Today we are going to use an easy way to create our own POST-IT's on Photoshop. On we go mates :)
1-Create a new document with the following settings:

2-Create a new layer by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+N and name it "yellow".

3-Now, select the
Rectangular Marquee Tool and draw, with the
SHIFT key pressed draw a square shape.

4-Choose your foreground color to a yellow color. Here I used
#fcf185, and then click
ALT+BACKSPACE so the square shape will be filled with our selected color or you can use the
Paint Bucket Tool to do the same effect.

5-Create another layer by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+N and name it "darker yellow".

6-Select once again the
Rectangular Marquee Tool but this time with
Subtract from Selection option.

7-Now create another square shape on the bottom of the our figure to deselect that part, because we only want the top of the selection that we created on 3rd step.

8-Choose a darker yellow as your foreground color (
#ece179), select the
Gradient tool, and choose the gradient that goes from dark yellow to transparent.

9-With the
Gradient tool select drag from the top of the selection to the bottom. And click
CTRL+D to deselect our small selection.

10-Change the opacity of the layer to 80%.

11-Click to select the layer named "yellow" and press
CTRL+J to duplicate it. And on the duplicated layer click
CTRL+U to open the
Hue/Saturation settings, and you'll have to define the value of
lightness to -100% to make the layer completely black. To finish this step, place the duplicated layer below the "yellow" layer and lower it's opacity to 35%.

12-Now, select the "yellow" layer and go to
EDIT>TRANSFORM>WRAP. Drag the bottom right point to raise the Post-it edge. When you are happy with your effect click
ENTER to leave the transformation mode.

13-You can do the same for the bottom left point or leave it as it is. Select the "yellow copy" layer that is our shadow and go to
FILTER>BLUR>GAUSSIAN BLUR and set the value of the radius to 10.

14-At last, select the
Horizontal Type Tool and write whatever you wish on the Post-it. Change the opacity of the text layer to 63%.

15- Here is my result. I decreased the size of the shadow to make it more realistic, lifted another point of the Post-it at left.

Olá, gosto muito dos teus tutoriais!! Sempre aprendo alguma coisinha nova que não conhecia do photoshop... é engraçado que já trabalho no photoshop há mais de 5 anos e de cada vez que vejo tutoriais aprendo algo novo ou descubro formas novas e, às vezes, mais simples de fazer determinadas coisas.
Continua!!!!
