Polaroid - made in Photoshop with vector shapes and layerstyles

Here is the PSD file for a simple image created entirely with vector shapes and custom layer styles. The benefit of setting up your files this way is that you can now insert any photo (or video) into this image and the grunge scratches and reflections will appear over the photo, integrating the whole. You can also resize this file up to print size - and it will scale beautifully.

Grunge-style

Included are both the gunge and clean versions in separate folders inside the psd.

Hope it helps!

    so THAT’s how you make vectors look so - un-vector-ish. Many new things to learn with this PSD file. Thanks so much.

    Any chance of a video tutorial? hmmm??

    I love it! I don’t understand all those complicated layer tricks you did - but i can see how to place a video beneath the grunge/lens layer. Will spend a long time looking at this one!

    Amazing work. I love EVERY SINGLE minor detail especially the paper joins at the corners and how the photos lifts off the page. The scratches on the grunge are sexy too.The ability to scale is a huge bonus too.

    *BIG HUG!
