step 11


Now to make the little square on the inside of the button. Use the rectangle tool (u) and hold shift to create a square in the centre of the button. Once you are happy with its size and positioning set your brush size to 2 and the colour to 818181. Then right click on the square and select Stroke Path, make sure 'Stimulate Pressure' is not selected. Then to get rid of the path go on the pen tool (p) and right click and select 'delete path'.


step 12


Your iPod is pretty much finished. In the next few steps are some finishing touches. If you are happy with the iPod as a whole it is probably worth merging all of the layers together so that you can work on the iPod as a whole. One of the ways I refined the image was by using the unsharp mask to give the ipod a sharper look, shown in the image below.


step 13


I also thought that it looked a bit grey and needed some more colour so I used Color Balance and added a bit more blue to the image. I also messed around with Levels to make it brighter.


step 14


Finally I made a reflection by duplicating the ipod and using the Free Transform Tool (cmd t). I also used the Magic Wand tool (w) to delete the screen section, then I made a layer below with a screen background which just adds to the image and brightens it up a bit. My finished iPod is below. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
