All right so now we mean out of Leo it'll pop in from work. All right so now. All the good."

" Do this week is we're going to actually create. A little product. Sometime back I've created Protestant community and chant that sort then I'd take this little guy. Take a little iPod nano.

" So now. We're gonna create something completely from scratch here I up. Always talk about. Looking at reality in order to be created a do photos studies of things to see how things are gonna work or make little models for myself well. We create these little guys so few years if you don't have one what you can easily go to Apple's website and download. Or just Google -- and and so on if billions of pictures out there available that you can use as reference if you want to. We create this seemed so what I want to do now is create this little guy here. So that -- money aside it's a second see what that means pretty simple but it's cool little buttons on -- want to be sure get those right tonic you can right there. So here's my -- some -- start off by creating a shift. Now going to do an innate layers suddenly pull out my mayors here and that's for the visible -- to create a new layer. And right here on -- take my. Primitive tool might rounded rectangle tool so that guy right there -- cut corners on going to. Select that and I have a radius control way up on top they were gonna bring that up to a thirty pixels and give me a nice rounded edge about the same round is that I have on the device itself. So create this -- us shape right here like so. That's going to be the shape of my mighty little a character now where to go well it happens to be. Using white as is background state. So it automatically came in his right now doesn't matter because we're going to do all kinds of things to. I want to go in there and avenue tone to this thing so I don't know watch the transparencies are good start to manipulate what I have this little go here pick some grays and get -- Nice and upgrade. Let's say about like that. Angle -- the dark to gray. About night that rating there and I -- little gradient. The radial gradient inside that shape I want to know exactly my shape is just totally -- write about like that. Little formality happen just a little thrown out. I'm gonna give that a little bit about texture as well and knows that there's texture on here really tiny little texture to go into my my text arising here. And on the use of sandstone mode in the scaling -- on the but none of these. Quite a bit that was just a little hint of a -- just the tiny text and there. And maybe get a little bit of pain but it noises well add noise just a little bit and -- say about. Double that's good to Cisco with a two. That gives me just enough noise click okay and there we have the basic shape now there is so nice to look her -- to the corners of the state some. Create that effect quickly by double clicking on that layer and getting aviator style going to give it a little battle of the boss they have my of the highlights of -- on top and darker on the bottom. And make them look bigger to match decides that the little device and I'm looking hat. And we could probably -- bring that highlight of the little bits with -- stronger and will put the light went off to the left like that. So click okay and there's my. Basic shape right so now we need to screen and -- another layer and you know what that's called these things what they are we'll call the first when the body. And this new label called the screen. I synonymous scream and get that same little rectangle tool. Except this time I'm gonna choose. Second choice yes second choice that's going to give me a -- is gonna create a pass. The first choice creates its shape Blair said interest rates a path to third choice as it did before -- simply -- to shape with pixels so now. I was using the difference between these are now I'm going there and bring that baby is down to say ten because I proceeded to -- little short -- and I'm pretty good shape right in here. Right there like so now it is a path so beauty of it is I can go in there and modified -- that goal here -- say that's just pull these guys out of little bit. Little more like that I get on looking at my actual device I can see them doing things over just a little bit and they're like that. And has been up to the -- there we go so bad that looks good great that. So now and a new live and a switch back to black and I think that happened -- that -- that is a screen now. All right so now another layer. And is here I'm gonna get my little circle. My lips tool and black. And I -- circle right in here tonight. That it is a path. Some -- go ahead and -- that -- with the black fit there it is now. Go to violators. This is a shape here and we had this nice little about on boss MMI looking at this little circle it's slightly. And started might be slightly somebody give that they're a little layer style and give that of them bosses well. But I'm gonna make it to the heart of with the hard edged. -- punch up my idea that's a good strong highlights and shadows and bring that side down to something about. That maybe the smallest go to one so get this little tiny edge right along that it's right -- just because that little list. Right so now inside the middle here I'm gonna select a little circle. To selecting a circle now I'm using the option alt on the PC and these shift key to give me a perfect circle from the Centre out this to come out like that. And there's got all right so now. From the bottom here from the body. -- selection so I'm in the body layer mistaken in new layer. To -- copy. All right so now when I think that you layer and bring it up here. Put it up in front. This go up in front there. Yeah. You get the -- got to come up. There this. I -- while there. I today is that the button its exact copy of the layer underneath got detection and I need everything. But be Obama -- strong some golden bubble -- it and bring that size down to something a little manageable about one like. The area above it right click okay and we'll call that button. Now. And I'm looking at this and noses who kind of an indentation to have but it's not just flat and the body of the device there's a little indentation in there. Some and a little indentation to this summer and add a layer on top of the whole thing. And that's like the little circle and yeah. After a little gradient and there little gradient black to white to -- like that affect Vista within your grade. They've got little black to white. I'm -- clip that. It's going to be selected on the clip that would the button hold down my option key and there it is inside but I'm gonna bring down capacity. It's just a little hint. It's a little hint of highlights and shadows just enough to give it that sense that it's curves -- that there you just a little bit. So now we've got to go and and create the text in the switch to white. And I'm gonna get might text tool and write in here I'm going to click. Now when -- end menu. Because I see that's what it says right up there the menu so I got that I'm gonna bring it in place here Alex is gonna vote shrink it. Visually. And we're going to -- shrink this down to say so. And the way down. There's this little tiny word. And then I felt. Yeah then it's about right. Then my little menu word. Tonight they're real close we're close on this -- these little triangles happening is and I get my pen tool and create little triangle. Go straight down go cross and up and I got that it was shape this and a new layer with white I'm gonna take that path can go ahead and do it. So now. And select that little guy and duplicate -- straight across. Just like that. Then and create little box. Ready here just touching this guy to decide that. And let's knock off a little bit of the bottom kind of even it out with the arrows. And the top and I want to fill that with -- So it is this little shape -- this go to our layers to straighten their this pull back a little bit. And we're gonna take that. Whole little thing there and there's duplicate which I'm going to go and do a little flip horizontal. That is facing the other way I've done here we've got another little arrow plus a little line some of grab this little piece right here. There's gotta make things really easy for yourself no hard work here just make a copy this guy down here. And that a separate this little box just a little bit off and bring them off just a little bit. And then duplicate -- that there. Click okay and now we can be selected -- is all the basic shapes now what are we need you need something on the screen so right back here. I have this little graphic here looks familiar that looks cool it's illustrate this debt and it picture we're on the screen whereas that's me. There is to screen the reason I want select the screen is when I bring something in it's automatically gonna fall. On top of the currently selected there and I want my little pixel perfect screen beautiful -- on take this and -- here. There it is. I don't wanna put it with a screen. We'll go here and clip but with the screen alt or option to between us so for now I can -- and and we sizes -- This goes -- scale. And -- sizes down and to position. Red in there right. So what's this going to. -- to stay out. And it's good maybe you pull them out of habit. Just like that. Hit enter and we might want to just. For school for just not -- a bit of the top and bottom so it does little black Gary there that's looking real good. But is there like a product shot. That's taken one step further. So wanted to do now is I'm going to go to my background here is my background and the background of the select a little area. Back here like so. Just like this and I throw in -- that white. And get this black and turn into a really like great. Like that. Second -- radio a nice then you gradient into this area here so that I have something in the back seat -- sitting on something now. I know. IPod is now sitting on something so and do it on an eternal my background. Appeared middle layer on top and a whole thing and do an option alt merge visible. What that's doing is it merge all the layers into that single layer but kept all my original layers intact. So I'm gonna take that layer that I just create and are doing little flip vertical line. Drag it down. Right below my existing iPod. That's -- background back on. Okay I'm gonna bring many -- before it. Like that. And we'll give it a little layer mask. So that I can go in there and hide the parts that I don't want which is -- down here towards the bottom and create this -- full effect like that."

" And what we see here that we've gotten now is that we've got this. Great you'll -- here who's given this. -- cited -- everything that we have a little iPod nano created entirely from scratch. Just using these tools in Photoshop plus a little screen that we've brought in from the website -- pixel perfect so. Who have a lot of steps in there -- lot of different things that went -- idea of having shadows. And highlights to create these. Indentations. And Andy middle curvature of the button this this question of looking at the way things are and then re creating that affect. Using the tools in Photoshop. Studying how light works see what of the shadow what makes I think top out. How's it casting a shadow where is it hot highlighted those of the things it and make two New York look three dimensional. -- something from -- remember to place the best way to learn this stuff does is sit there and play with it. If there's anything that you'd like to see -- the show email me at Bert and revision3.com. Also you can -- you questions answered. In my latest book. There's a lot of questions I've been getting emails how to do that how to do this while my latest book covers all of that stuff. My new book is a digital paying with Europe on -- no that's not it -- Photoshop studio -- right. There's a pain I think something like that well as the cover you can see it. But it's available through my site or Amazon or directly at peach pit press. You could not check out the pixel perfect forums and revision3.com. Forward slash form we'd enjoy discussions about the show maybe human influence a future episode. Also thanks again to -- who -- for this incredible background back here. Really cool now I got as a green screen I'm not really see the background actually I am cheating I'm looking at a screen over here but. That's what I'm living in rated -- green screen your artwork can be put -- your designs to -- and -- dot com. And the background should be 1280 by 720 pixels and a JPEG.
