Photoshop Plasma TV Design Tutorial

Photoshop Plasma TV

Here is a preview of what your completed Black Plasma TV will look like.

Now let’s get started…

Steps 1 through 8

Step 1:

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×300 pixels canvas
set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. In a new
layer draw a black rectangle with 385 x 180 px dimensions.


Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your black rectangle layer.

Step 3:

Your black rectangle should now have a gradient design with a thick black border.

Step 4:

Create a new layer, below the screen of your Plasma draw a smaller black rectangle with 175 x 21 px dimensions.

Step 5:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your black rectangle layer.

Step 6:

Your second black rectangle should now have a light gradient effect.

Step 7:

Create a new layer, below the second black rectangle draw a thin black rectangle with 187 x 7 px dimensions.

Step 8:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your thin black rectangle.

Steps 9 through 16

Step 9:

Create a new layer, on the left side of the screen draw a black rectangle with 36 x 181 px dimensions.

Step 10:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option to your black rectangle layer from step nine.

Step 11:

Now create another new layer and next to the plasma screen draw a white rectangle with 43 x 181 px dimensions.

Step 12:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and
Gradient Overlay blending options to your white rectangle layer.

Step 13:

Add the same design structure for the right side of the plasma.

Step 14:

Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the
options palette set the font family to Arial, bold, 7 pt, strong and
#333333 color shade. In a new text layer type the brand name of your
plasma just below the screen.

Step 15:

Now insert a picture with 365 x 148 px dimensions on the center screen.
You can save the picture below if you want to use the same picture.

Step 16:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow and Stroke blending options to your picture layer.

The final design

And there you have it your Black Plasma TV Design.
