5. If Right Now All You Want Is… a Packaging Template

Packaging templates not only save time but they’re also often the most sensible route to go down, even if you have some time to spare. Designing a 2D template for a printed 3D product can be tricky, and would usually require multiple phases of printing mock-ups to test how the design folds and stands. These templates have gone through that stage, and they’re simply ready for customizing with your own brand names and colors.

Health Food Bag

Easily adaptable to other food products—try cereal, nuts or sweets—this packet design is subtle, wholesome, and will look great on the shelf.

Food Packaging With Window

This template is great as it stands for pet-food packaging, but with a few design tweaks you can have a completely unique windowed bag. Try adapting the design to other food products which would benefit from being visible from the outside, like cereal, sweets, or biscuits.

1. What Are Clipping Masks in Photoshop?

A clipping mask, or Photoshop mask, is essentially a layer clipped inside another layer or group. 

A clipped layer will only be visible within the boundaries of the layer it’s clipped into, also known as the „base” layer. A layer will become underlined, indicating that it is a base layer, once a separate layer in clipped into it. 

Let’s get to learning how to create a mask in Photoshop!

2. How to Make a Clipping Mask in Photoshop

Step 1

Create two New Layers. 

Step 2

Hold down Alt.  

Position the pointer over the line dividing „Layer 1” and „Layer 2”. You will notice the mouse change to two overlapping circles.

Now click! „Layer 2” will then clip into „Layer 1”. 

clipping mask

How to Use Clipping Masks in Photoshop

You can clip any kind of layer into any other kind of layer, such as text layers, shape layers, image layers, blank layers to paint on, etc.

Step 1

First, create a background using the Baby girl digital paper pack.

Make a heart using the Shape Tool.

Now clip the happy girl image inside the heart! 

First clipping mask

Step 2

Let’s make a second clipping mask to create a scrapbook effect and see how we might layer clipping masks!

Create another heart using the Shape Tool. Make it slightly bigger than the first, and place it below the first heart as well.

second clipping mask

Step 3

Create and clip the heart shape pattern from the Baby girl digital paper pack into the large heart. 

Step 4

You can clip infinite layers into a single layer and adjust their layer mode and opacity as normal; however, all layers clipped into the base layer will be affected by the base layer’s opacity and layer mode.

Below, I lowered the Opacity of the smaller heart to 50%, which then lowered the opacity of the little girl image to 50% as well.

lower opacity

Step 5

Finally, you can also clip layers into groups, but you cannot clip groups into layers, nor can you group clipped layers. You have to group the base layer with its clipped layers.

Let’s go ahead and bring our heart’s Opacity to 100%

Group all of your heart layers together, everything but the background, naming the group „Heart”.

Create a New Layer and clip it into the „Heart” group, setting the layer to Screen.

Using a round Brush, paint in a soft pink #facccf light all around the heart. Notice how the color stays within the boundaries of the largest heart!

Finally, you can also clip layers into groups, but you cannot clip groups into layers, nor can you group clipped layers. You have to group the base layer with its clipped layers.

Let’s go ahead and bring our heart’s Opacity to 100%

Group all of your heart layers together, everything but the background, naming the group „Heart”.

Create a New Layer and clip it into the „Heart” group, setting the layer to Screen.

How to Make a Colorful Icon Pack

Post pobrano z: How to Make a Colorful Icon Pack

Final product image
What You’ll Be Creating

In the following steps, you will learn how to create a colorful icon pack in Adobe Illustrator.

For starters, you will learn how to set up a simple grid and how to create a frame for your line icon pack. Using basic tools and taking full advantage of the grid and snap to grid features, you will learn how to create a printer icon design, a color swatches icon design, and an eyedropper icon design. You’ll learn how to work with basic tools and effect, how to easily transform and multiply shapes, and how to add subtle shading.

For more inspiration on how to adjust or improve your icon design, you can find plenty of resources at GraphicRiver.

1. How to Create a New Document and Set Up a Grid

Hit Control-N to create a new document. Select Pixels from the Units drop-down menu, enter 850 in the width box and 340 in the height box, and then click that More Settings button. Select RGB for the Color Mode, set the Raster Effects to Screen (72 ppi), and then click Create Document.

Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid) and the Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid). You will need a grid every 1 px, so simply go to Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid, enter 1 in the Gridline every box and 1 in the Subdivisions box. Try not to get discouraged by all that grid—it will make your work easier, and keep in mind that you can easily enable or disable it using the Control-„ keyboard shortcut.

You can learn more about Illustrator’s grid system in this short tutorial from Andrei Stefan: Understanding Adobe Illustrator’s Grid System.

You should also open the Info panel (Window > Info) for a live preview with the size and position of your shapes. Don’t forget to set the unit of measurement to pixels from Edit > Preferences > Units. All these options will significantly increase your work speed.

2. How to Create the Frames for the Colorful Icon Pack

Step 1

Before you learn how to make icons, pick the Rectangle Tool (M) and focus on the toolbar. Remove the color from the stroke and then select the fill and set its color to a random red.

Hold down the Shift key and create a 72 px square. Make sure that it stays selected, open the Appearance panel (Window > Appearance), and lower the Opacity to around 20%.

square frame

Step 2

Make sure that your square stays selected and open the Transform panel (Window > Transform). Focus on the X and Y input fields to numerically place shapes on your artboard. Enter the settings shown in the following image, and in the end your shape should be placed as shown below.

transform position

Step 3

Make sure that your square is still selected and go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform. Drag the Move-Horizontal slider to 206 px, enter 2 in the Copies box, and click OK.

Focus on the Layers panel (Window > Layers), expand the existing layer, and simply lock your shape to make sure that you won’t accidentally select/move it. You’ll only need these red squares as frames for your icons.
