Create a Coming Soon Page in Photoshop

In this tutorial Stelian Subotin is going to create a minimal Coming Soon page using Adobe Photoshop. The trend of using coming soon pages has increased in recent years, as he hardly remembers anyone with a splash page in the 2000s. A lot of people and organizations have started using them to give some brief information about their upcoming (website/company/service). This way you can be prepared and ready for their launch. There is another, equally important, reason behind the coming soon page as well. You can set up a subscription or newsletter form and collect e-mails and use them for your (spam-free!) marketing campaign.

Create a new document 1020 pixels width and 700 high. This size is great for coming soon/error and other similar pages. Make the background a light grey and apply some noise to it (Filter->Noise->Add Noise). Create a 700×400 pixel white shape. Set the Fill to zero and apply any seamless (transparent) pattern. Use Helvetica in two weights (regular and bold) and two sizes (30 and 12pt) place two catch phrases/slogans. The best thing is to write down some info that will describe your upcoming website. By using 12px lowercase Helvetica and icons from the IconSweets2 set, create two horizontal groups of elements. Each element must consist of one icon and one link. Stelian Subotin will set it with three elements for each row.
