iPod
iPods are awesome, but the black ones look the coolest, and it's not that hard to make one from scratch in Photoshop. :)
1. Make a new image about 250px by 360px. Make a new layer and, using the rounded rectange tool, fill up most of the space with a black rectangle (only leave a few pixels around the edges so there's room for shadows later on).
Apply the following layer styles (double click on the layer):
Drops shadow-
Blend mode: multiply, black
Opacity: 60%
Angle: 119
Distance: 3px
Spread: 0px
Size: 9px
So this is what you should have:
2. Next, make a new layer and drag it underneath the other one. Take a size 9px soft round brush and draw a line at the top and bottom of the ipod so only part of the line shows (the soft part). Lower the layer's opacity to 60%.
3. Take the Polygonal Lasso Tool and draw a diagonal line from off the top of the ipod in about 30px and down off the ipod to the bottom right corner. Then just draw a line up, then across to connect the triangle.
Use the gradient tool on a new layer (standard black and white one) and draw a gradient from the bottom of the ipod to the top, holding down shift. Change the blending mode of the layer to Screen, and lower the opacity to 60%.
4. Press control and u to bring up the Hue/Saturation screen. Check Colorize and change the settings as follows, since ipods have a bluish tint:
Hue: 227, Saturation: 14, Lightness: -27
5. Make a new layer (haha, everything always goes on new layers :D ) and use the rounded rectangle tool again to make a black rectangle about half the size of the ipod at the top. This is part of the screen.
Adding the following settings for drop shadow in the layer styles:
Opacity: 26%, Angle: 119, Distance: 1px, Spread: 0px, Size: 1px
6. Make another new layer. Use the regular rectangle tool to draw a white rectangle over the black one, leaving a few pixels around all sides.
