Logo Design 9- 3D box logo



1. Create a new document with 500*500 px dimensions and change the dark gray as foreground color and black as foreground color.
2. Create a radial gradient near the center of the canvas. create a new layer and make a selection about 90px tall from the bottom  of the document and create a radial gradient closer to the left side and towards the top of the selection .
3. Create a new layer and using rectangular marquee tool create a box and fill it with blue. Go to edit->transform->perspective and bring top right and bottom right corners of the box towards the center of the side a little and press enter.
4. Select the linear gradient tool and create a gradient from bottom left to top right of the box (light blue to dark blue).
5. Duplicate the layer and flip it horizontally and apply perspective transformation on the left side of the box by dragging it in.
6. Open the blending options and apply the effects on both the layers:
   a. Satin (blend mode-multiply , opacity-10,angle-19, distance-10, size-14)
7. Create a new layer and make a selection of right box layer by holding ctrl key and clicking on the layer. Select linear gradient tool and change it to foreground to transparent with white as foreground color and create a gradient from bottom left to top right of the selection and lower the opacity to 20. Select polygonal lasso tool and select the bottom of the gradient and delete it. Repeat the precess on left box layer and reduce the opacity to 15.
8. Create a new text layer and write some text on right side of the box. To perform perspective on the text layer , rasterize the text layer. Press ctrl T->right click and select perspective and perform perspective on text layer.
9. Open the blending options:
   a. Gradient overlay (blend mode-normal, opacity-100, gradient(light gray to white), style-linear, angle-90, scale-100)
   b. Stroke (size-1,position-outside, blend mode-soft light, opacity-46, fill type-gradient (white to black), style-radial, angle-90)
10.Drag both the box layers and gloss layers in a group and duplicate the group . Then go to edit->transform->flip vertical.
11.To make the sides of the reflection touch the sides of the box press shift-click on the right box layer and right gloss layer inside the reflection group. Go to edit->transform->skew and drag the right side of the layers up until they touch. Do the same to left side of the box. Lower the opacity of the group to 50.
12.Create a new layer on top of the table layer(layer1) and make a selection of table layer by holding ctrl key and clicking on table layer . Select the brush tool and make a single brush stroke in the center of the box using a large brush and blue color matching the box.
