Tutorial in Basics, Designing, Drawing, Web
If you are looking for a style for a logo or you lack of ideas, this is the tutorial you will need o check out. It will be very useful for you to learn how to apply these ((Layer Styles)): ((Drop Shadow)), ((Inner Shadow)), ((Gradient Overlay)) in a logo. We will create shinny stars.
Open a new document (440×440px and transparent background).
We will create a degraded background. Select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Lineal Gradient)), and trace the gradient from top to bottom using these colors: #012f82 and #2a4182.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Select ((Shape Tool)) and, from the options bar located in the superior part of the window, choose the star that comes with Photoshop.
Choose color #7aa3ff as the main color.
Draw it in the center of the document.
Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Inner Shadow)).
((Gradient Overlay)). For this gradient, choose the colors: #4985ff and #91a1fe.
Accept the changes and check out the results in the following image.
Create a ((New Layer)).
In this new layer, draw a star inside the other. I recommend you to press Alt while you draw it, so that it grows proportionally from the center.
Ctrl + Click the layer to activate the selection.
Now stand in the first star layer and press delete.
Finally, in new layers, create small stars all around the bigger one and apply the same ((Layer Styles)).
