Tutorial from webtutes.com :)

Today i`ll do this:

First make a new page 500×500. Make a Square with rectangle tool (to make it perfect hit shift while doing it) with this color overlay:

Tip: To make the shape vector select “Shape layers” from the rectangle menu :

Next duplicate the square layer and apply color overlay to it:

Then skew the new square like this:

Next, duplicate the first layer and move it under all other layers. Apply color overlay to it:

Now duplicate the second layer too and move it under the other layers too, then apply color overlay to it:

Your box should look like this:

Now, duplicate the right side layer of the box, resize and rotate it until you get this:

81.jpg

To fit it with the box just warp it:

Until it looks like this:

123.jpg

Warp it until it looks real.

Duplicate this layer and move it to the other side. Rotate and warp it until it fits. My box is looks like this:

This box is vector so it can be resized and it will not loose quality. You can add a shadow or a reflection to it but it will not be vector any more. I added a shadow to the right side like this and it looks more realistic:

Enjoy !
