1. Create a new file.

In this case, I have used 297x210 pixels.

2. Set the background colour.

Set the background colour to #242f36. (Alt + Backspace)

Separate them using Polygonal Lasso Tool into different layers.

Make a selection of the head layer. (CTRL + Right-click). Keep the new layer (Layer 1) selected.
Pull the gradient from the bottom of the head to center of the head.
