Photoshop

Set your size here, in our example we are using 500x500 pixels at 300 dpi.

300 dpi (dots per inch) is a good starting point as the image will not look jagged.

We can always resize the image later



We now have our workspace



Now click on the Ellipse tool



Drag the shape in to the work space and size accordingly



1. Whilst the shape is active in the layer go to the upper shape tool bar and select the gradient tab

2. double click on gradient colour stop, this will load the colour pallet



2. Now select the other colour stop and double click.

1. Choose your desired colour



1. Choose your desired second colour

2. You will notice the gradient bar is showing yourchosen two colours as the fill for your ellipse shape.



1. use the colour midpoint slider to find the desired gradient level, e.g. more red than black

2. now use the rotate the gradient tool to adjust where the gradient angle will be finalised.



In our logo we adjust the gradient angle with the rotation tool to the bottom right as a shadow

Effect, with a light source coming from the top left.



Now select the ellipse tool again and make a secondsmaller circle and position opposite the shaded area.



With the new circle in place select the solid fill tab from the shape tool bar and select the colour white



With the white ellipse selected click on filters, blur and lens blur.This will blur the ellipse to give a reflective light source effect.



Click on OK again and accept default settings



You should now have a nice pin point reflective shine.



1. Select the Text tool

Type and position your text. This will look flat so we need to curve it now





With the text layer active, click on the create warped text icon





Select bulge, the use the below sliders To adjust the text so it looks like it's

bent round the ball





The text on the logo will move real time toget that perfect look.





To add some depth to the text we are goingto add a drop shadow. Select layer, layer style,

then drop shadow





Using the layer style options you can adjust the shadowAngle and depth, also the light source direction





I really hope this helped you and inspired you in some some of the simple but

effective tools Photoshop has to offer.
