Let’s start as usual with a new document. The size doesn’t matter. I m using 760 X 770 pixels
Copy the following image on your computer
Open this image in photoshop, then go to Edit > Define pattern. Chose a name for this grass pattern, and click OK.
Create a new layer ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N ) in the same time
Grab Paint bucket tool, and Set source for fill area to : pattern
Then on the layer we just created, add this gradient with Paint bucket tool
Set the foreground color to #120c0c , and with brush tool, you can draw at the bottom of your layout, until you have the following result:
Now with rounded rectangle tool, add some buttons
for all these shapes add the following layer style
Here is my result
Now i will add some images on the bottom part of the layout, and in the same time i will add also some text
Under the numbers, i will add a Grey rectangle. i will create this shape with rectangle tool
With type tool, i will write some minus signs
I will duplicate this layer with minus signs , and i will rotate it 90 degrees ( to rotate a layer first you need to select it, then go to Edit >
transform > rotate 90
this is my layout so far
On the header i will add a plane icon
If you have
Photoshop Designer's pack you will find some nice brushes for the next step. i want to add like a scarf at the end of our plane
You will find this brush in the " banners " folder
I am sure you will find another type of banner/ scarf in this set
If you don't have the
photoshop designer's pack, you can create this scarf with pen tool
In the next image you can see how i placed the scarf, at the end of the plane
To create a more realistic effect i will add some lines
I will select brush tool, and with a small rounded brush i will create a few points ( i will use the same color as the sky )
To select the same color you can use Eyedropper tool
this is my result
