Select the rounded rectangle tool and create a rectangle nearly the width of your canvas. Make a selection at the bottom of your rectangle about 50 pixels in height, cut and paste to a new layer. Hide your cutted part of the rectangle for later. You should have something like this.

I also add a little shine to the hover button like we did to the header and navigation in the previous steps. Using two 1 pixel lines add a divider inbetween each navigation item. Add a layer mask to the divider then drag a reflected gradient over the top to blend in the top and bottom half the divider.

The read more buttons are made using the rounded rectangle. Inbetween each bit of text in the above image add a divider the same way we did on the navigation. Once you've done that select the rounded rectangle tool again and create a small box for our photo gallery.
