Final Image

As always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating:

Step 1

Hit Command + N to create a new document. Select Pixels from the Units drop-down menu, enter 600 in the Width and Height boxes then click on the Advanced button. Select RGB,Screen (72ppi) and make sure that the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid box is unchecked before you click OK. Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid) and the Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid). You will need a grid every 5px, so simply go to Edit > Preferences > Guides > Grid, enter5 in the Gridline every box and 1 in the Subdivisions box. You should also open the Info panel (Window > Info) for a live preview with the size and position of your shapes. Do not forget to set the unit of measurement to pixels from Edit > Preferences > Units > General. All these options will significantly increase your work speed.

Step 2

Pick the Rectangle Tool (M) and focus on your Toolbar. Remove the color from the stroke then select the fill and set its color at R=50 G=50 B=50. Now, simply click on your artboard to open the Rectangle window. Enter 610 in the Width and Height boxes then click the OK button. This should create a 610px square. Next, you will need to center it, so open the Align panel (Window > Align). Set the aligning to artboard (open the fly out menu and go to Show Optionsif you can’t see the Align To section as shown in the following image), then simply click theHorizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center buttons. In the end, your dark shape should cover the entire artboard as shown in the following image.

Step 3

Return to your Toolbar, set the fill color at R=70 G=175 B=15 and switch to the Ellipse Tool (L). Create a 110px circle and center it using the Horizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center buttons from the Align panel.

Step 4

Make sure that your green circle is selected and go to Object > Path > Offset Path. Enter a -40px Offset and click OK. Select the resulting shape and focus on the Appearance panel (Window > Appearance). Remove the color from the fill, select the stroke, set the color at white and increase the weight to 6pt.

Step 5

Select the circle with the white stroke and go to Object > Path > Add Anchor Points. Keep focusing on this shape, grab the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the top anchor point (highlighted in the second image) and simply hit the Delete key from your keyboard to remove it. Make sure that the remaining path stays selected, open the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke) and simply check the Round Cap button. In the end, things should look like in the third image. Pick the Pen Tool (P), create a 15px, vertical path and place it as shown in the fourth image. Add a white, 6pt stroke for this new path, select it and check the Round Cap button from theStroke panel.

Step 6

Make sure that both, white paths are selected and go to Object > Path > Outline Stroke. Select the resulting shapes and hit CTRL + 8 (or go to Object > Compound Path > Make) to turn them into a simple compound path.

Step 7

Make sure that your green circle stays selected, focus on the Appearance panel and add a second fill using the Add New Fill button (pointed by the little, blue arrow in the following image). Select this new fill, open the Gradient panel (Window > Gradient) and simply click on the gradient thumbnail to add the default black to white linear gradient. Keep focusing on your Gradient panel, set the angle at 90 degrees then move to the gradient colors. Select the right slider and set the color at R=0 G=95 B=0 then select the left slider and set the color atR=130 G=225 B=75. Make sure that this second fill is still selected and go to Effect > Path > Offset Path. Enter -8px Offset and click OK.

Make sure that this new fill is selected and go to Effect > Path > Offset Path. Enter a 4px Offset, clickOK and go to Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow. Enter the attributes shown below and click OK.

Step 14

Make sure that your green circle stays selected and focus on the Appearance panel. Add a new fill, drag it in the bottom of the Appearance panel, add the linear gradient shown below and go to Effect > Path > Offset Path. Enter a 15px Offset, click OK and go to Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Enter a 10px radius and click OK.

Step 15

Make sure that your green circle stays selected and focus on the Appearance panel. Select the bottom fill and duplicate it using that same Duplicate Selected Item button from the bottom of your Appearance panel. Focus on this new fill, open the existing Offset Path effect, decrease the Offset to 10px then open the existing Gaussian Blur effect, decrease the radius to 3px and click OK.

Step 16

Make sure that your green circle stays selected and focus on the Appearance panel. Select that green (R=70 G=175 B=15) fill and go to Effect > Stylize > Inner Glow. Enter the properties shown in the following image, click OK and go to Effect > Stylize > Outer Glow. Enter the attributes shown below and click OK. In the end, things should look like in the following image.

Step 17

Make sure that your compound path stays selected and focus on the Appearance panel. Select the fill and replace the existing color with the radial gradient shown in the following image.

Step 18

Make sure that your compound path stays selected, focus on the Appearance panel and add a second fill. Select it, set the color at R=100 G=205 B=45, change the Blending Mode toMultiply and go to Effect > Path > Offset Path. Enter a -2.5px Offset and click OK.

Select the existing stroke, set the color at black, lower its Opacity to 15% and check the Align Stroke to Inside button from the Stroke panel. Return to the Appearance panel and add a second stroke for this shape using the Add New Stroke button (pointed by the little, blue arrow in the following image). Select this new stroke, lower its Opacity to 25% and check the Align Stroke to Outside button from the Stroke panel.

Step 20

Reselect the circle and the compound path that make up your power button and duplicate them (CTRL + C > CTRL + F). Select these copies and simply drag them several pixels down as shown in the second image.

Step 21

Select the circle that makes up your second button and focus on the Appearance panel. Select the fifth fill (start the count from the bottom) and simply replace the colors used for the existing linear gradient with the ones shown in the following image. Move down to the green fill and replace the existing color with R=227 G=128 B=10. Keep focusing on this orange fill, open the existing Outer Glow effect and enter the attributes shown in the following image.

Step 22

Select the compound path that makes up your second button and focus on the Appearancepanel. Select the top fill and simply replace the green with R=251 G=176 B=64.
