Welcome to episode 3 of Layout Design Bootcamp where my goal is to take you through entire design layouts to show you the exact process of how it’s done. In this third episode, I continued to implement the brand of “Chubby Cat” that I developed in Logo Design Bootcamp Episode number 3. I decided to design a set of website banners and a fake website skin to make it seem more realistic (www.smlstudios.com/tests/chubbycat). This tutorial will teach you so many things including:
- Figuring out the correct size for your layout
- Setting up your images for a print/web layout
- Masking out images in Photoshop
- Channels & Levels
- All aspects of the pen tool
- Clipping masks
- Warping shapes
- Balance of design
- Saving for web
- The shear tool
- and of course…..much more!
