Photoshop Create A Software Box Photoshop Tutorial PDF
Today we wll be mostly creating a fake software box within photoshop that could be used if you
are selling software programs or web scripts from a site but dont have an actual physical box that
you can photograph.
The finished box will look like this :
Pretty snazzy, and can be customised to fit your product incorporating your corporate colors and
logos etc. Ok, to start off draw out a rectangle box which will be the main side of the box,
duplicate this layer and then chop a bit off which will be the side panel, like so :
Now, draw out a slim stripe across the whole box, using the rectangular marquee tool on a new
layer and fill it with a dark grey - then highlight the bits wher it overlaps, again with the marquee
tool and delete those so it looks like this :
Now draw another larger rectangle on a new layer, the same as before and fill it with a gradient
of the color you’d like to use for the main area - for this tutorial we used a #1361B6 to #0886EA
blue gradient :
Now create a new layer and draw an elipse like so :
Fill this shape with the same colored gradient you used for the first one but do it reversed (dark
at the top, light at the bottom), now right click this layer in the layer window, select ‘blending
options’ and change the blend mode to ‘hard light’ :
Next up, we need an image of a person - I chose to use a woman with a headset, there are loads
available at istockphoto so grab something suitable from there. I cut the womans head out and
resized her to a suitable size, this is how I positioned her :
Duplicate the layer with the person on and hide the original - go to filter > motion blur and use
these settings :
Now right click this layer and change to ‘overlay’, shift this layer over to the right and you will
have this :
Now we’re going to add a seal to it, select the custom shape tool and choose the flower shape :
Add this in and put some text over the top like so :
Now duplicate the blurred image of the woman layer, right click it in the layer window and
change the blend mode to this setting :
Now, with the layer selected press the right arrow and move it over to the the side panel of the
box and delete any bits the fall outside the panel to add a bit more random pattern to it:
