Web 2.0 Header Design.
Step 1:
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 1000×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with white color. Now make a new layer and draw a black rectangle with height of 34 px across the top of your canvas.
Step 2:
In a new layer draw a large rectangle with #8EE7FF color shade and 1000 x 175 px dimensions right below your black rectangle strip. This rectangle will be the background of your header.
Step 3:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your header layer.
Result:
Step 4:
On top of your header draw a 1px line with #3E565C color shade on the middle of the black and dark blue rectangular strip.
Step 5:
Select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Arial, bold, 12 pt, none and #83DCF4 color shade. In a new text layer type out your navigation links with a lengthy space between each link on the top of your header background.
Step 6:
Now add a link for your rss feed a long with a logo, download the rss logo here. Use #F57F22 color shade for your rss link.
Step 7:
Select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Arial, regular, 60 pt, strong and white color shade. In a new text layer type your website name on the header space.
Step 8:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow blending option to your website name text layer. Then set the layer's blending mode to Soft Light.
Result:
Step 9:
Create a new layer, below your header space draw a rectangle with 1000 x 20 px dimensions and #87E5FF color shade. Then below that draw another rectangular strip with #DAF7FF color shade.
Step 10:
Now add an illustration graphic on right end of the header space. In this tutorial we used a hologram design which you can download here.
