Hello. Today we are going to practice some design. For this one I'm using Photoshop version 9 or CS 2. The basic thing about the design is shape and color, so we will do some shaping and color them in the end.

Create a new document and a layer.



Make a round selection and copy it to a separate layer. As the color is white (like on the background) fill the newly copied layer with some color.











I like it to be a little bluer.



I will use object's border as a different layer and its style will be completely different.

So Alt+Click on the layer selecting it; go to Select > Modify > Border and make a 33 pixel border.











When the selection is done, copy the layer to a new separate layer.



There we have it. Now let's style the border using layer styles.
