Step 1

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×600 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with #0C0C0C color shade. Then make a new layer set and name it 'Spaceship Design'.

Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool, above your screen under the options palette choose Fill Pixels, set the radius to 60 px and check anti-aliased. In a new layer draw a dark gray rounded rectangle with #4B4B4B color shade and 142 x 232 px dimensions.
