This tutorial shows you how to use multiple vector shapes, layer styles, and various tools to create a mobile phone design. It's a nice design with multiple small details explained.

Start working by creating a new file (File>New) of 1280x1024 px and 72 dpi. 

Then we should select the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent the background of the picture we’ll get on the final stage.



Set the next parameters for the made layer by making a mouse click on the layer we work with on the layers’ panel. Blending Options>Gradient Overlay



Gradient’s parameters:

 



Next we shall select the To reshape the corners of a rounded rectangle, select the rounded rectangle tool and select the rectangle. Extra selection handles appear inside the rectangle corners. Dragging an inside handle toward the center of the rectangle to make it more rounded; drag it toward the outside of the rectangle to make it less rounded.'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) (radius 55 px) to draw the cell phone body. Then press SHIFT button while using again the same tool with a radius of 2 px and this time to represent three prominences for the lateral buttons. Using the Add Anchior Point Tool, it’s possible to add one more top on the bottom part of the body for getting a correct shape. The layer’s color is #E4E5E6

Insert the buttons’ numeration, keeping the demands from the table below:

 



On the next stage we have to introduce the alphabet on the buttons:

 



Insert the symbol from here - #

 



Applying the The line tool is used to draw straight lines on the canvas. It is pretty intuitive, you simply choose the line tool from the toolbox, click once on the canvas to specify the beginning point of your line and then drag the mouse to define the line extending from the starting point.'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Line Tool (U) (width 1 px), it’s possible to represent the symbol *, which color is #414142.



Next we’ll insert the symbol + close to the previously drawn one - *

 




Using the Rectangle Tool (U), try to make the symbol representing the gap, colored with #5B5C5D. Press SHIFT button while using the same tool to add the protuberances on the left and right sides.



Let’s represent two more symbols applying the You use the shape tools to draw lines, rectangles, rounded rectangles, and ellipses in an image. In Photoshop, you can also draw polygons and create custom shape libraries to reuse and share custom shapes.
'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Custom Shape Tool (U) and the The line tool is used to draw straight lines on the canvas. It is pretty intuitive, you simply choose the line tool from the toolbox, click once on the canvas to specify the beginning point of your line and then drag the mouse to define the line extending from the starting point.'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Line Tool (U) (width of 1 px), for representing the sound symbol and the allows you to make lines that change colour and shapes on the project.'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Pen Tool (P) to indicate the pointer. The color is #414142 for both symbols.



The Free Transform option should change the shape of the sound symbol.



Now we shall draw the symbol indicating the voice mail. In this case we’ll use the Line Tool (U) (width of 1 px) to represent the horizontal lines and the Use the ellipse tool to draw ovals and circles. To draw a circle, hold down the Shift key while dragging. Double-click the ellipse tool to open the Color inspector.'); return false" href="javascript:void(0)">Ellipse Tool (U) to introduce by one ring on the left and right sides.
