Begin your work by creating a new file (File>New) of 1280x1024 px and 72 dpi. Using the Rectangle Tool (U), try to make the first background's element of the picture we want to get in the end. The element's color is #301C13.
Applying the same tool, try to make the second element of the background, this time of black color.
Using the Rectangle Tool (U) continue representing the next element of the background, having the color #2E2017.
Select one more time the mentioned above instrument to create a horizontal line, colored with #BD9A72.
Select the Rectangle Tool (U) to make another element of the picture to be. The flatness may be inclined, applying Free Transform selection. The color is #F3D895.
Next we should find in Internet a photo, having represented on it a city.
Cut out the city's elements.
Select the next demonstrated parameters for the city's layer by making a mouse click on this layer on the layers' palette. Blending Options>Color Overlay.
Insert the city's silhouette on the left top corner of the picture. The silhouette's layer must be inclined with Free Transform selection.
Applying the well-known Rectangle Tool (U), we should represent now a small line along the diagonal. The layer's color is #590D00. It may be inclined with the same Free Transform solution.
Using the same tool and the same method, try to make the next inclined line, having the color #F86E0C.
Next we shall create one more line in an inclined position also, choosing the color for it #23120A.
The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Stroke.
Select again the Rectangle Tool (U) to draw this time three thin black lines, which must be inclined too with Free Transform option.
Now it's time to choose the Pen Tool (P) to draw several rays situated lower than the layer containing the city's silhouette. Their color is #D2B476.
Now we shall apply the Ellipse Tool (U) to draw a circle, colored with #897253.
The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Outer Glow.
Blending Options>Inner Glow.
Make a copy of the circle's layer and select then the Free Transform option to make the copy smaller, changing also the parameters for the copy's layer (Blending Options>Outer Glow>Elements>size 10px; Blending Options>Inner Glow>Elements>size 10px), placing the new layer lower than the layer containing the big circle.
Make a copy this time of the recently made copy's layer. Select then the Free Transform option to make the copy smaller, situating this new copy lower than the layer containing the big circle.
Applying the same method, try to make one more circle's copy.
Select the Ellipse Tool (U) to represent a small circle, colored with #9D8A6A. This one should be placed lower also than the layer containing the big circle.
The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Outer Glow.
Blending Options>Inner Glow.
Make three copies of the layer containing the circle and choose again Free Transform option to place the copies as below.
Choose once again the Ellipse Tool (U) to draw an element of the ornament on the city's silhouette, as you may see on the picture from below:
The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay.
Gradient's parameters:
Blending Options>Stroke.
Make three copies of the last made layer and using Free Transform selection, try to situate the copies the same way demonstrated next picture, changing also the copies' sizes.
Next step includes creating two small lines above the layer containing the city's silhouette. This operation must be done with the Rectangle Tool (U). The Free Transform option will be used for turning the elements around. The layers with the lines should be placed lower than the layer containing the big circle and the layers containing the attached circles to the biggest one.
Applying the same tool and the same method try to make another small black line which layer should be positioned lower than the layer with the big circle and the layers with the circles attached to the biggest one.
Select again the Ellipse Tool (U) to represent several small circles, placing them lower than the layer containing the big circle.
The layer's parameters: Blending Options>Outer Glow.
Blending Options>Inner Glow
