Step 1:

Open a new image 500x500. Flood Fill with white.
Copy and paste the camera as a new layer. Add a drop shadow of your choice.
I used Lokas 3D shadow with the following settings.


Duplicate this layer. Make sure the duplicate is active and set your Selection Tool to Circle. Tolerance and Feather 0.
Put your cursor in the middle of the shutter and hold down your shift key. Pull your mouse out to make a circle slightly smaller than the shutter size.
Adjust Brightness/ Contrast.
Brightness = 115 Contrast = -17
Deselect.
Change your selection tool to Rounded Rectangle and select the flash on the camera.
Adjust Brightness/ Contrast.
Brightness = 35 Contrast = -17
Deselect.

Go to Effects/ Illumination Effects/ Sunburst.
Use the settings shown below


Rename your layers as shown below.


Step 2:

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, resize as neccessary.
close the original as we will need it later.
Position the tube where you think it looks best, (see my image as a guide) and add a Drop Shadow of your choice.

Click inside the top frame to select it. Selections modify expand by 3.
Add a new Raster layer.
Open the original tube and merge flatten.
Use your selection tool to select a part of the image you want to have in the first frame. Go to Edit/ Copy.

Click on the top Film Strip layer and merge down. Duplicate this layer.

Repeat from Step 3 until all 3 frames are filled.
Rename Film 2, Film 3 and Film 4 as shown below and add a drop shadow of your choice to each film layer.


Step 4:

Set your Foreground colour to #808080 and your Background colour to white.
Set your Background to the Background / Foreground gradient.
Click on the text tool making sure Vector is selected and using a font of your choice add your name.
Once you are happy with the size and placing convert to Raster layer and add a drop shadow of your choice. I used
