Learn how to create a website layout in PhotoshopNB: Credit Goes To TrendyPacks.comCurrently in this tutorial I will teach you how to create a similar web layout in Photoshop but I will not cover the conversion PSD to XHTML. The tutorial on how to code this layout in XHTML it will be available on conversion of PSD to HTML To create this web layout I have used:
Let’s start the tutorial.
Next select Rectangle Tool and create this 3 shapes
For the first shape (1) I have used this color # 474b4c, dimensions: 1020 by 370px
Step 1 – Creating the logo and navigationOn the left side I will add my logo (here you should add yours) and on the right side using Rounded Rectangle Tool (with a radius of 15px) I will create this shape , dimensions: 627 by 84px
Then I will apply this layer styles
As you can see the navigation is quite big, but you don’t need to
worry because we will fix this when we will create the slideshow area.
Here is my final result for navigation
Step 2 – Creating the slideshow (featured area)Select Rectangle Tool and create this shape. Dimensions: 947 by 395px. The color doesn’t matter at this moment because we will apply some layer styles. Also please make sure that on your layer palette you will place this layer above the navigation layer, to cover a small portion of the navigation. Please see the screenshot
Next apply this layer styles:
On the left side I will add an image
Underneath the image, using Ellipse Tool I will create this shape
and I will apply a Gaussian blur (Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur, with a radius of 10px) to create a nice shadow. Underneath the shadow, using Ellipse Tool I will create the navigation for slideshow (I will add 3 circles)
Next on the right side, using Type Tool I will add some text. For the title I have used Verdana font with 30 px in size, than for the paragraph I have used Tahoma font with 12 px in size, next underneath the paragraph I will create a button using Rounded Rectangle Tool (radius 30px)
Now apply this layer styles for the button
Step 3 – Creating the content areaTo create the content area, select Rectangle Tool and create this shape. Dimensions: 947 by 514px and the color doesn’t matter because we will apply a gradient
Once you have something similar, apply this layer styles:
As you can see I have created 3 columns of text, but now I would like to make a separation between them. To do that I will select Line Tool and I will create this separators. Each separator has 2 lines of 1px width.
Please look at the zoomed image to understand better how to create this separators
Next at the bottom of the content area with Ellipse Tool I will add this shape
Then I will apply a Gaussian Blur (Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur) with a radius of 7px and with Rectangular Marque Tool I will make this selection.
Once you have a similar selection hit Delete on your keyboard than press Ctrl + D to deselect.
Next I will select Line Tool and I will add a black line, dimensions 852 by 1px. Please see the screenshot
As you can see I have created a nice shadow at the bottom of the content area as well. Step 4 – Creating the footerWell, to create the footer is quite easy. All you have to do is to
use Type Tool and to add some text, than with Rectangle Tool I have
created the Newsletter forms. |
