Step 5 Place the stripe pattern on top of the form. Group the selection as one object, tap Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + F9 for the Pathfinder window, then select the Merge option tab and use the Direct Selection tool (A) to delete excess paths. Use the Selection tool (V) to tweak the dimensions and angle of the new element.


Step 6 Now copy and select Shape 4 from the downloaded file. Click Effect > 3D > Revolve to bring up the 3D Revolve Options Window. Press OK and the default Off-Axis Front Position will give you an instant sphere. You can create various spheres by using the Eyedropper tool (I) and selecting different colour swatches.



Step 7 Next, open Photoshop and hit Cmd/Ctrl + N to create a new Canvas. Specify the size and resolution of the file. I normally go with an A4 size and 300dpi for a lot of design projects. Press F7 to bring up the Layers Panel and change the background colour to black using the Paint Bucket tool (G).
