Design an Elegant Calendar

Design an elegant calendar with Photoshop

In this tutorial Stelian Subotin is going to design a nice, minimal calendar widget in Photoshop. He is going to use some really easy techniques to achieve a beautiful final result. By combining some gray, black, and variations of different light colors, and a nice subtle texture, he will try to give the interface a grungy, minimal look.

 

Stelian Subotin is starting his calendar by creating a simple shape. It doesn’t need to be big since it will be used somewhere in a sidebar. Choose a size between 200-300 pixels in height, as well as 200-300 pixels in width. For this project He’ll go with 235 pixels high and 230 pixels wide. Apply a really subtle shadow by adding a 1px shadow, with an opacity of 50% because he is working on a dark-grey background which doesn’t contrast with a really visible, black shadow.
