PS网页设计教程——小贴士：五步在PS中创建倒计时数字牌

本教程展示如何在ps中设计倒计时数字牌，如下图所示

这种数字牌目前在很多场合都能看到，尤其是现在很流行的Android手机系统上也能看到一二

1. Setting up the Photoshop file

1、配置Photoshop文件

1.1. Create a new file (Ctrl + N). In the New file dialog box, set the Width and Height units to pixels (if it isn't already). Set the width to 500 and the height to 300 pixels. We're creating a graphic element for web, as mentioned above, so set the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch, color mode to RGB color, 8 bit and background contents to white.

1.1新建文件（Ctrl+N）。在新建文件的窗口上，设置宽度和高度的单位为pixels（如果不是pixels的话）。设置宽度为500，高度为300。要创建网页上用的图片元素，如上提及，分辨率设置为72像素/英寸，颜色模式设置为RGB颜色，8位。背景内容为白色

1.2. To unlock the layer, currently titled "background", double click on it and on appearance of a dialog window showing title as Layer 0, press ok.

1.2解锁该图层，当前的标题“背景”，双击该图层，在出现的对话窗口上显示的标题改为“图层”，按确定

2. Adding color to the background (Layer)

2、添加背景颜色（图层）

2.1. Select Layer 0 (if not already selected) and go to Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay.

2.1选择“图层”（如果没有被选中），然后点击：图层 > 图层样式 > 渐变叠加

2.2. Make sure the opacity is 100%, style is linear and angle is 90 degrees. Click on the gradient and in the Gradient Editor, add color stops in this order: #191d29 at 0% location, #616a71 at 60% and #a9afab at 100% location.

2.2如下图设置图层样式，不透明度100%，样式选择线性，角度设置为90度。点击渐变，在渐变编辑器窗口里，按顺序设置颜色：在0%的位置上为#191d29，在60%的位置上为#616a71，在100%的位置上为#a9afab

3. Adding a white box

3、添加白色的方块

3.1. Click and hold (without releasing) the Rectangle Tool to select Rounded Rectangle Tool.

3.1点击并按住（不要松开）矩形工具，选择圆角矩形工具  
 

3.2. Choosing radius as 6 px, as shown above, create a rectangular box like the one shown below and rename it as "white-box" after double clicking the "shape 1” layer.

3.2设置半径为6px，如上所示，创建一个圆角矩形（198，89，86，109），如下所示，改名为“白色方块”，在双击形状1图层之后

3.3. With white box as selection, go to gradient overlay (as explained in step 2.1). Again, make sure the opacity is 100%, style is linear and angle is 90 degrees. Click on the gradient and in the Gradient Editor, add color stops in this order: #e1e1e1 at 0% location, #ffffff at 49%, #e1e1e1 at 51% location and finally, #ffffff at 100% location.

3.3在白色的方块选中的时候，设置渐变叠加（像之前的步骤2.1）。再次，不透明度设置为100%，样式设置为线性，角度为90度。点击渐变，在渐变编辑器窗口里，按顺序设置颜色：在0%的位置上为#e1e1e1，在49%的位置上为#ffffff，在51%的位置上为#e1e1e1，在100%的位置上设置为#ffffff。

3.4. In the same box as gradient overlay, look for Drop Shadow and Stroke. We have to select them too. Drop shadow settings: Opacity - 45%, distance - 2 px, spread - 0 px and size - 3 px. Stroke settings: Size - 1 px, position - inside and color: #ffffff.  
3.4在渐变叠加的窗口上，找到投影和描边。同样如下图设置。投影设置：不透明度为45%，距离为2px，扩展为0，大小为3px。描边设置：大小为1px，位置为内部，颜色为#ffffff。

4. Adding Separators to the box

4、在方块中添加分隔符

4.1. Click and hold the Rounded Rectangle Tool to select Line tool.

4.1点击并按住圆角矩形工具去选择直线工具  

4.2. With weight as 1 px and color #90949c, draw a line horizontally middle across the white box, just enough to touch the edges widthwise, like shown in the pic below. Name it "dark-sep".

4.2宽度设置为1px，颜色为#90949c，在白色方块中画一条水平直线（198，143，86，1），正好触及白色矩形的两边，如下图所示，命名为“深线”

4.3. Right-click (ctrl-click in mac) "dark-sep" layer and select duplicate. Name it "white-sep". Press V on the keyboard to select Move tool, press bottom arrow to move "white-sep" downwards by 1 px and change it color to #ffffff.

4.3右击“深线”图层，选择复制图层。命名为“白线”，按键盘上的V选择移动工具，按下方向键移动“白线”图层下移1px，改变颜色为#ffffff

5. Adding text to complete the countdown

5、添加文本完成倒计时数字牌

5.1. Press T on the keyboard to select Text tool. We have chosen "Myriad Pro bold" in 80 pt size but feel free to select your favorite font here. Select the layer "white-box" and type in a digit or a letter in vertical and horizontal middle. We have typed in a 2.

5.1按键盘上的T选择文字工具。选择字体Myriad Pro bold，字体大小80pt，或者选择你觉得合适的字体。选择白色方块图层，居中输入一个数字或文字。这儿输入的是2.

5.2. With text layer as selection, go to gradient overlay (as explained in step 2.1). Again, make sure the opacity is 100%, style is linear and angle is 90 degrees. Click on the gradient and in the Gradient Editor, add color stops in this order: #2d2d2d at 0% location, #474747 at 49%, #2d2d2d at 51% location and finally, #474747 at 100% location.

5.2选中文字图层，添加渐变叠加（像之前的步骤2.1）。再次，不透明度设置为100%，样式设置为线性，角度为90度。点击渐变，在渐变编辑器窗口里，按顺序设置颜色：在0%的位置上为#2d2d2d，在49%的位置上为#474747，在51%的位置上为#2d2d2d，在100%的位置上设置为#474747。

Here we have our countdown ready for usage as an element in broadcasting, collaterals or user interfaces.

至此已经完成计时牌，可以用在广告牌的元素，并列的元素，或是用户界面元素。

Bonus Step - add reflection to the counter

奖励步骤：添加数字牌的倒影

B.1. Select the layer "white-box" and  duplicate this layer (step 4.3). Right click (ctrl-click in mac) and first select "rasterize layer" and then, "clear layer style" as shown below.

B.1选择“白色方块”图层，并复制该图层。右键选择“栅格化图层”，接着选“清除图层样式”  
 

B.2. Press M on the keyboard to select Rectangular Marquee Tool and select the box 60% horizontally, from the bottom, like shown above. Go to Select > Modify > Feather and choose a feather radius of 20 px. We pressed "delete" 3 times to get the desired effect. You may choose as per your preference.

B.2按键盘上的M选择矩形选择工具，从下往上选择竖直60%部分，如上所示。点击：选择 > 修改 > 羽化，选择羽化半径为20px。 按Delete键3次获得理想的效果。你也可以按照你自己的想法设置

B.3. Press ctrl+d (cmd+d in mac) to deselect. Press V to go back to move tool and move the shape to the bottom of white box. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip vertical and change opacity of this layer to 20%.

B.3按Ctrl+D取消选择。按V选择移动工具，移动到白色方块的下方。点击：编辑 > 变形 > 垂直翻转（注：这步好像是多余的）。设置不透明度为20%
