Industrial Panel
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
In this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to create this industrial styled panel, great for gaming website templates!

Let’s get started.
1.
First create a new document and make a background that will match the panel. I used a dark grey background with a few nice effects.

2.
Create a new layer for the start of the panel.
After you created the new layer, make a rather crooked selection with the Polygonal Lasso Tool.

This is the selection I made:

Fill your selection with a lighter grey than the background, I used #454545.

3.
Go into the Blending Options for the main panel layer and apply the following layer styles:
Outer Glow
Outer Glow
Gradient Overlay
Pattern Overlay (Download the pattern from here)
You should have a result like this:

Good tut;)
It was easy to understand and made a good result:)

Why have you made the perspective all off? Wouldn’t this look better at the correct angle?

One little problem there. As the panel itself has a perpective, but the text doesn’t, wich makes it look a bit odd… Should be easy to fix though?

Excellent tutorial. Lots of your steps are things I didn’t think to do on my own - such as importing my own patterns and throwing things off perspective for dramatic effect. Thanks for getting the creativity going!

Damien,
Sure thing, but you’ll have to rasterize type layer in order to have the possibility to do some transformation. So, rasterize -> Ctrl+T -> Rotate -> Rightclick - Distort; now just put the corners in the correct positions. Looks much better and realistic
