1. Firstly depending on how big your wallpaper is going to be create a 100×100 document or a 200×200 document. Make sure the background is invisible. Get the ellipse tool and draw a black circle like below while holding down the shift key. Place the circle on the top edge of the document so that only half is seen.
Now press ctrl+r to bring up the rulers and drag out 2 horizontal lines and drag them on the top and bottom of the circle. Duplicate the circle and move it across to the other side of the document making sure only half is visible and it’s inline with the rulers lines you dragged down.
Duplicate the circle again and place the new circle on the bottom center of the document like below.
