Hi..

I want to draw this in photoshop:

A big red filled circle in the middle of an A4 paper size.

A black filled outer ring 0.5 centimeters and a black filled inner ring 0.5

So the most outer ring is black, then the next ring is yellow and the inner filling is red.

This all centered inside A4.

An extra something would be to let the black gradient to yellow and maybe yellow to red.

What would be the best/easiest way to do that ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

First I would make a new layer. Then I would go to View>New guide>horizontal and type in 50%. Then New guide vertical 50%. This will give you a center point. Choose the Oval marquee tool, hold down the Alt and Ctrl keys and drag from the center of the image out to the size of circle you want. Make sure the new layer is selected and fill the selection with black. Go to Select>Transform selection>type in about 84% in Width and 84% in Height to reduce the selection by about 0.5cm. You will have to play with these numbers to get what you want. Make new layer. Fill selection with yellow. Go to Transform selection again and reduce by the same amount you used above. Make a new layer and fill with red. Now Choose the black layer and the circular gradient and play with the gradients until you get to the image you want. This last part will require that you just play around with the gradient but playing around with PS is fun if you don’t have a deadline ahead of you.

Euhm what’s a guide ?

It says 0 in… so I just replace it with 50… nothing happens ?

Ah yes.. cool is see what the problem was…

Not 50… but 50% <- procent sign 😀

Then New guide vertical 50%. This will give you a center
point.

Super cool… this will make two blue lines… one vertical and one horizontal 😀

I also locked them so they dont move 😀

Choose the Oval marquee tool, hold down the Alt and Ctrl keys and drag from the center of the image out to the size of circle you want.

Ok this is called the elipse tool

Ok… so first I press on the blue cross and then I hold down the shift and alt keys…
that makes the circle center and makes it a real circle… so I dont press the control key.

Make sure the new layer is selected and fill the selection with black. Go
to
Select>Transform selection>type in about 84% in Width and 84% in Height to reduce the selection by about 0.5cm. You will have to play with these

Cool I choose load selection

and then rescale it… so it makes a new circle…

Excellent 😀

numbers to get what you want. Make new layer. Fill selection with yellow.
Go
to Transform selection again and reduce by the same amount you used above. Make a new layer and fill with red. Now Choose the black layer and the circular gradient and play with the gradients until you get to the image
you
want. This last part will require that you just play around with the gradient but playing around with PS is fun if you don’t have a deadline ahead of you.

Ok… Cool I get it 😀

Thx dude 😀

Use the right tool for the job. The best and easiest way to drive nails is with a hammer, not a screwdriver.

Use Illustrator, not Photoshop.
