| This is the 2nd part of the Photoshop tutorial to create trendy portfolio layout. Next, select the rounded rectangle shape tool, with a radius of 10 pixels, and 6B9DAB as the color. Create a rectangle and then use the rectangular marquee tool to delete the area shown in image a). Now that you've create the first button, duplicate the layer for as many buttons you need. Now we're going to give the header graphic some decoration, so create a new layer and then create a circle using 59787D for the color. |

| Make a new layer above the circle layer, and then fill the selection with a lighter color (97ABAF). Use the transform tool (edit > transform > scale) to reduce the size of it to 50% (image a). Duplicate the smaller circle (image b), make a selection out of it, and contract (selection > modify > contract) the selection by 3 pixels. Delete the selected area and then contract it by a further 2 pixels. |

| Fill the selection with the darker blue. Merge the first 2 shapes together and then use the transform tool to scale them down to smaller versions (image b), and then create some small light grey/white circles. Duplicate the shapes a few times, move them above the menu buttons and then reduce their opacity to about 30% |

| Create more variations of the shapes, but with a slight pink tint, and some with more layers of circles (image b). |
