Be accurate while you do this masking. If you do too much you might get kind of different results. Some make sure you getting as close as possible to the result shown below.

Also keep in mind, while masking you should use a very soft brush – let’s say 2-3% Flow.

Step 48

Now select all the button layer and merge them (Ctrl+E). Then create new layer above, hit Ctrl+Alt+G for clipping mask. Change layer’s Blending Mode to Overlay. Select white brush and softly paint as the red arrow indicate. Cast some light from the top.

48

Step 49

Repeat the previous step but this time create new layer with Multiply Blending Mode and use soft black brush for shading. Paint where the red arrow indicate.

Step 50

Finally create new layer below the screw, set its Blending Mode to Multiply and use soft black brush to cast shadow below the button (downwards).

50

Step 51

Duplicate these screws as many times as you want (Ctrl+J) and make sure their placement is symmetrical. Also if you want to place them in a holes like I did, just refer to the earliest steps (for example step12) but in this case for a hole simply use a rounded shape layer. Everything here works on the same routine, the only thing that changes is the shape, which here is a circle.

51

Step 52

Alright we have the first screen done. Now stay on the same project file and let’s move further. Go to the top of layers palette and create a shape layer, use Rectangle Tool (U) with very dark color (#0a0a0a).

52

Step 53

Duplicate one of the top buttons (Ctrl+J) and place it in the central part a little bit below the top buttons. Make sure it fits the gap (that was in the same spot) in the previous screen. Remove the gloss layer, change the text to “Song list” and leave it this way.

53

Step 54

Now as you roll the group of this new button you have the exact same layers as we had before in these top buttons. So just select the layer on the very bottom that’s our black gap, duplicate it (Ctrl+J) and place it in the on the top.

I’ve changed its color to white so we know better what’s going on there.

54

Step 55

Hit Ctrl+T and resize the white shape down. Make sure it’s around 3 pixles smaller.
