Chalkboard Design.
Step 1:
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×400 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black color. Now make a new layer then draw a lighter brown rectangle with #451008 color shade and 346 x 179 px dimensions.
Step 2:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Satin and Pattern Overlay blending options to your lighter brown rectangle layer as below.
Result:
Now you will have something like this.
Step 3:
In a new layer draw a large dark rectangle with #0A0607 color shade and 328 x 163 px dimensions.
Step 4:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Outer Glow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your dark rectangle layer from step three.
Result:
Now you have glass effect to your board
Step 5:
Now create a new layer then draw a smaller black rectangle with 289 x 123 px dimensions on the center of the chalkboard design.
Step 6:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow and Pattern Overlay blending options to your smaller black rectangle layer. Then set the layer’s blending mode to Lighten at 93% opacity level.
Result:
Step 7:
Create a new layer, with your rounded rectangle tool draw a small white rounded rectangle with 16 x 3 px dimensions just below the chalkboard design - this will be the chalk.
Step 8:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your small white rounded rectangle layer.
Result:
Step 9:

Step 10:
In a new text layer type your name or whatever text you want to add on the chalkboard.
Step 11:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow blending option to your text layer.
