Lower the opacity of the “Gradient” layer to 70% by clicking on it in the Layers palette and the opacity options are on the top right corner. This just gives it a little bit better of a blend and makes it a bit more believable. Now, working with the “Glow” layer again, go to Edit > Transform > Distort and change the settings to something like the image above. Double click to confirm the changes. Then, still working with “Glow,” go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and change the radius to 70 pixels – then click okay. Then add in whatever text you’d like on the sphere. I’m going to use a “w” for Websoulz!
