This is a very simple effect to create a nice reflection. We have been asked a couple times to create so here is a very nice quick tips that you can use and abuse since it already is a big trend in web design and also very used for other types of design.
So, to start out I need an image to create the reflection, I'm going to use an iphone for this one, you can use whatever you like, this works out really well with icon and typography.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for the Easy iOS Wallpaper in Photoshop tutorial, that was the tutorial of last week. It's a very simple but elegant wallpaper with a sort of linen texture.
