1. Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 900x300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black color shade. Now in a new layer set and name it 'Circle Design'. Then in a new layer draw a blue circle with #00BAFF color shade and 177 x 177 px dimensions.

2. Under layer style (layer - layer style) add an inner shadow, inner glow and gradient Overlay blending options to your blue circle layer.

7. Create a new layer set and name it 'futuristic circle design', place your circle design layer inside the layer set. Then create a new layer behind your circle design layer and draw a couple of circle thin frames with #87FFFF color shade. Finish it off with a couple of circles with the same color shade as shown below.

8. Again create a new layer behind your circle design layer and use your brush tool with a soft large brush to paint #3693B5 color shade spots around your circle design. Then lower the opacity level to 10 - 15%.

9. Duplicate your 'futuristic circle design' layer set and merge it through (layer - merge layer set). Now resize the copy really small and set the opacity level to 20-30%. Then add a couple more small futuristic circle designs all around your bigger circle design.

10. Now fill up your canvas with more futuristic circle designs, just add a marquee selection around your original futuristic circle design and copy merged it through Edit. Then paste the copy into your canvas and rotate it through (edit - transform). Set the layer's opacity level down to 10 - 20%.

11. Add more futuristic circle designs on corners with dark shades to make it unique from the rest of the designs.
