First, let us see the live demo here:

Step1: HTML – Page Peel Wireframe

The “pageflip” div will act as the container, mainly used to establish the relative positioning. Then nest the image and the span class of “msg_block” wrapped in an tag.

<div id="pageflip">
	<a href="#">
		<img src="page_flip.png" alt="" />
		<span>Subscribe via RSS</span>
	</a>
</div>

Step 2: CSS – Page Peel Styles

Set the image property to a smaller size (30×30px in my demo) and set the absolute positioning to be in the top right corner. The image will be used similar to the “masking” technique in Photoshop, where it will be placed on top of the hidden message, so only a portion of the message will be shown.

#pageflip {
	position: relative;
}
#pageflip img {
	width: 30px; height: 32px;
	z-index: 99;
	position: absolute;
	right: 0; top: 0;
	-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}
#pageflip .msg_block {
	width: 30px; height: 30px;
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 50;
	right: 0; top: 0;
	background: url(subscribe.png) no-repeat right top;
	text-indent: -9999px;
}

Step 3: jQuery – Animating Page Peel

$("#pageflip").hover(function() {  
	$("#pageflip img , .msg_block").stop()
		.animate({
			width: '307px',
			height: '319px'
		}, 500);
	} , function() {
	$("#pageflip img").stop() 
//On hover out, go back to original size 30x32
		.animate({
			width: '30px',
			height: '32px'
		}, 220);
	$(".msg_block").stop() 
//On hover out, go back to original size 30x30
		.animate({
			width: '30px',
			height: '30px'
		}, 200); 
//Note this one retracts a bit faster (to prevent glitching in IE)
});

Step one: Create the screen of the digital clock

Create a new document with size of 300 x 150 pixels. Fill the background in #767A65.

Step two: Add some digital fonts

After preparing the background of the digital clock, we are going to write the base of the clock letter. Select the Horizontal Type Tool and type 88:88 with size of 130px and color in #6D715C. [Download font]

Then press [Ctrl+J] to duplicate the “88:88″ layer and put it on top of the original layer. Change the color of the duplicate “88:88″ to #252525 and change “88:88″ to “20:34″.

Final step: Finalize the effect the digital letter

Open the Layer Style box by double clicking the “20:34″ digital letter layer. Set the style as shown in the following image. Now the digital clock is finished.

Step one: Prepare data for you pie chart

Select the Pie Graph Tool, and click on the artboard. Enter 300×300 pixel.

After that, a graph data table will pop up. You can enter you data directly into this data table or import some existing data for generating your pie chart.

In this tutorial, we will import existing data. Click and select a existing data. We choose a CSV file. You can create your data in any spreadsheet software and save it as CSV file with “Tab” as field delimiter and no text delimited. [Download CSV file]

Click  to generate the pie chart.

Step two: Ungroup the pie chart

We need to break the pie chart in pieces in order to apply color and effect to each piece. Select the graph and go to Object -> Ungroup or press [Ctrl+Shift+G] to ungroup it. Now, the text and the graph is ungrouped. We need select the pie chart and apply ungroup one more time to ungroup the pieces of the pie chart.

Now, we can change the color of each piece.

Since each piece of pie chart  and its remark are joined together, we need to ungroup them in order to applying effect to each piece. Select all pieces and go to Object -> Ungroup.

Step three: Apply “Extrude & Bevel” effect

Select all pieces and go to Effect -> 3D -> Extrude & Bevel. Click More Options to show all settings. Now you can drag the cube to specify the X-Y-Z Axis values or enter the values manually. For this tutorial, 37° for X-axis, 10° for Y-axis and 0° for Z-axis. Enter 20pt for Extrude Depth. Finally, add one more light source by clicking on New Light icon and drag it as shown below.

You will get this result.

Final step: Reposit the pieces

After applying the Extrude & Bevel effect, the pie is off a bit, select the pieces and reposit them.

Step one: Prepare a paper texture

Create a new document with the size of 500 x 300 pixel and white background. Or, you can find a paper texture as the background. Open the prepared paper texture and drag it to the empty document created before. [Paper texture]

Drag and place the paper texture

Step two: Create a chop outline a little bit larger than the original size

In this step, we will create a chop 20% – 30% larger than the size you desire, in order to decreasing it further to get a more realistic layout.

Create a new layer on top of the layer of paper texture. Use the Ellipse Tool to create a round shape with any color. It doesn’t matter which color you use.

Create round path

Open the Layer Style window, set the fill opacity to 0% and the size of stroke to 5 px, color in black. [Fill opacity setting] [Stroke setting]

Fill opacity and stroke

Step three: Duplicate the inner circle of the chop

Duplicate the layer of the black circle and make it a little bit smaller. To decrease the size the circle press [Ctrl+T] or go to Edit -> Transform Path -> Scale. Press and hold [ALT+Shift] to get the proportional decreasing.

Proportional decreasing

Step four: Add some text into the chop

Firstly, select the circle vector mark of the inner small circle layer [Select mask].

Vector mask is selected

Select the Vertical Type Tool and click on the path of inner circle and type some texts on it. After that, select the text you have typed and go to Edit -> Transform Path -> Scale. Press and hold [ALT+Shift] to get the proportional increasing. (Increase the size of  the new inner circle to the average size of original inner circle and outer circle.)

Increase the size

After that you will have something like this. [See]

After finishing the previous step, go to Edit -> Transform Path -> Rotate to rotate the text to a right position.

Rotate text to right position

Add star signs and some text into the chop link. Select Custom Shape Tool for drawing the star sign. Choose the 5 point star from the standard Photoshop palette [How to choose 5 point star]. Press [Ctrl+J] to copy two more star sign and move them to the position. After that, use Horizontal Type Tool to type some inside the small circle.

Add star sign and text

Step five: Make the chop more realistic

After finish the last step, we have finished design of our chop. Now, we are going to add some effect to make it more realistic. Merge all layers except the background first. Then apply a Gradient Overlay style to it. [Gradient overlay setting]

Create a new layer under the chop layer and merge it to the chop layer to get all effects in one layer.

Chop with gradient

Use the Erase Tool with pencil mode, brush size of 1px and opacity of 100% and erase chaotically like this.

Erase the chop chaotically

After that change the layer mode to Dissolve. Then, create a new layer below and merge it with the chop layer.

Dissolve layer

Now, scale down the size of chop.

Scale down the size of the chop

Final step: Finalize the effect of the chop

Now let’s go to add the final effect. There are last two thing we need to do for this final effect. We need to  spread the stamp in some place and make it combine to the paper texture.

Firstly, use the Smudge Tool with Normal mode and Strength of 50% to make some smearing.

Smudge the chop

Secondly, add Drop Shadow layer style to the chop layer. [Drop shadow setting]

Add drop shadow style

Some examples

Step one: Create the path of the button

Select Rebounded Rectangle Tool on Tools bar and drag any size you need and fill it in blue with no stroke. Then copy [Ctrl+C] and paste [Ctrl+F] it in front. Scale it down to a small rectangle, fill it in sky blue and drag it slight below the center point of the big blue rectangle.

Use rebounded rectangle tool to create path

Step Two: Create gradient effect

Firstly, select the Blend Tool. Then click the sky blue rectangle and the big blue rectangle. Or you can blend them by selecting both rectangles and go to Object -> Blend -> Make [Ctrl+Alt+B].

Select and blend rectangle

Step Three: Add light reflection

Make a small rebounded rectangle path and fill it with black & white Gradient. Place it on top of the rectangles. Note if your color setting is CMYK, make sure the black for the gradient is full black[C=100, M=100, Y=100, K=100]. Select the small rebounded rectangle, go to Transparency pallate, select Screen Blend Mode. If your Transparency is not showing, go to Window -> Transparency or press [Ctrl+Shift+F10].
