How to design a high tech style ring

In this tutorial, you will learn the very simple technique of creating a hi-tech ring. You just need to know some skills for this great effect. You want to use a very large canvas simply because the image loses quality when you do this and youll want ti be able to shrink it.

1. Start out with a square canvas painted black. Note that if your canvas isn’t square, your ring will be an oblong. Start a new layer, grab your Rectangular Marquee tool and start making technical looking sheets.

2. Now make a few more layers of this, and merge them together (Ctrl + E).

3. Now here comes the fun part, go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates, select Rectangular to Polar and click OK. You now have a cool techring.

4. Add a Edit > Transform > Distort, a Color Balance layer, an Outer Glow, and a background gradient, and you’ve got a nice techring.
