Designing a Super Cool CD Sticker |
| Start by creating circular frame shape using custom shape tool. |
 |
| Using direct selection tool select inner nodes as shown and press Ctrl+T. |
 |
| Scale down the points to create a small hole. These outer and inner circle size should be in synch with actual CD dimensions. |
 |
| Fill it with gray color. |
 |
| Duplicate the layer. Again select the outer nodes and scale down a bit and select inner nodes and scale up a bit both using direct selection tool. |
 |
| Double click the layer to open layer style window. Apply settings as shown. |
 |
 |
 |
| Create a big circle using elliptical shape tool. Press Ctrl+Alt+G to create a clipping mask. |
 |
| Similarly create two more circles with different colors and different placement. Press Ctrl+Alt+G to create a clipping mask for each layer. |
 |
| Create a sun shape using custom shape tool. |
 |
| Press Ctrl+Alt+G to create a clipping mask. |

| Similarly create more shapes according to the topic of your CD ROM. We’re creating a CD ROM for Horoscope software so we are placing suns and planets etc. You can also insert images too. Create clipping mask for all shapes. |
 |
| Create a circle almost half the size of outer circle. Using type tool click on this path to type your text on it. |
