Objective time!!!!!!!!! Above you have the main parts with no layer styles. There are some black layers behind the other layers. I'm not going to point them out. Have this in mind and look for them yourself. I didn't say I was going to tell you everything. :)
This is another one of these simple things. This is a gradient. I've used Adobes copper gradient and then I desaturated it (Ctrl+Shift+U). Then I applied an adjustment layer (curves) and chromed it up a bit. Don't forget to load the layers transparency first by Ctrl clicking on its layer in the layer palette.
This part actually contains two layers with two gradients. The one on the left is the same gradient you did before (the copper gradient). The second one is an almost invincible gradient that has an angle of - 90 instead of 180. You can check this gradient out here.
I can tell you that the easiest way to do this is to first make a rectangular selection with the rectangular marquee tool and fill it with the first gradient. Transform it (Ctrl+T), right click (choose perspective) and drag it to the shape you want. Then you apply a gradient overlay with the second gradient.
Start by using the rounded rectangle tool with a radius about 15 pixels and shape layer checked . Then you apply some gradient overlay (black-grey). Make a new layer and link them together . Press Ctrl+E to merge these two layers. Now you have to transform shape. Press Ctrl+T and rotate the shape. Duplicate the layer as many times as you have to and place them besides each other. When you are ready link the layers together and merge them. Let's call this layer twist
Now it's time for Spherize!!!!! Load the transparency of the grey rectangular layer with the twist layer still active. Go to Filter>>Distort>>Spherize . Choose 100% and horizontal only .
I'm not happy with it yet. Activate the rectangular grey layer. Apply a small bevel and emboss (size 1, soften 4) and a gradient overlay (black-transparent-black). U can see the difference above to the right.
Let's concentrate on nr one here, since you all ready know what to do with nr two. I've explained it al lready. :) Let's also skip the part with black color overlay and transform, I've explained that too.
What you have to do here is the white parts. These two white parts is two rectangular selections who
are filled with white
(two new layers). Then you apply some gaussion blur and rotate them a bit. When you have rotated them
you load the transparency of layer one. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to inverse the selection. Now active the
two white layers one at a time and press delete. You do this to get rid of the white that is outside
layer one.
