How to Create Cool Buttons
We’ll make a button first, then we’ll do some text later on. Open up Photoshop, make a new layer, and draw a small circular selection with the elliptical marquee tool. Hold SHIFT to make a perfect circle.



Now you need to fill it, but to add some depth to this mutha, we’ll use the gradient fill tool. Select the gradient tool, and select “Radial Gradient.”

I’m going to make an orange one, so select your foreground color as light orange, and your background color as dark orange.


Now lets start on the highlight. This part is easy if you know the right tricks. I don’t know the right tricks though, so you’re basically screwed.

Create a new layer, and draw another circle in front of your original, but use a white fill.
