This can be very tricky depending on the technicality of the overall design, and the various elements being used.

In this web design tutorial, I will show you how to create a dark web layout in Photoshop. We will try to keep gradients to a minimum and rely more on creating textures and patterns for the different areas of our web layout to give it a pleasant look and feel.
