Making your own portfolio web page
April 23rd, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Web Layout
Choosing the Rectangle Tool (U), try to create the layers reserved for introducing the titles of the sections and the lateral menus:
Insert the titles for the sections and for the lateral menus. The titles consist of two words, each of them situated on a separate layer:
We should set the same parameters for the first words of the titles: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay
Gradient’s parameters:
It’s time to write a welcome slogan for our personal page. The words welcome to should be written on a separate layer and the next words – my page – on another one:
For the last layers we shall apply the same parameters we have applied for the site’s name:
Take now the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent the layers that will contain the photos of the site’s author.
Set the same parameters for the new layers: Blending Options>Stroke

It is a great tutorial, and very well explained. However like many other tutorials around the web it lacks the next stage – converting this design to XHTML and CSS. It would be nice to see how the concept can be made into reality.

Yes, where could I go to learn how to convert a design such as this to XHTML / CSS ? I would like to use Joomla as the CMS..

Beutiful design I must say. I am sure going to try this one out myself.
About people asking how to convert the design into a web page and it’s just simple html/css coding really. Just save all the images you need to use (background, menu buttons, the headlines and the scroll bar, if you want to use it. I would recomend using the “opacity” property in css or save just 1px of the content background as an half transparent image (.png) and use that as background. You don’t want to save the entire content background as an image because then you have alot of work to do if yoy want to extend your page with more content.
There are a lot of css-tutorials out there and it’s mostly just divs with the properties padding, background, float, width and height you need.
Good luck to you!

For those who ask about converting the design to html, I found a photoshop plugin that supposedly makes it a 5-minute-job. Haven’t tried it, but I’m about to. It’s called Divine, and here’s the link

What’s the point of using the gradient overlay panel when you just end up with a solid color?

aweful tutorials for beginners. none of the dimensions for shapes are included, making it very frustrating when trying to replicate what you have here

It would be nice if the instructions were in English. I cant understand 1/2 of what its trying to say. Besides I got everything working except the photo image straddles the dividing rectangle, not hidden behind like in the example. What am I missing?

State of the Art tutorial…. Superb graphics and color combinations. The layout is neat and methods used in Photoshop is really professional. But how about moving to a bit more advanced and make it to a reality, ae. if you can explain the conversion to XHTML & CSS of the Photoshop artwork!
