Design a Colorful Template Design in Photoshop
Step 1:
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 1000×900 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. On the tools palette set your foreground color to #FFEBC7 color shade and set the background color to #C5D1E0 color shade. Now select the Gradient Tool and on the options palette choose linear gradient. Then apply a gradient effect on your canvas. ![]() Step 2: Now Create a Colorful Header or download the PSD and insert into your canvas. ![]() Step 3: Create a new layer and draw a large white rectangle with 960×621 px dimensions, this will be the body of the template. Connect the white rectangle with your header. ![]() Step 4: Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow blending option to the large white rectangle layer. ![]() ![]() Step 5: Create a new layer set and name it ‘Content Box’. In a new layer draw a rectangle with 522×29 px dimensions and #C3D1E1 color shade just below your header space. This rectangle will hold the title of your content box. ![]() Step 6: Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your light purple rectangle layer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Step 7: Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Verdana, bold, 12 pt, none and #4C5F75 color shade. In a new text layer type the title of your first content box. ![]() Step 8: Create a new layer, below your content title draw a rectangle with 522 x 164 px dimensions and #FFE5C7 color shade. Make sure you leave some white space between your title box and the content box. ![]() Step 9: Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option to your content rectangle layer. ![]() ![]() Step 10: Add some content plus post information such as author, date etc. ![]() Step 11: Add more content box below each other. ![]() Step 12: Now add your sidebar content using the same design from the content boxes. Here we added a sidebar section for Latest Comments and Fresh Content. ![]() Step 13: Add a Rectangle Advertisement spot below your sidebar sections. ![]() Step 14: Next to your Sidebar make use of the white space for a couple of125 x 125 advertisement banners. ![]() ![]() Step 15: Outside your large white rectangle add a simple footer design with your navigation links. ![]() Step 27: That’s it your done.
