Design studio – web page layout
September 5th, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Web Layout
Create a professional design studio layout with easy and detailed instructions.
Final Image Preview
For the beginning create a new file (File>New) of 850×912 px and 72 dpi. Applying the Paint Bucket Tool (G), fill the new file with some color – #191E24
Create a new layer where must use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to represent several rectangle elements, colored with those codes indicated below (create for each element new layer).
Using the Eraser Tool (E), erase off 3 px out of each rectangle’s corners, as it is shown below. This way we can round up their corners.
Make a copy of the last 4 layers (Ctrl+J), put the duplicated layers in a single layer using Merge Down (Ctrl+E), move this layer under layers with rectangle elements in Layers Palette and apply the effects of the next filter’s selection: Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur…
You must get the same thing from below:
Get back to the rectangle elements, choosing for each of them the next parameters of Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss (make a mouse click on the layer we work with on the layers’ palette).
Next you may see the gradient’s parameters, each of the elements getting its own color.
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay
Gradient Editor
You may see demonstrated below the gradients for each rectangle element.
On this stage you must get the thing from below:
Now select again the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and represent on a new layer four other rectangles as the picture from below shows it. Fill the new elements with white color, applying the Paint Bucket Tool (G). The Opacity is of 20%.
Now it’s time to choose another instrument – the Pen Tool (P) to draw a line like below:
Next select the brush’s presets and set the parameters from below:

To charitrajain and Bloque: when you select Pen Tool in the top menu you have 3 icons: a square with little dots in each corner, square with pen inside and just square. By default, first option is selected. Just select second option so You will have stroke without fill

The pentool trick is nice. the one part the guy missed was to show that you will have to turn on “simulate pressure” in the stroke path dialog box………that will get the edges sharp.
the tutorial is actually very nice. ty!

I was confused on how to make the lines after you do the simulate pressure with the pen line. I got past the rainbow part, but after than, your tutorial says to make some lines “Without Blending Options”. How do you do that?
