	Basic Interface and TV Lines The basis of this tutorial is not showing how to make the coolest interface, but to show how to use the copy/duplicate commands you need to whip things out quick rather then having 20 duplicate layers and always having your objects paste off alignment, I'll show how to fix that. We will be using Gradients, as it enables us to do this a lot faster. You can see, making a control pad does take a little time and there are a lot more steps to do, I've tried to make it as short as possible.

#1: Make a new RGB image, 200 width by 300 height. Fill the background layer with a dark color.

#2: Make a New Layer and name it "Buttons". Choose the Rectangular Marquee tool. Hold down the shift key and make a square marquee, this will be your button so don’t go too crazy on the height.

keyboard to set the foreground and

Now release the mouse button first, then the shift key.
