This tutorial demonstrates how to create a simple 3D Software Box

To turn this into a software box , you must: 1.) Start with a 380 pixel x 468 pixel design. A fter I made my design, I merged the
layers. 2.) Use the marquee tool, holding shift to make an equal 54pixel x 54 pixel cutout on the top left corner.

The image will look like this.3.)

You can copy this simple box shape and create a new layer.

4.) Copy with marquee tool and paste the front cover on the box shape.

In the top menu, go to edit / Transform / Distort.

6.) Now you can copy the left side of your art, paste on the shape, and distort.

7.) Do the same for the top layer of the box.

8.) Make a duplicate layer of the top, cut in half, and add a small drop shadow.

Finally, you will end up with a new 3d box like this
