2. I started of by using the gradient tool from dark blue to
black, I will use this to make the background

3. I then use the gradient to paint from the centre to the
exterior of the page which turned out like this

4. I used the eclipse tool , set it to white and created a
perfect circle for on top of my background

5. I then started to edit the layer style and went to outer
glow which I changed to my preferred settings

6. I then changed the settings for the drop shadow
effect using the layer style

7. This is the result so far after changing the layer
style of my circle

8. I then had to rasterize the shape layer of the moon which
resulted in a softer outline where you couldn’t see the black line
around the outer edge

9. I then went to Select -> Load Selection which highlighted
the whole shape of my moon so I could edit upon it

10. I now want to start adding detail onto my moon. To do
this I went to Filter -> Render -> Clouds

11. This is the result after adding the clouds effect

12. I then wanted to make it look more like a sphere so I
went to filter -> Distort -> Spherize

13. This made it slightly different and balanced the cloud
effect out more to make it more realistic

14. To finish off I went to Layer -> Layer Style -> Color
Overlay and changed the settings

15. This is my final result of making the moon
