Nokia 5300 Cell phone interface
This tutorial shows you how to use multiple vector shapes, layer styles, and various tools to create a mobile phone design. It’s a nice design with multiple small details explained.
Start working by creating a new file (File>New) of 1280×1024 px and 72 dpi.
Then we should select the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent the background of the picture we’ll get on the final stage.

Next we shall select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) (radius 55 px) to draw the cell phone body. Then press SHIFT button while using again the same tool with a radius of 2 px and this time to represent three prominences for the lateral buttons. Using the Add Anchior Point Tool, it’s possible to add one more top on the bottom part of the body for getting a correct shape. The layer’s color is #E4E5E6

Press Alt button on the same layer while making a mouse click between the red layer and the layer belonging to the phone’s body (on the layers’ panel).
Next we shall apply the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) with a radius of 40 px to represent the next layer belonging to the cell phone’s body. Use again the Add Anchior Point Tool to insert one more top on the bottom part. Select the Convert Point Tool to make the appropriate corrections on the layer’s shape. Its color is #D1D3D4
