What You'll Need

1. How to Crop an Image in Photoshop

Open the cafe shop image in Photoshop. Select the Crop Tool (C) and drag the bottom crop up to the middle like the image below. Press Enter.

2. How to Make a 2D Mockup Glass Window

Step 1

Select the Rectangle Tool (U) and create a square that's 2300 x 2300 px. Name this layer '2D mockup'. Right-click this layer in the Layers panel and select Convert to Smart Object.

Step 2

Adjust the square so that it lines up with the window using Edit > Transform > Distort. Click and drag each corner so that it looks similar to the image below. Duplicate this layer by right-clicking > New Smart Object via Copy. Name this layer '3D mockup'. We will use it later.

Step 3

Double-click inside the smart object in the Layers panel. Open the law logo in Illustrator. Customize your logo. For this tutorial, I am using "Johnson Law Office". Copy (Command-C) and paste (Command-V) this logo into the smart object window in Photoshop. File > Save this smart object and close this window.

Step 4

Double-click the '2D Mockup' layer and apply several layer styles. Let's start off with Bevel & Emboss. Use these settings:
