We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas at a size of 283 x 152 then select the "Elipse Tool ". Draw a circle as illustrated using f1f1f1 as the color. Name this layer "Gray Circle ".

Using the "Elipse Tool " once again draw a circle this time using 3f84e2 as the color. Name this layer "Blue Circle ".

Now go back to the "Grey Circle " layer and rasterize it by going to the main menu and selecting "Layer " then "Rasterize " and lastly "Shape ". Next go to "Edit " and lastly "Cut " to rid the center of the "Grey Circle ". Drag the "Blue Circle " so it is beneath the "Grey Circle " in the Layers Palette.

As you can see, I have two bells and they are angled. To angle the "Bell " layer, go to the main menu and choose "Edit " then "Free Transform ". While holding in the "Shift " key on your keyboard, rotate the "Bell " layer till it reaches -30 degrees in the options palette. Duplicate the "Bell " layer then go to the main menu and select "Edit " then "Transform " and lastly "Flip Horizontally ". Move to it's appropriate spot and place beneath the "Grey Circle " layer in the layer palette.

Then select the "Elipse Tool ". Draw a circle as illustrated using 3f84e2 as the color. Name this layer "Clock Legs ". Place beneath the "Grey Circle " layer in the layer palette.

Next we will need to move the bottom anchor point of the "Clock Legs " layer. To do this select the "Direct Selection Tool " and select the bottom anchor point as I have done below. Now, using the up arrow key and "Shift " key on your keyboard, move that anchor point up three times as illustrated below. Then move the outside anchor points in once while holding in the "Shift " key as well.

Then give it a "Drop Shadow " by right clicking the merged clock peices layer and selecting, "Blending Options... ". Now click on "Drop Shadow ". Settings for that are: Angle: 113 Distance:1 Size: 2

Then select the "Elipse Tool ". Draw a circle as illustrated using Black as the color. Name this layer "Shadow ". Place beneath the "Clock Legs " layer in the layer palette.

Tool - and that's it. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
