Things you need to create this layout:

To create this Internet service provider layout you need to create a new document with the following sizes: 960 x 900 pixels. I will use a dark color for this layout. A few days ago I received an e-mail from someone asking how he can change the color of the background.  To change the background color is very simple.
Double click on the foreground color.

On the color picker window select which color you want. In my case I will use the following color for the background: #101318

With Paint Bucket Tool I will click one time on my document, and this is the easy way to add a color to the background. Please note that you need to select the background layer, and after that you can add the color with Paint Bucket Tool. Now let’s start assembling this tutorial with some basic techniques.
For start I will use the Brush Tool, to create a white point on the top left corner of this layout
