How to make a simple, square button

	1Select the Rectangle Tool.
	2Hold down the Shift Key and drag to make a small square (this will make it a true square). *Note: If you do not hold the shift key while dragging, you will get a rectangle, not a true square.
	3For the Fill Color, open your Swatches Pallet, as shown. Select the "Yellow and Orange Radial".
	4Now, change the Gradient Type to "Linear", by going to your Gradient Pallet. Click the Type pop down menu and choose "Linear".
	5Select the Gradient Tool. Hold down the Shift Key, click in the top left corner of the square , and drag the gradient to the bottom right corner. At this point it should look like the one to the left.
	6Next, make a smaller square inside the first one.
	7Fill this square with the same gradient: Select the Gradient Tool once more and click on the bottom right corner this time, and drag to the top left.
	8Ta-da! A simple square button!
