In this special tutorial, we will discuss how you can design

your own styled 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed graphic
using Adobe Photoshop. While there are literally hundreds
of these kinds of graphics available on the Internet, It is
sometimes best to have your own style graphic so that you
can add your own personal touches to your themed
materials to come up with highly personalized product
catalogs, sales booklets, commercial posters and event
flyers and pamphlets. So read carefully the steps below
and learn how you can create your own Satisfaction
Guaranteed graphics. 1. Of course, first fire up your Adobe
Photoshop and create a new document. Use any dimension
that you need for the size of your graphic, but it would be
best to use a 300ppi resolution if this graphic is for printed
elements.

2. Now, we will create the seal or badge shape. Luckily for

you, Adobe Photoshop already has that custom shape in
hand. Simply click on the custom shape tool first in your
tools panel.

3. Then in the options bar above, click on the button to

“Shape Layers”. Next, click on the shapes drop down
menu, and then choose the SEAL shape. This is the typical
shape of those guarantee badges.

4. Next, just draw out the SEAL shape by clicking and

dragging the shape into the canvass. Hold down the SHIFT
key while doing this to make sure that you get a more
uniformed shape with constrained proportions. Color this
shape as you see fit for now.

5. Now, we will add special blending options effects to this

shape to add that gold, glossy badge effect to our graphic.
To do this, right click on the layer and then click on the
option for “Blending options”.

these values: a. Blend Mode: Normal b. Opacity: 100 c.
Style: Linear d. Angle: 145° e. Scale 100 f. Gradient Color:

dark orange, orange and brown.

the center of your seal. Just use the Elliptical Shape tool
to create these circles. Color the larger one with your
Theme color, BUT use white on the center.

the coloured circle. Just double click on your colored circle
layer and then add the appropriate gradient color
combination for your theme.

14. Next, we add some text. Let us first add the easiest
part which is the 100% number. Simply use the text tool to
write 100% in big bold letters. Then, rotate the text a bit
so that it is slanted. Do this by hovering your mouse over
the text selection box and then moving your mouse once
the rotation cursor appears.

15. Now we will enter in the words for the border. To do

this, we first use the pen tool to draw a half circle path on
the border area. Then, we use the type tool and click on
the FIRST ANCHOR of the path. Afterwards, we just type in
our text, while they follow the path that we set.
