56 Elegant business layout

Hello

This is the Tutorial number 56 from the 100 Marathon Tutorial
As i have told you i will try to add a tutorial each day.

Today i will continue my marathon. I will try to make a clean layout:



Open a new document in photoshop. Select Rounded Rectangle Tool , set the radius to 10 pixels and create 3 shapes like in the following image.
please not that i will use a grey color for this shapes, so you can see what i am trying to do. Please use a white color.



Then apply the following layer styles on all this shapes ( do not forget to change the color of your shapes to white )





This is the result



Now duplicate all the layers. Select Move Tool and change the size of your shapes ( in the next image you will see some blue shapes. - One more time i have used another color because it is easier for you to see )



Then apply the following layer style for all blue shapes





This is my result



Select the layer from header and press on the layer thumbnail while you keep pressed the CTRL key



After you press on the layer thumbnails you will see a selection :



Go to Select > Modify > Contract ( chose contract to 5 pixels ) and press OK



Create a new layer ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N ) Then fill your selection with this color #586f99



Select Rounded Rectangle Tool and create another 3 rectangles



And add the same layer style as above





This is the result



Then add some text



Select Line Tool and make some lines under your text and also another text



Now open a new document 5 x 5 pixels with a white background
Select pencil Tool ( 1 pixel brush ),
Create a new Layer ( CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N)
Zoom your document to 1600 % and start creating a arrow



Then drag this layer on your layout, and place it like me



I will add a few stock images, a logo and some text buttons



Then Choose your type Tool and write some minus signs " ------ " between your text buttons



Make a new document in photoshop ( 9x9 pixels ) with a black background
Create a new layer ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N )
Zoom your document to 1600 %
Select your Pencil Tool ( brush size 1 pixel ) and create the following drawing with white color



Then drag this layer on the layout , near your text buttons



Now we will create another 3 rectangles , and you can add the same layer styles:





This is my result



You can add alone some text and you are ready.
