http://www.proximalabs.com/new/layout.htm on that site, the border of those content boxes are they just black inner glow effect on a plain green box or ? I tried inner glow effect but i didnt get the same result or even close result… so can anyone explain what kind of effects are done for that content box?
I dont thing that is a inner glow but a inner shadow I could be wrong. What program are you using? In fireworks I know a little trick. But all you have to do is make the distance/offset small and mess with the halo effect. If you cannot get it let me know what color and size you need and I can make one for you. But it would be better if you did it.
but to me it looks like the borders could have been done like this
…
select ur main border (ctrl-d on ur shape)
create a new layer above ur main shape
now go to edit>stroke
select a value of 1 or 2 pixels, darkgrey colour (or what u like)
click ok
u’ll now have an outline of ur shape
blur the outline layer till it looks cool
then drag it below ur main shape
it’s not too hard to achieve a very similar effect using this method:
get the shape you want (e.g square, whatever)
give it the colour you want (the main colour)
i don’t use photoshop, so i’m not sure if you can do this, but you need to have a perfectly aligned copy of your main shape that has no b/ground colour, just a stroke… choose the colour that you want the darker edges to be, also the stroke needs to be about 7 pt (experiment)
blur the outline, then either - select the outside bit and delete it or - use a clipping path with the other object, so all you have is the inner half of the blurred thing.
dunno if this is explained well or not…
hope it helps
