Submit Query
The Final Result
Let's Start the Tutorial
Step 1
Open your empty browser template Safari_Starterkit.psd (in your resources folder of this tutorial.) if you read our first tutorial, i had explained why
we are working in browser template psd.
Step 2
First we need safe area for our design. You must keep your work in safe area based on general user screen sizes. I'm using 980px wide . Hit M and select Rectangular Margue tool and open your info window (F8 shortcut on window) then select area 980px wide.
Step 3
Hit CTRL+R for show/hide rules and drag two on vertical guide lines to stage. See picture below. (How to create guide lines? : if you want to create vertical guide line, go to on vertical rules, staying left hand side on your work space. Left click on vertical rules and drag a line to stage)
Step 4
Change your background color to #1b1b1b
Step 5
Now we create top side of our design. Hit M key and select Rectangular Margue tool and select area like this
Step 6
go to your Layer window and fill selected area with gradient.
Step 7
Use following setting for gradient. Colors #5bd6ae to #5b9bd6
Step 8
Now fun part starting =) . Hit M key select Rectangular Margue tool and select area, after selecting area right click on it and select Feather from list.
Step 9
Set Feather Radius to 100 pixel
Step 10
We got smooth corners! but not finished. Once again right click on it and select inverse from list.
Step 11
Now hit Delete key 2-3 times.
Stop when get result similar to this
Step 12
We just erase left and right side of our shape and looking great. Now we need to do same style for bottom part. Hit M key and select area.
Step 13
Right click in selected area and set Feather Radius to 75 pixel
Step 14
hit delete again and again.
Step 15
Yes! we got great and smoot graphic but it looks like little muted. So just duplicate it =)
Close up detail
Step 16
Now i need 1 pixel highlighted line at top of my shape. Select Pencil tool and right click on your work area and get 1px brush from library
Step 17
Draw a horizontal line from A to B point
Step 18
We need to erase left and right of our line for nice looking. Get eraser and select 300px eraser brush from library
Step 19
Set eraser brush opacity to %20 and erase it slowly =)
Step 20
When you finish erase, set your drawed line layer mode to Soft Light. Wo-hoo!
Step 21
You know we erased our shape. If we put anything below of our shape, it can't be hide because our shape has erased/smoot bounds. So we need to create solid color behind of our shape. After this we will create tabs menu! Hit M and select area
Step 22
Go to your layer window and click Fill/Adjustments icon from bottom of panel and select solid color with #1b1b1b (our background color)
- White bg color just showed for demostration
Step 23
Now I want to create stamp effected logo but before this,write Elune with Amorinda Alternativa font ( you can find this in your resources folder).
Step 24
Select your document area and click to Align Horizontal Center icon.it will align our Elune text to middle of selected area. See picture below
Step 25
Double click on Elune layer and change layer style with following settings
Final result !
Step 26
Let's create menu tabs =) Select Rounded Rectangular Tool, set radius to 8px and draw a shape like this one
Step 27
Hit CTRL+T (free transform) and push CTRL+ALT+SHIFT together and change bottom part of your shape. see picture below
Step 28
Go to your layer window and click Fill/Adjustments icon from bottom of panel and select Gradient from list. Use following gradient settings
Color #427289 to #427289 (right hand side color opacity must be zero for transparency)
your final result should looks like this
Step 29
We need to resize this shape. Get Direct Selection Tool from your pshop toolbox and select only right side of our shape.
Step 30
Shape resized and now i wan't to create a highlighted line for this tab. Push CTRL key and left click on mask layer of our shape. Great we select shape area! =P
Step 31
Open new layer and Hit M then right click on selected area and select Stroke from list. Select white for color.
Step 32
Get eraser tool and erase bottom parts, it will give little smooth transition to highlighted boarder.
Step 33
This tab shape has transparency too and i don't want this because we will put wood texture behind this. CTRL+left click to our shape mask and select shape area
Step 34
go to your layer window and click Fill/Adjustments icon from bottom of panel and select Solid color. Fill it with #1b1b1b (our background color)
Step 35
Tab menu design finished but we need three more. So select tab menu layers and merge them (CTRL+E) and duplicate this merged layer
Step 36
Let's put our wood texture to behind of tab menu. Open Wood_texture.jpg from your resources folder and hit CTRL+A (select all) and hit CTRL+C(copy :P) then close it wood texture file.
Step 37
Hit CTRL+V and paste into your work space and drag to top. You see wood texture width larger then our document width. So go to your layer window and move your mouse pointer between wood texture and Page Background layer. When you see two circle icon, it means you can mask your wood texture to Page background layer.
Step 38
Duplicate Elune layer, change font size and write your menu texts on tabbed menu =)
Final result
Step 39
I just want to create little differece between active(selected) - unselected menu items. Double click on home typed layer and open layer style. Give Outer Glow with following settings Color #4f9bbe

Step 40
i want more visual effect for active menu item nihihi [pathetic designer laugh]. Select Ellipse Tool and create a shape like this :
Step 41
Go to your layer window and click Fill/Adjustments icon from bottom of panel and select Solid color. Fill it with #55c2f1
Step 42
Yes we need smooth edges so go to top menu bar Filter select Blur and select Gaussian Blur Set Gaussian Blur Radius 11 pixel

Step 43
Type someting like this with big fonts
Step 44

Step 49
Go to top menu "Select" > Modify > expand Expand by 1 pixel

Step 53
Hit CTRL+T for free transform Move points like this one :
After moving points, now we need nicely bend effect for middle. Right click in transform area and select Warp get similar result like this and hit
right side enter key on your keyboard, it will apply transform.
Step 54
We create shadow shape but we need smooth edges for more realistic shadow look. Go to top pshop menu and select Blur > Gaussian Blur Set blurradius to 8 pixels
Step 55
I don't want to see shadow staying at outside of base shape so CTRL+T and move left and right edges of shadow shape. See picture below
Final result and general look of our design
Step 56
Let's put some sample work in our showcase area. Ctrl+Left click to our black shape layer mask (staying at top of showcase layers) and select area and go to your layer window and click Fill/Adjustments icon from bottom of panel and select Solid color. Fill it with #000000
We need little space between wood texture and sample work image.So go to top menu again and "Select" > Modify > Contract Set Contract by 10pixels
Step 57
Then open any image from your comp (I got this one) and open in photoshop. CTRL+A then CTRL+C and CTRL+V (paste :P) into you work area. Mask it with 10pixel contracted shape (remember step 56)
Step 58

Step 75
Create a header for this box
Step 76
And some dummy texts =)
Wo-hooo general look and feeling are great!
Step 77
Just need little fine tune on "latest blog posts" box. i don't like line seperators between blog posts headers. Let's change them with dotted lines.
Get Pencil tool 1 pixel brush
Step 78
Now we'll learn new photoshop brush feature =) open your brush window and go to Brush Tip Shape tab and set brush spacing rate to %400
Step 79
Just draw it, ta da dotted lines! =) Reduce layer opacity to %20

Step 83
Select Rounded Rectangle tool (set shape radius to 15 pixel) and create a shape on mini wood texture then hit CTRL+Enter for area selection, applymask to mini wood texture layer. ( I hope you remember how to mask? If not please read first steps)
Duplicate little wood textured dim button and copy/paste our showcase prev/next button layer style on it (we already create style for buttons, so we
can use this easly).
Step 83
Select 1 pixel Pencil tool, set color to white and draw line between two lightbulps
Change layer style of this line layer, add a gradient overlay and use following settings please
Step 84
Little details on dim button

Yes right side box need to be large then left one. So select blueish shape layer and hit CTRL+T and resize it.
Step 87
We need to fix top rigth side wood texture. Select wood texture layer mask and hit M and select top area.
Quick Tip: Actually our wood texture layer very large but we are limiting visible areas of wood texture with mask. This is the reason why we are using masking Vs deleting parts. If you work with masks, you are more flexible...
Push Alt+Backspace fo fill mask area. See picture below for details
Step 88
Yep our top highlight 1 px line must fit with our new shape witdh. So hit M key and follow details
Final result of top highlighted line

Discobiscut May 27, 2009, 4:05 am Ok I know this is completly noobish and I am sorry.I love the tutorial. I have good photoshop skills and can reproduce your results I am working on a portfolio website, started in indesign but will take it to psd as you have done here.Ok here is the dumb question how do you then make that a website? Hi James, after finishing design you must slice them for HTML/CSS and then you need Content Management System (CMS) for easy upload/publish. You can look around for common CMS like Wordpress. But those steps need knowladge about website bulding becouse there lots of ways for it so i think when you done with desing, find a developer guy for converting design to real website.Reply to this comment
