Tutorial goal:

step 1
Open a new document with your preferable size (i chose 300x300) with a black background.
Choose the custom shape tool and choose the hexagon amongst all the custom shapes (if it's not present you may need to load all the custom
shapes).
step 2
Make a new layer. Choose a light gray shade and while holding the Shift key, draw a hexagon.
Double click the new layer to access Blending options.
Choose Bevel and Emboss. Apply all the settings as shown. Note: you
