Step 5: Adding the Text
- Type out some text for the button.
- Add a Drop Shadow to the text (Effects Panel: Shadow and
Glow>Drop Shadow)
- Move the text below the top Bitmap shape (this is the
white shape created in Step 4)
- Center the text. The top of the text should be slightly
covered by the top reflection shape you created
If the top reflection isn't covering any of the text, click
it to select it and select the
Scale Tool and resize it a little so it is large enough to
drop over the text.
Step 6: Applying the Final
Touches
- Select the bottom Pill Shape. This is the shape with the
Linear Gradient applied to it. It should be the bottom object
on your Layer (or the bottom Layer if you placed each object
on its own layer)
- Apply a Drop Shadow to the shape. Below are the settings I
used:
Step 7: Adding the Background
- Create a New Layer.
- Select the Rectangle Tool and draw a rectangle over your
canvas.
- Apply a Fill color of light gray.
- Set the Texture to Line Horizontal-3 and set the Amount to
100%.
