Step 1:

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×500 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with white. Now create a new layer then draw a large rectangle with #0A0A0A color shade and 396×233 px dimensions.

Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your rectangle layer.

Result:

Step 3:

In a new layer draw a gray rectangle with #545559 color shade and 379×212 px dimensions.

Step 4:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to the gray rectangle layer.

Step 5:

Create a new layer, just below the screen design draw a thin gray rectangle with #B7B3B4 color shade and 396×5 px dimensions.

Step 6:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your thin gray rectangle layer.

Step 7:

Create a new layer then draw another thin rectangle with #14181B color shade and 396 x 13 px dimensions.

Step 8:

Select the Horizontal Type Tool then set the font family to Arial, bold, 7 pt, smooth and white color shade. In a new text layer type 'JVC' on the bottom end of the plasma. Then in a new layer brush a small shade of #32D9FF just below the JVC text.

Step 9:

Create a new layer then draw a small white rectangle with 36x19 px dimensions below the plasma design, make sure you place this layer behind all current layers on the Layers Window.

Step 10:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Satin blending options to your small white rounded rectangle layer.

Result:

Step 11:

Create a new layer, using your Polygonal Lasso Tool create the slanted shape with #53585B color shade shown below.

Step 12:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Satin and Gradient Overlay blending options to your slanted rectangle layer.





The inner shadow settings should be left as defualt (change them if you wish to get a different result).

Result:

End Result
