Hello Iam, thanks for your answers.

I wanted to show you my first draft for the frame, I will attach it to my post.

As you can see, it's nothing special. The image is scaled down: I found out that working at a bigger resolution and then reducing image size by 60%, 80%, gives it a nice feel, while keeping the text still readable. But look at the boxes: they are flat and nearly boring to look at. I just made them with some shapes (PS: I can't use the pen tool :mrgreen:)

Following your instructions I managed to make a skeleton for the template, but I can't really do more than this.

This is how I actually would like my template: clean, but still nice to look at. Overlays and filler patterns are not applied, it's just a green color. I used the pillow bevel. I made a mask for the main green body with a square, so I can place the image at the bottom. The space below the picture should contain symbols related to the card, and the main rule text is the big one down there obviously. Would love to make the borders of the rule box, the image (which are actually the border of the green fill cut out) a bit better, and maybe adding a small effect right near the black borders of the card, which right now is just the effect of the bevel on the green fill.


I would certainly love a tutorial or more in depth explanation (especially with overlays/patterns/textures and layer styles, since I always get a headache when I try to apply a bevel :thumbsup:)


Cheers - (images are placeholders)
