iTunes Interface

The iTunes interface design is enjoyed by all it seems and now you can see how the wizards do it. Select the "Rounded Rectagular Tool" with a radius of 100% draw a shape like below with white as its color.

		Now that you have your shape, you can now right click on the shape layer and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on "Drop Shadow ".
			use settings at left
		Do not click OK yet... still more to do

		Lets give it some color now by clicking on the "Gradient Overlay".
			use settings at left
		You may now click OK

You should now have the following image.

Now select the "Elipse Tool" and draw a circle as I have done below with F2F2F2 as your foreground color. Hold in the shift key to draw a perfect circle.

Now select the "Custom Shape Tool" and find the below shape in the shapes palette and draw it. Hold in the shift key to draw it perfectly round.

		Now that you have your shape, you can now right click on the shape layer and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on "Drop Shadow".
			use settings at left

Now add some text to the display. I used Verdana as the typeface with 667413 as my color.

As you can see, I have also added some other essentials that bring the interface to life a bit. Be creative and have fun.
