Tabs always seems to be a difficult element to design in Photoshop. So feel free to use these as a template and download the tabs PSD below.

Download the Progress Bar and Matching Buttons PSD below.

Download the Page Curl PSD below.

You can replace the layer within the PSD to replicate what I’ve shown, or you can reverse the effect with some minor editing. Place your artwork on top of the base layer and add a clipping mask to it. Then delete the original layer i have masked at the top, and adjust your curl color to whatever you want.

The site is built on ExperssionEngine
