In this tutorial I wish to explain to you the process of creating an ID security Card. In this example I will be creating an ID card for Venus Smith, Security Director for 13dots Security.

Photo Credits to Trueer as I have used her photo.

You'll hopefully have a similar result to this:

Step 1

Create a new 500 x 500 document

Step 2

Create a ID card shape using the "Rounded Rectangle" tool with a radius of about 4px.

Step 3

Duplicate this layer and give it the following blending options.

Note: You see the Fill is set to 0% opacity.

The gradient should be similar to this one:

Step 4

Add the title of the "company" and the logo like this:


Notice that the logo is set to 50%

Step 5

It's time to add the passport-type photo. Resize it so it's the correct size (refer to picture below) and add the stroke as seen below:

Step 6

Time to add some more text!
I added name, DOB, Sector and Clearnace Level. You can add whatever you want. As you can see I added the person's job before their name in a bigger font.

Step 7

Add a black rectangle that will be the "magnetic" strip which will give you the access to top-secret locations

Step 8

Just to give it some more appeal and realostic look, select all the layer and rotate them a bit as seen below:



Then add a drop-shadow:

With the id and the credit cards you can impress even more your buyer, personalizing for him not only his site, bussines card, but also a credit card an an id card for his employes.

This tutorial made me stay at this forum, and it will continue as long as i can dear members <3<3<3

I need help with the gradiant, what are the locations of each of the little tabs? XD

Could you please point me to a aparticular step? Its been many months and new tutorial since I wrote this so I don't remember what steps you are referring to?

the one with the gradiant?

Just mimic the positions in the images, they don't have to be pixel perfect - or if you want to learn something new then experiment with how they go, try out methods that are different to what I said..

Aww very nice and easy to follow , Thanks
