Here is another useful tutorial I have made for you experienced and learning graphic designers. If you are stuck making something in Photoshop then ask me to do a tutorial to help you!




Skill Level Required: Intermediate




Firstly create a new canvas with the sizes of 470 x 135, with a resolution of 72. Make sure you make the background content 'Transparent'.

After that you're ready to make the base shape, click the shape tool button located on the left of Photoshop.

Now copy the values above into the top bar when you select rounded rectangle.




Now we want to add effects to the rounded shape. The effects we are going to add are extremely good for web pages design.

Inner Shadow

If it doesn't go back and re-check the steps, if it does read ahead!




Adding Text

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Simply click the Text tool or 'T' then select horizontal type tool.

Then just click your mouse on the canvas to create the text, we are going for the font HelveticaNeue with a size of 13 pt using the colour #e4e4e4 and the text type as Crisp.




Adding text effects

Now you have your text, we only need a little bit of drop shadow for this one so copy the drop shadow below.
