Free Download Icon + Psd Resource

Download Source Files

Most of you will want to offer a download at some point. It’s a good idea to give free things away to your readers and subscribers to help with the bonding factor so here is a quick way to make a Download Call To Action that will sit nicely on your webpage. The PSD is attached so if your feeling particularly lazy today just go ahead and rip it off and do with it as you will.

STEP 1 – Create a new PSD Document at around 300×100 pixels, 72 dpi and in RGB, select the rounded rectangle tool  with a corner radius of 10px and draw a rectangle in the middle of the page. It dosnt matter what colour you have as we will add some layer styles to it.

STEP 2: Select the layer that the rectangle is on and apply the following layer properties.

This is what you should have

So now lets add some text.

STEP 3: I used Arial Black at size 27pt. Again it dosnt matter about what color you apply as we will add some layer properties to it later. Off center the text a little to the right as we will want to add a little Meme in a second.

Now apply the following layer styles to the text like so.

Which should give you something like this

Step 4: Using the Ellipse tool draw a circle to the left of the text

Apply the following layer styles to it

Which….. will leave you with something like this

Now select an arrow from the custom shape tool and apply the same layer properties as we used in the text earlier. Rotate it so it points downwards and center it in the middle

Step 5: Now add some text below the words ‘Download’ – you may want to jig everything around a little so it fit’s nice and smoothly. I used an Arial font in white so its clean and simple at around 10pt

Step 6: Time to shine – well make the button look nice and glossy at least.There are many ways some more complex than others to do this effect. Here is a real simple way that I often use and it’s never failed me yet. Duplicate the main blue background layer, remove all the layer properties and make it white then  and drag it to the top so it covers everything.

Your document should look like this

With the layer selected, select the pen tool and draw a smooth shape on top which should remove the bottom of the layer

Now just lower the opacity to around 36

Which leaves you with this. You may need to flatten the path layer and delete any excess you may have.

Using the ‘rectangle tool’ which is the ‘grey box’ in the main tool bar, draw a rectangular box to similar proportions as below.

Place it in the center on the vertical and just above the horizontal center.

Open up the layer styles for the rectangle and then select the ‘Gradient Overlay’ option as below and apply the following layer styles. The exact colors do not really matter here, just try and get them as close to this as you can.
