Hello

Today i am going to make Tutorial Number 131 from 500 Tutorial Marathon
I will show you how to create a Music Layout

Please start with a new document.
Size: 760x770 pixels
background color: black

Select background layer and press CTRL+J ( duplicate layer )
Then for this new layer add the following layer style

Select Rounded rectangle tool ( set the radius to 20 pixels and create a shape like in the following image )
please not that i have zoomed out the document.

After that please go to Edit > transform path> perspective, and change the shape like me

For this shape please add the following layer styles

this is my result

Now duplicate this shape, and with move tool place the shape on the left side. i will use another color. I am going to create with different colors like a rainbow.
What you need to do is to duplicate the shape with red stroke, and place it on the left side. then you need to change the color in the stroke settings

Duplicate this shape a few times. Here you can see my result

Select all this layers with different stroke colors,

then press CTRL+E ( this will merge all the layers into a single layer )

Now duplicate this layer(CTRL+J ) with rainbow colors and go to Edit > transform > Flip Horizontal

then with move tool place the second layer like me

Now create a new shape with Rounded rectangle tool ( set the radius to 6 pixels )

After that open the following image in photoshop

after you open this leather texture please go to Edit > define pattern
Choose a name for your pattern and click ok.
You can also close the leather texture document

Now let's come back to the layout.
For this black shape add the following layer styles

this is my result

With the same tool ( rounded rectangle tool ) create a new white shape

then download the following PNG file,

Open this image in photoshop, then drag it to your layout and place it like me

Then add another images from your stock collection

After that i will use a brush from this package Talk-Mania big-Pack

i will try to create a bookmark.

Change the color to Green # 00781f. You can use Paint bucket tool

Then with Burn , and Dodge toll try to add some lights and shadows

then for this bookmark layer you can add the following layer styles

for the pattern overlay you can use the same leather texture

this is my result

now please add alone some text, and some images.
