Resources for this tutorial

• Search
• Social Icons

Step 1: Setting up the Document

Start by creating a 1200px x 1700px document in Photoshop.

Ruler Tool is very useful for this tutorial make sure that rulers and guides is turned on.

• Rulers: Ctrl + R
• Guides: Ctrl + ;

Also one thing important in using Ruler Tool is the Info (Information) Panel. The use of this is when you are measuring using the ruler the information will be shown in the information panel. Make sure that this is shown in your panels at the right. If it is not shown you can access this by going to Windows – Info.

The total width of your site will be 960px. So, let’s create our 1st guide by going to View – New Guide, set the value to 120px. Repeat the step of create a guide but now change the value to 1080px, this will make a total of 960px to the center of our canvas.

Step 2: Working on Background

Start by filling the background layer with #081010. Next, we will create a grid pattern. Create a new document 20px by 20px background transparent.

Using Pencil Tool with a fill color of #ffffff create a pattern as shown in the screenshot below.

To create a pattern go to Edit – Define Pattern. Now that we have created the pattern using Paint Bucket Tool and set it to Pattern, choose the pattern we have created and fill it to the canvas. Make sure that it is in a new layer.

After filling the pattern set the layer mode to Soft Light and set the Opacity to 50%.

Step 3: Working on Header

The header section will contain a Logo, Navigation, and Search bar. To make it organize create 3 folders for us to place the layers for logo, navigation, and search bar. To start we will make a base shape to hold all the elements in our header. Using Rectangle Tool create a 960px by 50px rectangle. Any color will do because we will be applying layer styles on it.

Apply this Blending Option

• Gradient Overlay: #353535, #505050

• Stroke: #081010

Logo

Font I used is Helvetica Black 24pt.

Apply this Blending Option

• Drop Shadow: #000000

• Gradient Overlay: #92b4b5, #ffffff

Navigation

Navigation will contain links and dividers. Links will have a distance of 18px left and right from the dividers. Navigation start 208px from the logo. Measure it using Ruler Tool.

Using Rectangular Marquee Tool create a 1px selection starting from the said distance. Now, select Gradient Tool foreground to transparent, set the foreground color to #4f4f4f, and lastly start filling the selection starting from bottom to top.

Using Line Tool create another 1px line with a fill color of #081010.

As I said earlier links will be 18px distance from the dividers. For the links I used Helvetica Roman 14pt.

Notice at the screenshot above every dividers and links I distanced it 18px. Just repeat until you finish the navigation. Navigation links will contain world, business, sports, tech, web, science. When you’re done. Duplicate the Text, make the original text color #1b1b1b and move it 1px above.

The remaining space will be for our Search Bar.

Search Bar

To start select Rounded Rectangle Tool set the Radius to 20px, create a shape as shown in the screenshot below with a fill color of #363636.

Last step, add the Search Icon, resize it and place it as shown in the screenshot below.

Step 4: Working on Slider

We will add a noise to our base layer. To do this, go to Filter – Convert to Smart Filter, go to Filter – Noise – Add Noise – 1

Grab some sample pictures the sizes will be 300px by 200px for the image preview and 60px by 60px for the thumbnails. Place it as shown in the screenshot below.

For our read more button select first the Rectangle Tool and create a 80px by 25px shape, place it as shown in the screenshot below.

Using Pencil Tool create an arrow and place it as shown in the screenshot below. Make sure that it is on a separate layer.

We will mask the arrow that we have created to the Rectangle shape that we made. Make a selection to the arrow layer, while it is selected Inverse the selection Ctrl + Shift + I and select the Rectangle layer and click the Mask Icon beside the FX Icon. When you’re done hide the arrow layer or delete it.

Change the rectangle color to #fea702

Using Text Tool with a size of 12pt Helvetica Roman #ffffff add a read more text and place it on the center. When you’re done duplicate the shape and move 1px to the top, change the color to #cb8500.

Last thing we need to do is add a divider. Just simply use Text Tool and press the key beside 0. Make the fill color #4e4e4e, duplicate the text layer and make the original layer to #ffffff.
