Tutorial

1. Draw a 267px diameter circle with the Ellipse Tool and set the color to white

4. Create a Mask

Now, select the Doughnut Auto Shape and draw a 267px diameter circle with an Inner Radius of approximately 110px. We will use the Doughnut Shape as a mask to create the traditional canned pineapple with a hole at the center.

Place the Doughnut Shape on top of the burst, select both and Modify > Mask > Group As Mask and we get a transparent texture.

5. The Background Color. We will use another Doughnut Auto Shape (seen previously) to set the background color. We create a Radial gradient with the colors #EFE69F and #DAC153.
