Fig. 1
|
Create
a new document, and add your desired background color.
Then
create a new layer (layer 1) and select the Rounded Rectangle
Tool and draw a shape similar to mine in figure 1.
PS!
Make sure the Create Filled Region is checked .
Then we can alter the shape later on without first having to rasterize
the layer .

Fig. 2
|
Then
download and add
this layerstyle. (Save it to the styles folder in PS 6 -
Presets - Styles).
Duplicate
the layer and call it layer 2 (oh yes - I'm just sooooo creative
with the layer names today :o)

Fig. 3
|
Still
at layer 2 select the Move Tool and drag out some helpful
Guides according to figure 3. You do this by simply clicking
and draging them out from the Rulers.
Then select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and make a selection
similar to mine. Make sure the Snap option is checked (View - Snap).

Then
hit the Delete key to get rid of the selected area. Deselect.
Now
repeat on the left side of the button.
|
|
Fig. 5
|
Go
back to layer 1 and duplicate it - layer 3.
Move this layer below the layer 1 layer and use the Free transform
tool to make it look like like fig. 5.
Then change the Drop Shadow layer style to Distance: 2 pixels
and Size: 5 pixels.

|
Fig. 6
|
Then
duplicate layer 3 - call it layer 4, and drag it below
the layer 3 layer.
Then I used the Edit - Transform - Scale option, and entered
Width: 103%, Height: 90%. |
|
Fig. 7
|
Now
go back to layer 1 and add a scanline Pattern Overlay
layer style. To do this just download
my scanline psd-file, open it in Photoshop - Select all
- Edit - Define pattern - and name it Scanlines.
(PS! To make the scanlines show I changed the Gradient Overlay
mode to MULTIPLY!)
To
see how my Pattern Overlay window looks like click
here.
Then change the Drop Shadow layer style to Distance: 2 pixels
and Size: 2 pixels.

My
final result.
Just
added some inset lines
to add some details...
