Water Reflection in Photoshop!
Step 1
Open a new Photoshop document with a black background. Import in your document a picture like the below:
Step 2
Duplicate the layout with the picture and choose Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. Move the duplicate picture:
Step 3
Now Filter > Liquify and distort the duplicate picture. Choose the Brush Tool in the Tab Tools “Airbrush Soft Round 200” and delete a area to adjust the bottom of the duplicate picture. And the result:
Step 4
Create a new layer before the layer with the duplicate picture and draw a rectangle with the background color “#633100”. In the Tab Tools “Set the blending mode for layers” to “Color” and the result should be this:
Eco looking green website on photoshop!
Step 1
Open a new document in Adobe Photoshop of about 650x500 pixel. Fill it up with white. With your Rounded Rectangular Tool draw a rectangular. Go to Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay. Here set it just like below and make sure you check the “reverse” box.
Now to make those little flowers and grass. You take your Lasso Tool and start drawing flowers and leaves shapes. This is with what I came up with. They don`t have to be perfect and just need to look like some.
This is the picture I choose for the header, you can use anything you like.
For the menu, make a new document, draw in it a small rounded rectangular and fill it with the same green you ended the header of. Now cut it in two and drag and drop the parts on the website. I only have 3 buttons, but you can have as many as you like.
The header is done. So Ctrl+Right click on every layer, without the first layer and Merge Layers.
Step 2
For the text above use the following color (#708348). The title should be bigger and with “bold” or “strong” and the subtitle should be smaller and not ”strong”.
Step 3
Now the structure is ready. Depends on what theme will you pick for the website. Mine is a non-profit organization that is helping children. In the Box below you should add info and because of the colors you can divide it in sections.
Step 4
Now add the text and anything else you like and the layout is ready. Mine looks like this.

Christmas Tree Design
Step 1
Open a new Adobe Photoshop document 400x400 pixels with transparent background. Make a new layer and with your Polygonal Lasso Tool draw the shape of a Christmas tree. Now click on Edit in Quick Mask Mode (Q).The shape will keep its form and color but the background will turn pink.
Step 2
Now go to Filter->Brush Strokes->Sprayed Strokes. Here set everything like in the image and your tree will start looking like a Christmas tree.
Exit Quick Mask Mode (Q) and deselect the shape. Fill the shape with #36541e. Now make sure the layer with the tree is selected and go to Filter->Stylize->Extrude.
You can see you have two small black lines. You can fix that with Clone Stamp Tool (S). This way the tree will look more real.
Step 3
In this step we will decorate the tree. I will use only red ribbon, because it gives a warm look. The red ribbon I used is this:
After the ribbon is time to add some presents under the tree. I used these two pictures.
Before adding the present go to Layer 1 and fill it with white. This way the present will look better.
Here is what I come up with.
iTunes Remote Control
Open new document 500x300 pixels. Choose as background color a dark color or anything else but not white or light colors. Make a new layer and with your Rounded Rectangular Tool draw a rectangular and fill it up with white.
Add some shadow by going to Layer->Layer Style->Drop Shadow and setting everything like in the image.
Step 2
Make a new layer. Set the foreground color to #e8e6cf. In the upper right corner, not to close to the edge, draw a rectangular. Because the foreground is that light yellow, the rectangular will have the same color.
Go to Layer->Layer Style->Inner Shadow to add some shadow to the new rectangular. Set everything like in the image.
To add some glassy effect, open another layer. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool draw a rectangular over the upper half of the yellow rectangular. Fill it with white and set the opacity to 29%. Now add some text.
Step 3
Open a new layer. With your Elliptical Marquee Tool draw a circle in the left side of the remote (that is empty). Fill it up with Gradient. Use #f5f5f5 and #ebecee.
To look like a button, add some shadow. Layer->Layer Style->Drop Shadow.
The remote is done. The final result should look like this.
