now we are here in the magical world of photoshop i have already taken an image for today's tutorial
also i download some images if you like you can download the images the links in the
description and also i remove the background you can take your own image and remove the background
now go to the file and take a new document now take a 1920 by 1080 pixel size document
then take the roller and make a guide to the document
then go to the adjustments layer and take solid color choose a blue color for the background
then go to the toolbar and take the pen tool change the path into shape then follow my
steps and create a shape in the right bottom corner take your time and do that perfectly
after creating the shape change the color into blue
then double click on the layer and apply the drop shadow adjust the drop shadow according to your
needs then hit ok again create a path shape into the left top
corner
and also apply the drop shadow after that
we like to add a white stroke around the shape make a copy of the shape by pressing alt or option
then change the fill color into a non then use a white stroke
then take the direct selection tool and adjust the stroke a little bit
also do the same with another shape area
now we will add images in our design go to the png dollar image document take the image
and paste it to the main composition now take your time and adjust the images of the dollar
make some copy and adjust them properly do that like me or you can do as you like
after that select all the layers and merge the layers then change the blending mode into multiply
and decrease the fill then go to the adjustments layer and take solid color use black color
then select the layer mask take the brush tool and create a vignette type color
then change the blending mode into multiply
after that we will add our model go to the model layer
take the image and paste it to the main composition before anything i would like
to select all the background elements and create a group to organize the files
then make the image size smaller and place it perfectly
then double click on the image layer and apply a stroke
use 20 pixels to hit apply next we will add a border to thumbnail
go to the toolbar and take the rectangle tool apply the shape in the composition
then change the fill color into a non change the stroke mode inside
use white color and then take 20 pixels
after that press ctrl or command plus j to make another copy
then make the size smaller to create a frame like mine
take the model layer back to the frame now i will add some small elements into my design
you just follow my step to create these small elements into the design
just follow my steps these elements are very easy to create and use in the design and these
elements make the design more eye-catching do that exactly like me and follow my steps
after adding the elements we would like to add text into our design
add all the information text into the thumbnail
adjust the size according to the text
press control or command plus t to open free transform make the text
size bigger then press ctrl or command on your keyboard and make an angle to the text
again adjust the text a little bit
now you can see we are almost done for the final we will add a layer style to the text double click
on the text layer then apply the gradient adjust the gradient according to your needs
i will go with a yellow and orange gradient
then apply a stroke to the text take 10 pixels stroke
then apply a bevel and emboss change style into stroke emboss and adjust the effect perfectly
then apply the outer glow and adjust the outer glow perfectly as you want
then hit ok next press alt or option on your keyboard take the effect and
paste it to the other texts again adjust the effect and increase the stroke size
and also adjust the effect a little bit hit ok adjust the text effect according to the size
again i would like to add more text press alt and click and drag to create a copy
then add another information in the design adjust the text effect according to your
needs for the final we will organize the layers by creating groups
