In this tutorial, you will learn how to create 3D callout icon. It look really cool. The result will be like this:

Fill the background with black color. Draw this white colored shape using ellipse tool.

Press “+” from the numeric keypad. Select pen tool and draw the shape as shown.

It’ll be like this.

Apply the gradient

It’ll be like this.

Create another ellipse.

Apply similar gradient overlay as we applied in our first shape but the angle is +90 degree.

It will be like this.

Duplicate the first layer and rasterize it. Send it to back (by pressing shift+control+{ ) and place it as shown.

Create a new layer. Draw a selection like shown in the figure with polygonal lasso tool.

Fill the selection with #0588BC color.

Create a new layer. Use high feather brush. Select #013C54 as fill color and fill the color below the first shape so that we can have a shadow like effect.

Now, group and merge all the layers. Duplicate the layer once again and send it to back. Also move the new layer 12-15 pixel downward by pressing down arrow key for 12-15 times.

>Finally, change the opacity of this layer around 50%.

Done..! Our 3D Callout Icon is ready..
