Welcome to another one of my tutorials! This was originally for my other site, and i decided to post it here.

Step 1 - make a 500x500px white background image.

Step 2 - Grab your Rectangular Marquee tool and then set your foreground colour to #434343 . Press Alt + BACKSPACE . this should make your canvas go darkish grey. Then create a new layer.

Step 3 - On this new layer, Using your rectangular marquee tool, make a squared shape, right click and press Stroke. Use the settings shown below. (7px, white, inside)
