Please make a new document. size should be 760x770 Pixels. Use a White background for this document
Open this image in Photoshop.
Then duplicate the layer. to duplicate the layer be sure you have the background layer selected, then press on CTRL+J
After you have a safety copy please go to Filter > Sketch > Photocopy and use the following values
now press on CTRL+I ( invert ). You will have something like me
With Eraser tool , try to delete the imperfection from your image, and the bottom part of the image
My result
Select Rectangle Tool and create a simple shape with black color. place the shape like me
Now please go to
www.photo-shop-brush.com ( a Talk-Mania Website ) and download some brushes which you think are good for our next job
I am going to delete some parts of this black shape, after i rasterize the shape
To rasterize the shape please go to Layer > Rasterize > Shape

Next step is to create another details

Please create a new layer each time you are trying to add more details.

You can see on the next image that i have used a simple brush with some nice arrows.
After that i have used some small brush circles and i have created a lot of different circles.
If you look carefully you can notice that i have used only 2-3 brushes, but with different sizes
In the next image you can see a similar design for the bottom part of our layout. i have created this type of drawings very simple.I will alternate the color of my brush. One time i will use black, one time i will use white.
For this steps i really can not show you how it is done. just use your imagination and use different brush sizes
I will use another set of brushes for the left part of the layout. some brushes are included in Talk-Mania Big-pack, and some are free
Now i will add some text on the left side of our layout
After that i will add another text for the body of our layout
You can see that i have used another brushes to add another minor details. all this brushes you can find on
