First I made a rounded rectangle as the license plate. Next, I added the text for the license plate. For the "Samz" text I used the Bevel & Emboss tool to make it pop out more than the other text on the plate. After I added the Ontario crown by quick selecting it from a picture online. Then I added a gradient layer and a drop shadow to add a bit of a shadow to the plate to make it more realistic. Lastly, I added the grey "holes" to mimic what is on a Ontario License Plate.
