Step 7

Go back to our artboard document, press CTRL+V to paste selected food bowl image. Before downscaling the food bowl, convert it into a Smart Object first.

Step 8

Add Drop Shadow layer style for food bowl layer. Set the Opacity: 9%, Angle: 90, Distance: 7 and Size: 0.

Step 9

Click OK to apply drop shadow layer style. Below, you can see the result.

Step 10

We’re going to make a vector sunburst effect. For your convenience, let’s do this on a new document. Create another document, set the width and height to 800 pixels each. Click OK.

Step 11

Use the Polygon tool to create a black triangle shape with no stroke.

Step 12

Press CTRL+T to transform triangle shape, make it taller. See image below as your reference. Don’t hit ENTER yet.

From option bar, change the reference point to center-bottom. Tilt the triangle clockwise around 15 degree. Hit ENTER to apply transformation.

Step 14

We can repeat transformation and also copy the shape at the same time by pressing ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+T. Do this once to see how it works.

Step 15

Repeat copying and transforming triangle shape until you got a full-round circle.

Step 16

In order to make the background transparent, remove the background layer. Save this document into .psd file with appropriate name like ‘sunburst’ or something like that.

Step 17

Go back to our artboard document. Insert the sunburst.psd file using the File> Place Embedded menu.

Step 18

Upscale sunburst image until it large enough to cover the artboard length. Don’t forget to drag sunburst layer inside artboard group, place it between rectangle copy and food bowl layer.

Step 19

Change sunburst layer into a clipping mask by pressing ALT+CTRL+G. Change sunburst layer blend mode to Soft Light and lower the Opacity to 10%.

Step 21

Grab the Polygon tool, select Combine shape button from the option bar (this way, new polygon shape will created within the same layer as ellipse shape).
