This is my very first tutorial to write, so please bear with me

BUTTON TUTORIAL YAY!
Here’s what we’re creating:

For this tutorial you will need:
***Photoshop
***Lokas Artistic Effects Plug-In

CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO SEE MY SETTINGS.

-Set your foreground color to whatever color you’d like your button to be
( I used #a55cc5)
-Select your Ellipse tool :

-Make your circle using the tool, and then go to VIEW,
and uncheck “extras” to get rid of the shape outline.

-next we’re going to add some effects to make the circle look like a button.
Go to Filter, and click on Lokas, then play around with the settings
until you get your button looking the way you like it. Here are the settings I used:

-Now all that’s left to do is decorate the button, so make a new layer and add a brush, pattern etc…
-Then you can play around with the layer style settings
-I used the Penta Jeans Plug-In to add the stripes to my button,
but you could always just apply a striped pattern.
-Then I animated mine by adjusting the outer glow in image ready.
-Also if you’d like your button to have a border, add a stroke to your ellipse layer
