In this lesson you will learn how to realistically draw a CD from scratch!
Create a new document size 1000 × 800 pixels and resolution 72 dpi.
Now we need to open the texture on which we will draw the disk. You can take any texture. We, for example, take this:
And now let’s start creating a disk. First, create a new layer. Layer> New> Layer (Layer> New> Layer), or Shift + Ctrl + N. Let’s call it “Circle”. Make this layer active. Take the tool Ellipse Tool 
(Ellipse), and holding the Shift key draw a circle. Next, fill it with color b5c1c0:
We rasterize our circle Layer> Rasterize> Layer (Layer> Rasterize> Layer).
Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the layer. The circle itself will stand out.
So now Select> Transform Selection (Select> Transform Selected Area) decreases the selected area horizontally and vertically to 15%. Hold the space bar and press the Enter key twice. By this we confirm the reduction of the selection. Click Delete:
Now you need to copy this layer (Ctrl + J). Hide a copy of a layer with a circle by clicking on the eye in the layers palette. We return to the lower original layer with the circle, make it active. Opacity is reduced to 25%.
Layer> Layer Style> Blending Options (Layer> Layer Style> Blend Options)
Add the emboss style:
Go to a copy of the layer with a circle, do not forget to make it visible. Hold Ctrl and click on the layer thumbnail to get the layer selection.
Select> Transform Selection (Select> Transform selection). We are also reducing selection here, but by 95% both horizontally and vertically.
Then Select> Inverse (Selection> Invert). Highlight the entire document. Click Delete:
Remove inversion (Shift + Ctrl + I). Then Select> Transform Selection (Select> Transform selected area) and decrease again to 37% horizontally and vertically. Press Delete, remove selection with Ctrl + D:
Great, now we need to make the surface of our disk. For this we choose the tool. 
(Gradient) and open the gradient editor and do something similar to this:
We will have a gradient Noise (Noise). You can experiment with this Color Model to get the desired result.
To do this, press the button Randomize (Another variant).
Then Select> Load Selection (Select> Load selected area) fill it with our cone (angle gradient) gradient as shown in the picture:
Duplicate the Ctrl + J layer, change the blending mode to Screen (Lightening)
Looks good, right? Now we need to draw another dark line, but for the text.
Select> Load Selection (Selection> Load Selection). After that, select> Transform Selection (Selection> Transform the selected area) and put 107% vertical and horizontal.
Press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection.
Create a new layer and fill it with black.
Ok, hold Ctrl, click on the “Circle” layer to load the selected area and set the values by 75%, confirm. Ctrl + Shift + I and Delete. Here is what we get:
Reduce layer opacity to 35%
Now is the time to add text. But first we will draw a stroke on which the text will be placed. Take the tool Ellipse Tool (Ellipse) in contour mode 
and draw a circle of the desired diameter.
A little patience, and everything will turn out … Now the Horizontal type tool (Horizontal Text), and write everything your heart desires.
So great. But something is missing … And not enough light reflection. For this we take 
(Polygonal lasso), and fill the selection with white.
Ctrl + D (Select> Unselect)
Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur (Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur) – set the radius 15px.
Filter> Blur> Radial Blur (Filter> Blur> Radial Blur) and with these settings:
We get this:
Now hold down Ctrl and click on the “Circle” layer. Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection. And the Delete key:
Set the opacity to 70%
Done! True cool !!!
