65 Splash Page

Hello

This is the Tutorial number 65 from the 100 Marathon Tutorial
As i have told you i will try to add a tutorial each day.

Today i will show you how to create a splash page



Open a new document in photoshop
Size 600 x 600 pixels
Color #333333 ( or a dark grey )

Select ellipse tool and make one simple circle



then add the following layer styles







Then be sure you have selected this layer, then go to Edit > Transform > Warp

then choose Shell Upper from the custom drop down menu



Then hit Enter on your keyboard, and you will have this result



Duplicate this layer one time, then resize it



Then with your arrow keys place the second layer in the middle of the initial one



For this second layer please add the following layer styles















This is my result



Now Select Ellipse Tool and create another circle



As you have noticed i have used the same settings for the layer styles:







Nov with this layer selected go to Edit > Transform > Warp, and select Inflate



Do not forget to hit Enter

Then duplicate this layer, and change the size one more time ( make it smaller ) and place it with your arrow keys in the middle ( you can use the alignment tool )



Then add the following layer styles for the top layer









This is my result



Then add some text " ENTER "



Select The Line Tool ( set the weight to 1 pixel ) and make a simple line like in the next image



Then with the line layer selected, press on Add layer mask



Select Gradient Tool ( set to reflected gradient )



Then draw a line following the blue arrow from the next image



Duplicate this layer ( with the thin line ) and place it like in the next image



Now select all the layers ( without the background layer ) and drag all the layers to the " create new layer " button from your layer palette
This will duplicate all the layers



Now press on CTRL+E ( this will merge the duplicate layers into a single one )
now go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical



With your arrow keys place this layer like in the following image ( we will create a reflection )



be sure you have the reflection layer selected, then press on " Add layer mask "



Grab the Gradient Tool one more time, and make a vertical line ( following the blue arrow )



Now reduce the opacity for this layer



This is my final image
