Step 1

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×500 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black color. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Apple's Monitor Design'. Then in a new layer draw a large rectangle with #F4F4F4 color shade and 395×250 px dimensions.

Step 2

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Drop Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your white rectangle layer.
