Create a new layer. Now select the main panel layer. (Hold ctrl and click the layer thumbnail)

Right-click the layer, go into the Blending Options and apply the folowing layer styles:
Inner Glow

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
