So let's get started with making a document with these dimensions.

Quite big I think and the print parameters are 300 DPI. I recommend you to have at least 2 Gb or Ram to work fast with such large documents.
Create a new layer and overlay it with simple liner style black to white gradient.

Tnx to layer modes in Photoshop you can create quite interesting effects. For example I've created a new layer, overlaid it with black to white gradient, only this time round and set the layer mode to Color Burn.

Now I can control certain areas, filling it with smooth gradation of black to white. You should try it.

Next step: Vinyl I did find some final references, mostly to find out the pattern of music lines on the vinyl.

.. And this is how I recreated them in Photoshop: Take' a rounded area, create a new layer.

Fill the area with black.

Make a smaller selection right in the center to paint some sort of graphics.

I'm using torn edge brushes for this, very abstract and fast: Basically a color tweak.

Leave the selection on all the time. Paste some text there.

Next step: vinyl pattern. I figured out how to this fast while looking once again on the vinyl.
Here are the gradient settings first. Here is the gradient itself - as you can see I'm using noise gradient.


De-saturate the layer leaving it without colors but with pattern that we need.

Lower the opacity.




It really seams painted like - I want to drop some shadows and lighting.
Here is the shadow line- where our shadow will be.

I also made a copy of vinyl pattern - so it is more intensive now.

Drop a mask on this layer.

Choose this gradient with settings below.

Use this gradient to hide the part of the pattern making it darker.

A little tweak - make a selection ( or a path ) - make work patch out of it ( or don't ) - choose type tool and type the letters on the circle.


Select the circle ( the one that is in the center ) - and apply a small gradient tweak - for more colors.

Next step: Complex lighting.
I have discovered a very good way to lightened up the 2d surfaces. It was quite easy - I've just used lighter ( white this time ) gradients on a top layer.

More to that I'm going to decorate my lightened surface with this: I'm using basic round rough brush.
Those who are lucky to have a tablet will get better result I think. Just erase.






I recommend you to save this brush as a New Brush Preset - it will be saved with settings too. We will also need this brush to paint with.
Create a new layer chose this brush - (your saved brush) - choose white color - lower that opacity to about 80% and paint some of these dots.


Some black maybe too (on a new layer).

Opacity to the layer that has back spots is very low - represents shadows.

Next step: lighting technique.
Lightened:


See how many of these lights I have- just copied them.

One good at the top:

Some text adjustments:

Oh yeah almost forgot about the whole in the center. Make a new layer and tap just once with black color brush.

And I sake of realism - just apply inner shadow. I've also applied noise filter to the color circle in the center so it might feel real- like paper.


See how lights came out well.


All the purple layers are the foreground (2d) lights.

And this is basically it: oh yeah here is my text part done in illustrator - if you watch it carefully you can make it. Basically type is involved here.

So tnx for watching this tutorial and see you next time with more designs or illustrations.
