Step 3 – Drawing the Border: Duplicate the highlights layer and name this new layer as border. Go to Edit > Free Transform to scale the shape smaller vertically than the shape in highlights layer. Right-click on this layer and select Blending Options > Color Overlay. Set the color to #1F2326. Step 4 – Highlight the Border: Create a new layer on top of border and name it as bhighlights. While you are on bhighlights layer, Ctrl+click on border layer to load selection. Go to Select > Modify > Contract with 3px. Then Select > Modify > Feather with 2px. Fill this selection with #FFFFFF.

Fill the shape with a gradient where the foreground is #2D3037 and background is #000000. Step 6 – Drawing the Speaker: Create a new layer and name it as speaker. Use the Rounded Rectangle tool with radius 2px, draw a small rounded rectangle that is around 25px from top of the base. Fill the top half of shape with #000000 and bottom half with #828384. Step 7 – Drawing the Screen: Create a new layer and name it as screen.

Select the Brush tool and set the size to 2px and color to #666666. Select the Pen tool and right-click on the rounded rectangle path then select Stroke Path.

Change your foreground color to #333333. Select the Pen tool and right-click on the circular path then select Stroke Path. Step 9 – Drawing the Icon: Create a new layer and name it as icon.
