If you want to make a good avatar, here are a few tips and tricks:

Step 1.

Make a new document, 80 wide by 100 high. Select the colour 18BE0C as your foreground colour. Then select the rounded rectangle tool, set the radius of the tool to 20px and draw a rectangle the size that you want your button to be.
In my chase, I used my photography and background used with green color.
