Creating a New Document

The first step in designing an app in Photoshop is to create a new document. To do this, click on the File menu and select New.

A new window will appear where you can set the width, height, and resolution of your document. For this example, we will set the width to 640 pixels, the height to 1136 pixels, and the resolution to 72 pixels/inch.

Adding Layers

Once you have created your new document, it’s time to start adding layers. Layers are like individual pieces of paper that you can stack on top of each other to create your image.

To add a new layer, click on the Layer menu and select New Layer. A new layer will appear in your document.

You can name your layers by double-clicking on the name of the layer in the Layers panel and typing in a new name. For this example, we will name our first layer “Background.”

Next, we need to add an image to our Background layer. To do this, click on the File menu and select Open.

Select an image from your computer and click Open. The image will appear on your Background layer.

If you want to move your image around on the Background layer, you can click on the Move tool in the Toolbox or press V on your keyboard. Then, click on the image and drag it to reposition it.

Adding Text

Now that we have our Background layer set up, we can start adding some text. To do this, click on the Type tool in the Toolbox or press T on your keyboard.

Then, click somewhere in your document and start typing. The text will appear on its own layer above the Background layer.

You can move the text around by clicking on the Move tool or pressing V on your keyboard. Then, click on the text and drag it to reposition it.

You can also change the font size by selecting Type > Font Size from the menu or pressing Ctrl+Shift+T (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+T (macOS). A window will appear where you can enter a new font size.

Now that we know how to add text, let’s learn how to style it using HTML tags.
