Hello my friends.

Another day means another tutorial here on Talk-Mania.com

Today i will create Tutorial number 165 from our 500 Tutorials Marathon
In this tutorial i will show you how easy is to create a great layout with a simple old paper texture image

this is my final layout



To create this layout you need a papyrus image, or an old paper image ( Thank you Tutmaster for giving me this image to work with )
When you have such an image, place that image on the middle of your layout



For this layer please add a simple shadow. to add a shadow please be sure you have the layout selected, then go to Layer > Layer styles > Drop Shadow



and add the following settings



This is my result : nothing to fancy, but remember, each simple detail will result in a great looking layout



With Polygonal Lasso Tool, create a selection like in the following image.



With this selection we will create some buttons. Be sure you have the first layer selected



then press on CTRL+J

you will see another layer above the first one. I will rename this layer button



Select this layer button , and go to Edit > Transform > Rotate 180
With move tool place the small button on the top of the layout



Then drag this layer right above the background layer



Repeat the steps from above until you place as many buttons as you need

this is my result



Add some text



I want to change the colors for this buttons. the easy way is to use the HUE / Saturation option
To bring up the Hue saturation window , be sure you have the first button selected, then press on CTRL+U
Use the following settings if you want to use the same colors



this is my new button



Now change alone the colors for each button. this are my buttons



Now it is time to add some text and images on your layout. this is a very simple task and i don't think you will have problems



The layout is already looking quite good , but i think it will be nicer if we will add a good background. Please go to
rovere wood texture

download this image and place it right above the background layer



I don't like the actual image because it doesn't have the contrast i want. but i will desaturate this background image and i will have a nicer look. to

desaturate a layer, please go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate



This is my final result



I recommend you to download this layout if you want to understand better how it's made
