Create an attractive white portfolio with an orange pattern where the content could be placed. The design consist of a few “papers” stacked on each other with a drop shadow.

1. Create a new document (640*480).

2. Fill the background with #ffffff using the paint bucket tool.

3. Now create a new layer and select a rectangle shaped box (about 450*300 pixels) and fill it with white #ffffff and then adjust the bleding options of your layer (layer – layer style – blending options) to add a drop shadow.

4. The next step is easy… You have to duplicate the layer created above 2 times (layer – duplicate layer) and then you should transform all of them exept the top layer (edit – free transform) and rotate them a little bit so you end up with something like this… Note that the top layer should have another color, so fill it up with #e3892e to achieve the same result as me!

5. Now it’s time to create another layer adjust the blending options of the top layer (layer – layer style – blending options) with the other color you’ve chosen to use. The drop shadow should have copied itself when you duplicated the layers, though we have to add a few more blending options…

6. The next step is to add some text in this #e3892e color to display the name of your site or anything you want! So we use the horizontal type tool and type something (I used arial black with a size of 60px). Then we want to make it a bit more attractive so we adjust the blending options of this text layer.

7. Now it’s time to add a menu under the ‘shadowpapers’… Create a new layer, place it just above the background layer and select a rectangle shape with your selection marquee tool, fill the selection with #fffff and copy the layer style of the ‘shadowpaper’ layer (right click the ‘shadowpaper’ layer – copy layer astyle – right click the menu layer and paste the layer style)! You should have something like this for now!
