I'm trying to make an image similar to the one attached, my problem is getting the broken globe look of the attachment (Its the dual colored blue thing at the bottom of post )

No idea how to explain it, hopefully someone will have an idea

Pretty straight forward really...

Here's a quickly put together example. But it provides all the needed info.
Checkout the animation below i've made. Each step is shown on its own. Then a combined version, then with colour added.

Basically put, you're creating ovals, the selecting them and using the SELCTION/Transform Selection... function to reduce the size of the selection. When you've done this, and perhaps even moved the selection a little to create the porper crescent shape, you delete the selected area.

The same proceudre is done 2x. 1 for the main circle, and once for the thinner oval ring. The second oval ring is a duplicate of the first, that's been rotated 180 degrees. Then moved into position.

The only other specific thing you need to do is erase or select and delete the small area shown within the red circle in the animation.
After that, the separate parts are coloured. And if you wish, all layers Merged together -- except the BG layer. (not Flattened, Merged)

Any confusion on this, just ask. [honesty]

Default Thanks alot!

I'd thought it would be something like that, I was just having problems with the ovals especially the ovals in the middle

Anyway I really appriciate your help, that gif you made will help so much and give me get a better idea of how to make the ovals and cut them out

thanks!

Default Stupid question

I feel like an idiot, but I can't seem to delete the circle like you do, when I delete it the circle I created (to make the moon) disapears instead of turning the black circle into a moon shape.

I can get around it by filling the circle in with white, but was wondering how to correctly do it

Welcome aboard Shaw [righton]
you can't delet hmmmmmm [innocent] you have the correct layer selected....... you have created the shape that you want to cut out and it wont delete can't see why it wouldn't delete - brain cells aren't working, have you tried "cut" found under edit?

Default Thanks

I think i got it, my problem I guess is using the other shape functions, I just don't understand how to use them.

I finally figured out how to sorta do it the way it is shown in the gif, but I had to do a bunch of wierd vector stuff and don't really understand how it's done.

Anyway I'm almost finished with my version of the drawing and I'll post it after i finish so you guys can see how it looks. If anyone knows where I can find a detailed explaination of different shape options (ie: paths and shape layers) and somewhere that describes how vectors work, when they are used and why they are so wierd.
