt="24" width="481" height="361" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/253.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-729" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/253.jpg" alt="25" width="477" height="326" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/263.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-730" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/263.jpg" alt="26" width="480" height="316" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my final result for logo</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/273.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-731" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/273.jpg" alt="27" width="547" height="115" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the navigation</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape with the following dimensions (950 X 55) the color is not important because we will apply some layer styles :</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/283.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-732" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/283.jpg" alt="28" width="480" height="321" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/293.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-733" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/293.jpg" alt="29" width="479" height="319" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/303.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-734" title="30" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/303.jpg" alt="30" width="475" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/313.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-735" title="31" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/313.jpg" alt="31" width="547" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>First with type tool I will write Home, than with rectangle tool I will create a similar shape (the color is not important now):</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/322.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-736" title="32" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/322.jpg" alt="32" width="549" height="157" /></a><br />
I will press Ctrl + T (for free transform) or Edit&gt;Free Transform (please see the screenshot) and I will rotate it a little bit to the left</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/332.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-737" title="33" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/332.jpg" alt="33" width="549" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/342.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-738" title="34" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/342.jpg" alt="34" width="549" height="133" /></a><br />
Next I will make sure that this layer is selected and then I will choose Rectangular Marque Tool</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/352.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-739" title="35" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/352.jpg" alt="35" width="548" height="162" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will make a similar selection (with Rectangular Marque Tool, of course)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/362.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-740" title="36" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/362.jpg" alt="36" width="548" height="173" /></a></p>
<p>Make sure that the layer is selected and press DELETE on your keyboard</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/373.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-742" title="37" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/373.jpg" alt="37" width="547" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>I will apply the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/382.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-743" title="38" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/382.jpg" alt="38" width="480" height="324" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/39.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-744" title="39" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/39.jpg" alt="39" width="477" height="328" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/40.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-745" title="40" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/40.jpg" alt="40" width="478" height="340" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/411.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-746" title="41" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/411.jpg" alt="41" width="478" height="344" /></a><br />
And with type tool (Ctrl + T) I will add the navigation text</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/431.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-747" title="43" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/431.jpg" alt="43" width="448" height="123" /></a></p>
<p>I will multiple 2 more times the same step, and here is my result for navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/44.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-748" title="44" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/44.jpg" alt="44" width="549" height="155" /></a></p>
<h4>Step3 &#8211; Creating the header</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape (951X299) I have used the following color: #d29003</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/491.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-749" title="49" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/491.jpg" alt="49" width="549" height="327" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will use<a href="http://alexesn.deviantart.com/art/AVATAR-Movie-Leather-Texture-152055783"> this texture</a>:  created by <a href="http://alexesn.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">alexesn</a> (it&#8217;s a really nice one <img src='http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />
Place it in Photoshop just above the header</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/451.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-750" title="45" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/451.jpg" alt="45" width="431" height="364" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have added it in Photoshop click in its layer and create a &#8220;Clipping Mask&#8221; , then for Blending options choose &#8220;Overlay&#8221; and reduce the opacity to 17%</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/46.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-751" title="46" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/46.jpg" alt="46" width="237" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>With type tool write some text and add and image on the right side<br />
Here is my final result for header:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/471.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-752" title="47" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/471.jpg" alt="47" width="550" height="355" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 4 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>Well from now on, everything is easy to create.<br />
First I will add create some lines which will serve as a separator between the header and content area<br />
These lines need to make a contrast between those header and content area:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/501.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-753" title="50" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/501.jpg" alt="50" width="550" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>The first line needs to be a darker one: #231913<br />
The second one a light one: #4d4139<br />
Next I will add some text and then some <a href="http://artbox7.com/36-vector-icons">vector icons</a> from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Compete Designer Set</a> (on the right side) then I will add few more separators:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/511.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-754" title="51" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/511.jpg" alt="51" width="550" height="410" /></a></p>
<p>This template is almost finished. I will need to use one more <a href="http://artbox7.com/36-vector-icons">vector icons</a> (from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>) and then with rectangle tool to create some forms.<br />
Here is my final result for this Photoshop template:<br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/521.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-755" title="52" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/521.jpg" alt="52" width="550" height="549" /></a></p>

Today I will create a black and white business template in Photoshop. I hope it will be useful for your upcoming projects!<br />
What do you need to create a similar template:<br />
1. Photoshop (obviously <img src='http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />
2. <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> from <a href="http://artbox7.com">ArtBox7.com</a> (we will use some vector icons from this set).<br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N). Your document needs to have the following dimensions: 1020X1020 px and as a background color choose:  #f1f1f1 (a Grey one)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/101.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-688" title="10" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/101.jpg" alt="10" width="541" height="328" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating top navigation and logo</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape with the following dimensions: 1020X214px. I have used this color: #464646</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/122.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-689" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/122.jpg" alt="12" width="546" height="230" /></a></p>
<p>Next select again rectangle tool but this time create a smaller shape on the top. Please note that I have used white just for learning proposes. This shape need to be a blackish one (#464646)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/132.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-690" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/132.jpg" alt="13" width="550" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>Next apply the following layer styles</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/142.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-691" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/142.jpg" alt="14" width="479" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Add some text on the right side. Here is my final result for it navigation</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/152.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-692" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/152.jpg" alt="15" width="550" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>Creating the logo<br />
Select type tool and add your desired text for logo then apply th following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/162.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-693" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/162.jpg" alt="16" width="475" height="338" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/171.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-694" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/171.jpg" alt="17" width="477" height="357" /></a><br />
Here is my result for logo</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/181.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-695" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/181.jpg" alt="18" width="550" height="215" /></a></p>
<p>Then I will select ellipse tool and I will add a shape just above the logo (I have used white)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/192.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-696" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/192.jpg" alt="19" width="534" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Make sure that you have this shape selected, then apply a Gaussian Blur:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/201.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-697" title="20" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/201.jpg" alt="20" width="410" height="462" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/212.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-698" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/212.jpg" alt="21" width="322" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>My final result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/222.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-699" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/222.jpg" alt="22" width="550" height="188" /></a></p>
<p>Next I will add a search bar (using rectangle tool) and a vector icon from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
My result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/232.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-700" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/232.jpg" alt="23" width="550" height="220" /></a></p>
<h4>Step2  &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>Here using rectangle tool we will need to create several shapes. Please see the screenshot:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/242.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-701" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/242.jpg" alt="24" width="550" height="453" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply the following layer styles for each shape:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/252.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-702" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/252.jpg" alt="25" width="474" height="327" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/262.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-703" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/262.jpg" alt="26" width="473" height="348" /></a><br />
Next using type tool, and some vector icons from Complete Designer Set add some text and some vector images on each shape created above<br />
Here is my final result for content area:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/272.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-704" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/272.jpg" alt="27" width="550" height="479" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Creating the footer</h4>
<p>As usual footer is quite easy to create. First select rectangle tool and create a similar shape (mine has the following dimensions 1020X180px)</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/282.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-705" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/282.jpg" alt="28" width="549" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Next duplicate logo and make it a little bit smaller</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/292.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-706" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/292.jpg" alt="29" width="550" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Using line tool, create 3 separators. I have used white</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/302.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-707" title="30" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/302.jpg" alt="30" width="549" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>And the final step would be to add some text, using type tool</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/312.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-708" title="31" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/312.jpg" alt="31" width="550" height="221" /></a></p>
<p>Here is my final result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/psd4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-709" title="psd4" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/psd4.jpg" alt="psd4" width="550" height="550" /></a></p>

<p>Hello. Today I will create another tutorial and this one will be a special one, because I will create a tutorial related to Valentine&#8217;s Day (Valentine&#8217;s Day Photoshop Template).<br />
To create this tutorial I have used:<br />
1. Photoshop<br />
2. Some <a href="http://artbox7.com/36-vector-icons">vector icons</a> and <a href="http://artbox7.com/5-ornamental-vectors">vector ornaments</a> from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a><br />
Open Photoshop and create a new document (CTRL + N) with the following dimensions:  1020X1040 px and as a color background choose : #f0dfb5</p>
<h4>Step 1 &#8211; Creating the navigation and the logo</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create 2 similar shapes. Each shape has the following dimensions: 349 X 51 px<br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/121.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-651" title="12" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/121.jpg" alt="12" width="548" height="147" /></a><br />
Then apply the following layer styles:<br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/131.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-652" title="13" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/131.jpg" alt="13" width="473" height="331" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/141.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-653" title="14" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/141.jpg" alt="14" width="485" height="362" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/151.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-654" title="15" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/151.jpg" alt="15" width="475" height="320" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/161.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-655" title="16" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/161.jpg" alt="16" width="474" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/17.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-656" title="17" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/17.jpg" alt="17" width="553" height="73" /></a></p>
<p>Next using type tool (T) I will add some text. The font used is: Gabriola and I will try to add a nice separator between the Text. For that I will select line tool and I will add a small line (1px weight) using this color: #620101<br />
Now I will duplicate this line. When you duplicate a layer select it first, than right click on it and choose &#8220;Duplicate Layer&#8221;. Once the layer is duplicated, change the color to #db0303 and move it 1px to the right (using the right arrow on your keyboard).<br />
Here&#8217;s my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/18.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-657" title="18" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/18.jpg" alt="18" width="477" height="318" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/18.jpg"></a><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/191.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-659" title="19" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/191.jpg" alt="19" width="550" height="259" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/211.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-660" title="21" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/211.jpg" alt="21" width="524" height="188" /></a><br />
Next from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a> I will look for some <a href="http://artbox7.com/5-ornamental-vectors">vector ornaments</a> (we have plenty of them in this pack) and I will add them just bellow the navigation.<br />
Here is my final result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/221.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-661" title="22" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/221.jpg" alt="22" width="546" height="78" /></a></p>
<p>The navigation is now finished. Next I will create the logo just between the navigation where is that empty space.<br />
Select type tool and add your desired text for logo. I have used <em>Vivaldi</em> font and the following layer styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/231.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-662" title="23" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/231.jpg" alt="23" width="477" height="355" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/241.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-663" title="24" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/241.jpg" alt="24" width="477" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/251.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-664" title="25" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/251.jpg" alt="25" width="478" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>My final result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/261.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-665" title="26" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/261.jpg" alt="26" width="546" height="93" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 2 &#8211; Creating the header</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create a similar shape using this color: #e1d3b1</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/271.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-666" title="27" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/271.jpg" alt="27" width="548" height="247" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply the following layer styles:<br />
Next using a ellipse tool add a similar shape just below the header. This will serve as a shadow.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/281.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-667" title="28" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/281.jpg" alt="28" width="469" height="310" /></a></p>
<p>Then apply a Gaussian blur : Filter&gt;Blur&gt; Gaussian Blur with a radius of 20.5px</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/291.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-668" title="29" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/291.jpg" alt="29" width="550" height="254" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/301.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-669" title="30" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/301.jpg" alt="30" width="400" height="401" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/311.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-670" title="31" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/311.jpg" alt="31" width="322" height="333" /></a><br />
My result</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/321.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-671" title="32" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/321.jpg" alt="32" width="549" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Next  I will add an image with an rose and some vector ornaments from <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/331.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-672" title="33" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/331.jpg" alt="33" width="550" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>Using Type Tool I will add some quotes to make the header looks good<br />
Here is my final result for header:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/341.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-673" title="34" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/341.jpg" alt="34" width="550" height="246" /></a></p>
<h4>Step 3 &#8211; Creating the content area</h4>
<p>Select rectangle tool and create 3 similar shapes. The color does not matter right now because we will apply some layers next.</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/351.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-674" title="35" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/351.jpg" alt="35" width="550" height="559" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/361.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-676" title="36" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/361.jpg" alt="36" width="475" height="322" /></a><br />
<a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/371.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-677" title="37" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/371.jpg" alt="37" width="471" height="325" /></a></p>
<p>Now apply the following layer styles (for each shape)<br />
Here is my result:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/381.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-678" title="38" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/381.jpg" alt="38" width="549" height="563" /></a></p>
<p>Next all we have to do is to add some text and to use some <a href="http://artbox7.com/36-vector-icons">vector icons</a> from our <a href="http://artbox7.com/299-complete-set.html">Complete Designer Set</a>.<br />
Here is my final result for this Photoshop template:</p>
<p><a href="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/psd3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-679" title="psd3" src="http://artbox7.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/psd3.jpg" alt="psd3" width="549" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day!</p>
