Draw a rss to email icon in photoshop

Please Note: Do NOT copy our entire tutorials, we work hard to make these. You are not allowed to translate our tutorials and add them to your site without our permission.



To make it easier, you can make guides as close to the circle, like I did. It will make the ray's easier to make and well aligned as well:



Draw this shape using the pen tool:



Make it a selection then fill it with white color using the paint bucket tool, do not deselect the selection:



Create a new layer and fill the selection again with white color using the bucket tool. Now you have two copies, one on top of another. Press ctrl+t to open the transformation menu and increase the width and height from 100% to 150%:



Align it properly:



You can remove the guides now. Select all the layer with the rss button and its contents and merge them all together. Do not merge the envelope layers in as well. Once done, press ctrl+t and rotate the rss button as shown below:



Align it a bit so the envelope is properly viewable:



Create a new layer, below all the layers and above the background layer, create a new layer. On this layer make this shape using the pen tool:



Right click and make selection with 5px feather and fill it with the color #cccccc, you should see a little grey shadow:



Go to the merged rss button layer and add this inner glow layer effect to give the rss button an extra shine:



You should get the final effect:



I hope this was interesting and easy to understand. If there are any questions let me know through comments or ask in the forum.
