Haha, congrats Ula! Glad you got it in the end. And it’s a great accomplishment to learn how to do this stuff after only one week - most of what I know how to do is self-taught and I think it took me a few months before I tried experimenting with shapes and things.
But it’s good that you figured out your own way as well, just keep on experimenting with the program and trying different things, you’ll be much more comfortable with it before long!

And thanks for visiting the site - I know I’ve been pretty bad in keeping it updating recently but I hope to get back here soon.

YES, YES, YES. After 3 days I made my first RSS icon. I know it is not a great score (how long took it ot you?), but this is my first week with Photoshop. I am a little baby, but after this exercise I feel I grow up! Of course I made some stupid mistakes (”I do what they say, but it is not working!”). Now I am sure - advices are good written. I had to do something in my way, but the best is perseverance at striving to reach a goal.
Tanks for worm words and your readiness to help.

Hey Ula - keep at it! The wave is pretty tricky to make (I had to try a few times before I got something I liked).
The path above the circle is actually a continuation of the wave, not a separate path (the image cuts out a line on the right). Just the wave (line) won’t allow you to fill in the top with a gradient, you need to have a shape that covers the entire top.
Let me know if you still need some clarification and I’ll see what I can do! Try downloading the RSS Package as well, I believe I have the PSD files in there if you wanted to take a look.

Sorry, I have to give up. I can’t create pepsi-style wave… I am trying, trying and I am still too weak with Pen Tool. I don’t unaderstand this second path above the circle? What is it for? Bye!

thank you! great idea to use more or only shapes, everything is much tidier.
