You can achieve the first one " If you're using CorelDRaw" make use of Star shape and increase the star angles and reduce the angle length. (Keep playing with the angle and length you'll achieve it)


The second can be achieve with Photoshop, it's called "Mock-up".... creating that is another tutorial on it own, but nevertheless you can get free book mock-ups via Google Search.

just search for "Books mock-ups" they'll mostly be PSD format.... download and extract the PSD file, lunch it. The remaining steps are easy if you have Photoshop knowledge of smart objects.

You need to tell us what software you are using or you want to use. So as to give you a direct answer.
For the second question, the person above has answered you

I thank you so much, sir for taking both the time and energy to reply me. May i ask just one last question.

Check under tools bar;
Look for rectangle tool or ellipse tool (the recently used tool should be active);
Then click on small angular icon beneath it, you will see a list of tools there;
Select polygon tool;
Click on any on an empty space and select the the number of sides (i will suggest 32 or more for the above pix you posted) and the size. (Same step in illustrator and coreldraw but you will have to use the star tool)

Note: Photoshop is a pixel software (used mainly for editing and creating images) while illustrator and coreldraw are vector software (mainly use for graphics, logo etc). You can easily achieve everything in the above pix you posted with the aid of illustrator or coreldraw.
Google the difference so you understand better.

To be honest, I don't know know if you can achieve that shape in photoshop, I barely used shape tool in photoshop. I know know there's a start shape I've never checked if there's possibilities of increasing the angles and the angle length.

But you can try the star shape in photoshop... I'm very far from my PC I would have check it out.
