Creating a fun Robot head design in Photoshop
Robot Head Design
Step 1:
Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 500×400 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with #004E80 color shade. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Robot Head'. Then in a new layer draw an ellipse with #87FFFF color shade and 67 x 44 px dimensions.
Step 2:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option to your ellipse layer.
Result:
Step 3:
In a new layer draw a large light blue ellipse with #6BC6FF color shade and 116 x 118 px dimensions, position it as shown below.
Step 4:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your large light blue ellipse layer.
Result:
Step 5:
In a new layer draw a large black ellipse with the same size as the light blue ellipse.
Step 6:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Shadow and Satin blending options to your large black ellipse layer. Then set the layer's blending mode to Lighten.
Result:
Step 7:
In a new layer draw a white circle with 36 x 36 px dimensions, this will be part of the eye. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options.
Result:
Step 8:
In a new layer draw a small black circle then draw a white circle inside.
Step 9:
Now add the right eye by duplicating the original designs.
Step 10:
In a new layer draw a blue ellipse with #004E80 color shade and 28 x 13 px dimensions on the head.
Step 11:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to the blue ellipse layer.
Result:
Step 12:
In a new layer draw a small white ellipse inside the blue ellipse design.
Step 13:
Now draw 4 small black rounded rectangles in seperate layers as shown below. Then set the layer's opacity level of the bottom rounded rectangles to 62% and 45%.
Step 14:
Now merge down your 'Robot Head' layer set through Layer > Merge Layer Set. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add Shadow and Inner Glow blending options to your Robot Head layer.
Result:
Results:
Robot Head Design.

Remember, if designing for print, set your workspace to 300dpi and at actual size to be used, or larger. Many people use higher resolutions, 600dpi for instance, but this is not necessary, and will not improve the final print quality.
If designing just for the web, then a 72dpi workspace is fine.
Another thing to consider - if designing for print, then make sure 'Mode' is set for CMYK.
