So today, I was just thinking of exactly what type of Photoshop tutorial I could write about, and maybe even give a few hints to people out there in the fields of designing with Photoshop. An idea of creating the Dashboard Clock from my MacBook seemed amusing to me, so I decided to go with it for this Photoshop tutorial. I was doing this the first time, so there might be some rough edges since I never edited it, but it should give you a basic understanding. By the way, those who were wondering about the wallpaper, the current one used is created by me, and the tutorial is coming shortly.

I just want to let you guys know that this tutorial is for more advanced users of Photoshop, so if you’re just starting out, you might not exactly get everyting, as it’s not so detailed. We will start by creating the base of the clock with the drop shadow, so you can play with the setting of the drop shadow. Mine was set to aproximately 50%.
