			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial, I will share with you guys my way to create a Flash-like <strong>floor tile</strong> using Photoshop.</p>
<h3>Sample</h3>
<p><img src="http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/59/step52.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="#download">Jump straight to Download (PSD)</a></p>
<h3>Step-by-step Guide</h3>
<h4>1. Make a triangle</h4>
<p>Make a triangle facing downward using Polygon Tools. I am using this:</p>
<p><img src="http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3743/step1g.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now, select the triangle layer and press <strong>Ctrl + T</strong> to do a free transform. Increase its width to 250% using the menu on top.</p>
<p>Result: <img src="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4589/step11.gif" alt="" /></p>
<h4>2. Make a rectangle as the floor tile&#8217;s thickness</h4>
<p>Now, make a rectangle using Rectangle Tool. Make sure your rectangle is not too thick and has the same width as the triangle.<br />
Put the rectangle just on top of the triangle.</p>
<p>Result: <img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7665/step2l.gif" alt="" /></p>
<h4>3. Completes the shape of floor tile</h4>
<p>Duplicate the triangle&#8217;s layer (from step 1) and flip it vertically. Put it just on top of the rectangle and we need to distort it now.</p>
<ul>
<li>Select the new triangle&#8217;s layer</li>
<li>Press Ctrl + T</li>
<li>Right Click on the triangle</li>
<li>Choose Distort</li>
<li>Set its height to 67%</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4349/step3r.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now, of course, move it down and put it just on top of the rectangle.</p>
<p>Result: <img src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3438/step31.gif" alt="" /></p>
<h4>4. Merge the layers</h4>
<p>You might want to duplicate the layers (as backup) before merging the 3 layers.</p>
<p>Now merge them and apply layer effect to it as follow.</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Color Overlay</strong><br />
- All default settings except changing the colour to <u>White</u></p>
<p><strong>Stroke</strong><br />
- All default settings except changing the colour to <u>727272</u><br />
- This is a 3 pixels border, change it as you wish</p></blockquote>
<div style="width:570px;overflow:hidden">
<img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8243/step4i.png" alt="" /></div>
<h4>5. Make it 3D</h4>
<p>Use Polygonal Lasso Tool to make a selection that look like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7236/step5.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now fill it with black colour and set its opacity to 14%.</p>
<p>Make another one as in the picture below:</p>
<p><img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9052/step51.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now fill it with black colour and set its opacity to 8%.</p>
<p>Play around with their opacity until you are satisfied.</p>
<p>Result: <img src="  http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/59/step52.gif  " alt="" /></p>
<h4>6. It&#8217;s done. Now decorate your own piece of floor tile.</h4>
<p>Here&#8217;s some floor tiles I&#8217;ve made earlier.</p>
