Create simple arrows in photoshop with ease!

Step 1

Start a new document 400x500 pixels with a white background.

Select your foreground and background colour. I chose #7F8B95 for the foreground and plain white #FFFFFF for the bg.

Step 5

Now I will tell you how to rotate your arrow at an angle like shown below.

Press CTRL + T, move your cursor near the top right corner of the box until a little round shaped arrow apears. Now hold Shift and rotate your arrow round untill you get the angle shown on the right and hit enter on your keyboard.

This is a very popular angle to have your arrow at as it looks good on graphical designs like banners for your site etc.
