The .psd will also be available at the end. Step 1 Using the rounded rectangle tool with a radius of 3px, I created the shape that I was planning to use. I filled the shape with the colour #415d78. Step 2 Double click the layer, or right click the layer and go to blending options. Select Gradient Overlay. The settings I used where:- Step 3 Click Stroke: - Step 4 Next click Bevel and Emboss and use the following settings. (May need to alter them slightly for your image) Step 5 Select Inner Glow, and use the following settings: Layer 1 - Finished Step 6 - Layer 2 (The text container) Create another shape, I created another rounded rectangle with radius 3. Filled this with f5d03e Step 7 Right click layer 2, and select blending options. Go to Stroke and use the following settings.

It is ashame because I was thinking this could have been remade a different way But I cannot test it. I find this interesting, that it was done completely out of effects. It's not uncommon. But it is uncommon to see a whole tutorial out of it I guess it's easier for people newer to the field to learn from it. As for the blending options, you could change that to bring out different affects. OVerall not a bad tutorial 7/10 Back to Top - Link to Post   Printable View Choose SkinOriginalslip.wr.blu
