Photoshop 6
I have been playing around, trying
to learn some of the new features in Photoshop 6, and I ended up
with this speaker.
Most of the effects in this tutorial are made from different Layer
Styles.
You can also make this speaker with
Photoshop 5.5, but then you'll have to insert your own values in the
bevel and emboss options.
Well - have fun! |

Figure 1
|
Start with opening a new image, 250
x 250 pixels, white background.
Create a new layer and call it "circle".
Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool and create a circle about the
size in fig. 1 (Press down the shift-key while dragging the selection
to make a perfect circle).
Fill the selection with black.
Now use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to create a new circle a bit
smaller than the first one. Be sure it's placed in the center of
the first circle and hit the Delete key.
You image should now look like figure
1.

|
On
the "circle" layer apply these Layer Styles:
Fig. 2 & 3
|
|
Figure 4
|
I also
stroke the layer with these settings:
Size: 1 px
Position: Outside
Opacity: 47 %
Fill type: Color
Color: Black
Your image should now look like fig. 4. |
|
Figure 5
|
Create a new layer below the
circle layer.
I called this layer circle 2 (Yeah - I know - really original :o)
With the Elliptical Marquee Tool
create a new circle a few pixels bigger than the first circle.
Select a dark brown as your foreground color (#1A1A1A) and a lighter
brown as background color (#4D4D4D).
Select the Linear Gradient Tool and fill your selection going from
the top to the bottom of your selection. Deselect.

On the "circle
2" layer apply these Layer Styles:
Fig. 6 & 7
Your image should now
look like fig. 5.
