Go to Select > Deselect (CTRL+D for PCs) to remove the selection, press D to revert to the default palette, then go to Filters > Render > Difference Clouds and you should have something that looks like the picture above.
Double click on the Bezel Layer icon or select Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options. You will get a dialog box like the one above. Select Bevel and Emboss and set the parameters accordingly. Click in each box to bring up the palette. The shading colors are as follows: Highlight colors are R=98:G=134:B=159 and the Shadow colors are: R=213:G=213:B=235. Select Contour and set the Contour Mode to Half Round > Anti-Aliased and Range 50%.
Now select Gradient Overlay and set the parameters the same as above.
After following these steps, you should have something that looks like this.
Page 8: Almost there. You could, of course, stop here but images like this always look better if they’re a bit more active, so let’s give it something to display.
Select the Screen Middle layer and then choose the Text Tool. For this image I set the text attributes to regular, 88px and crisp. The colour is black (obvious really). The envelope is from the standard Windows Wingding set and corresponds to the asterisk (shift 8), the text is Hattenschweiller but any font could be used. Once you have the text the way you want it, click the layer entry in the palette, this sets it down and will allow you to move, rotate and stretch the text using the Free transform tool we discussed earlier (CTRL+T for PCs).
You may notice that even though it has been rotated, it still doesn’t look quite right, this is because of the perspective of the phone. You can’t distort text while it’s in this state, so the next thing you need to do is make it a Raster Layer. This is done by choosing Layer > Rasterize > Type. You can now distort it the same as normal image layer using the different transform options listed with the transform tool.
