I’m a big fan of the mini LCD sceens, that’s why I want to share it with you. In order to do so, we will use ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)), ((Drop Shadow)), ((Gradient Overlay)), ((Stroke)), ((Bevel and Emboss)), ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)), ((Color Overlay)), ((Free Transform)), and ((Brush Tool)).
Open a new document, 400×400px, and white background.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Select ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)) to trace a selection as the one you see below.
Fill it in with black.
Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #adadad and #ffffff.
((Stroke)).
Accept the changes.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Select ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)) again and draw another rectangular selection over the first one.
Fill it in with white.
Go to ((Layer Styles)) and apply:
((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #adadad and #ffffff.
((Stroke)).
Accept the changes.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Choose white as the foreground color.
Select ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)): 15px and draw this rectangle:
Double click the layer to apply the following ((Layer Styles)).

((Bevel and Emboss)) – ((Contour)).
((Color Overlay)).

Select ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)): 10px and then draw the following rectangle.
Before going to the following step, download the mini screen wallpaper by clickng HERE.
Open the image in Photoshop and, with ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), adapt it like this.
Ctrl + Click the rectangle layer to activate the selection.
Invert the selection. ((Select))-((Inverse)).
Stand in the layer where the wallpaper is and press delete.
Create a ((New Layer)).
As you can see in the image below, I added a button and the screen brand’s name.
Ctrl + Click the wallpaper’s layer to activate the selection.
Create a ((New Layer)) and, with ((Brush Tool)), size: 300px, and ((Hardness)) 0%, paint a small shine in the top side of the screen.
