Okay next step is easy, just adding text inside the red circle using the Type tool. In case you wondering, the font used here is "Bebas" and "Century Gothic". If you feel lazy about typing, ask you friend to do the work (that's a joke, don't be too serious! *LOL* )

Step 12

To make the double lines below the "Street Dance" text, just type an "equal symbol" using the Type tool. Any font will work, but i choose "Bebas" in hope it will blend smoothly with other texts.

Step 14

Now go to Edit> Transform path> Perspective and grab one of the corner control point's to skew the shape perceptively.

Step 15

Add another red circle by copying the first one we created before (click on the ellipse layer, then press [CTRL] [J] will do the work). Make this second circle smaller, and reduce the stroke width to 1px from both the option bar and layer style's dialog.
