This is a very simple tutorial. But I want to show you some tips here. If you are already a 'pixel creator' then just dont read this.
1. Create a new document; RGB; 72 dpi
2. For the background I used #666666.
3. On the new layer use the rectangular marquee tool to make a rectangle of fixed size, width 140 and height 480.
4. Fill it with #868870 color.
5. Double click on this layer to open Layer Style window.
6. Apply Bevel and Emboss.
