Design a Blue Jean Pocket Cover Photoshop Tutorial
Resources
- Jean Weave Pattern - Texture Mate
- Ackbar Font - Da Font
Step 1 - Create a New Document
Choose File > New or press Ctrl/Command + N. The size of my canvas is 1000px (width) x 1000px (height) but choose any size you wish.
Step 2 - Background
On your first layer rename it to 'Background' and then apply this Gradient Overlay by double clicking this layer
Step 3 - Add the Pattern
Create a New layer and name it 'Pattern.' Grab your paint bucket tool and fill this layer with white #ffffff. Make sure the 'Fill' is at 0% and add this layer style.
Step 4 - Pocket
Create a New layer and name it 'Pocket.' Grab your pen tool and make the shape of a pocket. Right click and then click on 'Make Selection', click ok.
Step 5 - Fill the Pocket
Fill this pocket with #ffffff. Once you have done this duplicate this layer. On the first 'Pocket' pocket layer add these layer styles. First up, the Drop Shadow.
Step 6 - Pocket Pattern
Now on your 'Pocket Copy' layer add this pattern
Step 7
This is how it should look so far.
Step 8 - Stitching
Before you grab your pen tool, make sure your paint brush is set to 2px hard round brush and the color is set to #bba958.
Step 9 - Stitching Effect
While your 'Stitching' layer is selected, click on the Add layer Mask button (the icon with the circle inside a box). On the mask layer, start to erase parts of the line to get the stitching effect. Note: I used a 5px hard round brush for this.
Step 10 - Add Drop Shadow
On the 'Stitching' layer add these settings for the Drop Shadow.
Step 11 - 2nd stitching layer
Repeat the previous steps to create another stitching layer like the one below. You can name this layer 'Inside Stitching.'
Step 12 - Texture
Create a new layer and name it 'Texture'. On this layer we will give the jeans more of a dengy feel to them. Grab your paint brush tool and set it to a 104 px soft round brush and a Flow of 43%, color black #000000. Make marks like the image below. Set this layer to 'Soft Light' with an Opacity of 50%.
Step 13 - Blur Texture
On your 'Texture' layer go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and apply these settings.
Step 14 - Smudge Texture
To give it more of a random effect grab your smudge tool (40px soft round brush, Strength: 50%) and spread the texture around a bit, so that it looks like the image below. Erase the parts that go outside of the pocket.
