Make a new Photoshop document, 120x120 .
120x150 is too high for my personal taste.
-
Find your image and important it to Photoshop (Ctrl + O).
-
Drag it into your composition that was made.
-
We have this at the moment:
-

-
Select the ellipse tool and make a new ellipse any size.
-
As such:
-


Find the free transform option (Ctrl + T) and expand your circle to fight the canvas edges.
-
As such:
-

-
Put the ellipse below your image.
-
Right click on your image and select "Create clipping mask"
-
As such:
-

-
Make the background #33333 to match HackForum's background color.

Thanks.
