Step 1
Open up a new document, size 700 by 160. Color the background 333333. Create a new a new layer leave it as layer one. Grab the rectangular marquee tool, and select a rectangle inside the document leaving one pixel opened for stroke. Then follow this image.
Step 2
OK now that you have that grab the pen tool and draw what you see in the image. Then rasterize the image and you should have what you see in the image.
Step 3
OK now click on that layer that you just made with the pen tool. Then put in the blending options , that you see in the image.
Step 4
Now your going to duplicate that layer. And your going use the pen tool to cut out the place where the menu buttons are going to be. See what I did. After you made the shape with the pen tool make it selectable by going to windows/paths/ then right click select and backspace. In the image you will see the steps to this.
Step 5
Now go on that top menu bar layer, and change all the settings to the ones on this image.
Step 6
This is what you should have so far.
Step 7
OK now duplicate that menu bar. Your going to use that pen tool to do the same thing we did before but this time with this shape. Were going to cut it in half, but make sure the edges are round. Then remove the stroke and make the color white. Then put its opacity to 14, if you don't know what I mean this is what you should have.
Step 8
Now write out across that whole banner, the menu buttons you would like to have. I used the default font with the size 14. After you wrote everything Go to place it on top of all the layers. Then put it on top of the menu bar. Its not right though because its straight. So that's why your going to go to edit/transform/ rotate. Then rotate it along the menu bar. See this is what I came up with.
Step 9
OK now click on that first layer, and duplicate it, then once you done that remove the stroke and make it the color 333333. Then make a selection like you see in the image, and press backspace to delete it. After you've done that make the opacity of it to 44.
Step 10
Ok now there you could put a logo of some type, and on the bottom put some text or something, and your done. Good luck with your banner, this is what Iv created.
