			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we will be creating a simple business/personal portfolio like the one below.</p>
<div class="block_dload">
<a class="dload" href="http://webdevtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/downloads/Simpleportfolio.rar" title="Download" target="_blank">Download</a> <a class="demo" href="/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/Final-Image.jpg" title="demonstration" target="_blank">Final</a>
</div>
<p>Open Photoshop then File&gt;New&gt; and create a new document 800&#215;600 pixels.<br />
<img class="aligncenter"  src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/1opendocument.jpg" alt="Open Document" title="Open Document" /></p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Don’t forget to save work</p>
<p>First we will create a new background #000 then select type tool and create your website title ex.webdevtuts<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/2titles.jpg" alt="Create title" title="create title" /></p>
<p>Now we want to add a navigation bar to our design. Select the rounded rectangle tool and create a rounded rectangle across the top (#008dc8).<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/3nav.jpg" alt="Rounded rectangle" /></p>
<p>Right click on the layer with your nav bg and select Gradient Overlay &gt;<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/5grident.jpg" alt="Gradient" /></p>
<p>set the foreground color #008dc8 and background #004f70. Now lets add a stroke to our navigation background. Select&gt;stroke<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/5selectstroke.jpg" alt="Stroke" /><br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/4righclick.jpg" alt="Right Click" /></p>
<p>Next we will add some text to our navigation. Select the type tool and create the following: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, and Contact. Font: 14pt, Arial<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/6textfornav.jpg" alt="Text for nav" width="500px" /><br />
Note: All text is within 1 text box (after every word hit the spacebar 4x)<br />
<strong><em>Example</em></strong>(This is what your layout should like so far)<br />
<a href="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/ex1.jpg" title="example"><img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/ex1.jpg" alt="example" width="500px" height="300px" /></a></p>
<p>Ok now lets add a featured image gallery. Select the rectangle marquee tool and create a box #fff width 329x194pixels.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/7createboxbg.jpg" alt="Create a box" /></p>
<p>Now create another rectangle within the featured image gallery.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/8rectwithinrec.jpg" alt="Rectangle" /></p>
<p>All right lets add some buttons to our feature gallery. Set the foreground color #fff and background #eaeaea. Select the ellipse tool and create a circle outside of the featured gallery.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/9circle.jpg" alt="Circle" /></p>
<p>Then right click on the circle layer&gt;Blending Options&gt;Gradient Overlay&gt; then select the silver/white gradient<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/9circlegradienbtchoose.jpg" alt="Circle Gradient" width="550px" /></p>
<p>Now select the custom shape tool and click on one of the arrows.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/10selectcustomshapetool.jpg" alt="Custom Shape" /><br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/10selectarrow.jpg" alt="Select arrow" /></p>
<p>Now drag your arrow choice over the featured gallery button.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/10drawarrow.jpg" alt="draw arrow" /></p>
<p>Ok so lets create a new group and name it feat-button.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/11creategroup.jpg" alt="create group" /></p>
<p>Add all button properties to folder.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/11groupcontent.jpg" alt="group content" /></p>
<p>Now duplicate the folder. Right click on folder and select duplicate Group.</p>
<p>Now go to Edit&gt;Transform&gt;Flip Horizontal<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/12transform.jpg" alt="transform" /></p>
<p>Now drag button to other side of featured gallery.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/13dragbutton.jpg" alt="drag button" /></p>
<p>Ok lets add some Heading’s and paragraph’s to our portfolio. Create a heading font: 30pt, bold, #fefb00. Now for our paragraph we will add some dummy text. Google search lorem ispum. And add a paragraph under the heading.<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/14createheading.jpg" alt="create heading" /></p>
<p>Ok so now that the hard stuff is completed we will add 3 subheadings (Who are we, Our services, Why choose us) and 3 Paragraphs.<br />
<a href="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/ex2.jpg" title="Portfolio Layout Example"><img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/ex2.jpg" alt="example" width="500px" height="450px" /></a></p>
<p>To complete our portfolio we will add 3 read more buttons and a simple footer.<br />
Select the rounded rectangle tool, foreground #cec900 background# cdac00. Then create a small rounded rectangle. Next right click on the small rounded rectangle layer&gt;Blending Options&gt;Gradient overlay<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/16smallroundedrectanglegrad.jpg" alt="round rectangle" /><br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/15smallroundedrectangle.jpg" alt="Small rectangle" /><br />
Now select the type tool and add the following text “read more”(create a new group and add button and read more inside folder). Duplicate group.</p>
<p>For the final step we will add a simple footer. Select the rectangle marquee tool #008dc7 and create a rectangle with the same width as the navigation. The last step of this tutorial is to add copyright information<br />
<img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/18footerbg.jpg" alt="footer background" width="550px" /></p>
<p>Here are the final results<br />
<a href="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/Final-Image.jpg" title="Final Portfolio Layout"><img src="http://www.webdevtuts.net/tutorials/createsimpleportfolio/Final-Image.jpg" alt="" width="560px;" height="500px;" /></a></p>
