step 1 of 33

I created a photoshop document.

step 2 of 33

I filled the current layer with a black fill.

step 3 of 33

I made a seperate document for the pattern.

step 4 of 33

I made a text paragraph with numbers and then converted it to a pattern.

step 5 of 33

I used pattern overlay to fill my current layer with the pattern I made from the seperate document.

step 6 of 33

I made a a couple of text layers made up of numbers in left and right order in a stack.

step 7 of 33

I merged all of my text layers.

step 8 of 33

I duplicated my merged text layer 5 times.

step 9 of 33

I arrange the current merged layer and the duplicated layers to show definition and to show graphical design.

step 10 of 33

I merged all of the layers again.

step 11 of 33

I transformed my merged layer to fit the canvass and also made a layer filled with black.
I also turned on visibility for my pattern layer.

step 12 of 33

I merged the both of the layers leaving the black filled layer not merged with it.

step 13 of 33

I duplicated the merged layer three times.

step 14 of 33

I transformed the original layer into a small square into the center of the canvass.

step 15 of 33

I transformed the first duplicated layer into a bigger square and adjusted opacity.

step 16 of 33

I transformed the second duplicated layer into a larger square compared to the first duplicated layer and changed opacity.

step 17 of 33

Again transformed layer into a larger one with the previous and changed opacity values.

step 18 of 33

I merged again all of the layers. The output of the merged layers.

step 19 of 33

I duplicated the merged layer two times.

step 20 of 33

I changed opacity for the three layers and transformed it. Then again merged it.

step 21 of 33

I duplicated the merged layer.

step 22 of 33

I applied filters for the original layer. Spherize Filter.

step 23 of 33

I converted the duplicated layer into a new shape from layer to form the sphere.

step 24 of 33

I changed the blend mode for the original layer from Normal Mode into Pin Light Mode.

step 25 of 33

I cut out the space taken up by the duplicated layer from the original layer(number background) then applied unsharp mask to the duplicated layer (sphere).

step 26 of 33

I duplicated the original layer (number background) three times to make it more brighter and sharp.

step 27 of 33

I merged the three duplicated layers from the original layer and applied Luminosity Mode and changed its opacity.

step 28 of 33

I transformed the original layer to have a more larger hole in the center and tapped in the duplicated layer into the center so that it would look like a black hole.

step 29 of 33

I applied Twirl Filter for the original layer to have a whirl effect at the center.

step 30 of 33

I also applied a Twirl Filter for the duplicated layer to continue the whirl effect at the center.

step 31 of 33

Now the whirl is on the center eating the sphere. : D

step 32 of 33

To glaced things up I made a text layer with the word Arithmophobia to catch one's eye of what my design is all about.

I finish it up with the number pattern, outer glow , and a little stroke.

step 33 of 33

To make the food more delicious... : D

I top up the text layer with a mirror effect.

Ahyt! That is all...

Enjoy : D
