Creating a CD/ DVD logo in photoshop

In this tutorial we'll construct a CD and create a logo out of it.

Start by creating a cicular shape using ellipse tool in a new file.

Enable exclude overlapping shape areas.

Create another small circle in the center of the big ctrcle. As we enabled exclude overlapping shape areas, it will create a small hole in the center of big circle and create a disc shape.
Open the CD cover artwork. Drag it to the main file.
Using transform tool scale the cover artwork according to the disc.

Ctrl+click on the disc layer to get selection.

Press Ctrl+Shift+I to inverse the selection.

Press delete to remove the outer area.
Double click to open the layer style window and enable drop shadow. Use settings as shown.

Now we'll give a perspective look to our CD. Press Ctrl+T to transform the disc. Right click on disc and select perspective.

Adjust the handles till you achieve a nice perapective look..

Press Ctrl +T to scale down the disc.
Type company name "STB SOFT software & more".
In the layer pallete link all the layers (except background layer) and merge the linked layers by pressing Ctrl+E.

 

Double click the merged layer to open layer style window and enable stroke. Use settings as shown.

 

Hence finished our logo. A nice technique for creating disc shape logos for software,CD and DVD rentals etc.
