Design Studio - The Best Creative Idea (Part 1)

Create a new file that must have 768x215 px and 72 dpi. Then select the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to paint the background in #828282

Then we have to select for the layer below the next filter's option: Filter>Noise>Add Noise

Select also one more option for this layer: Image>Adjustments>Desaturate

Using the Rectangle Tool (U) we need to represent the primary layer reserved for the logotype that will be situated on the site's header.

The layer's parameters:

Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient's parameters:

Blending Options>Stroke

The Ellipse Tool (U) will be helpful in drawing a highlight that you may see on the next picture.

The layer's parameters:

Fill 0% on the layers.

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient's parameters:

Press Alt button and make a mouse's click between the highlight's layer and the logotype's one for the highlight to be applied in the limits of the previous layer.

Next we need to select the Custom Shape Tool (U) for representing the logotype on the site's header. Choose the next pattern encircled with red color.

The color should be white.

The layer's parameters:

Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Choosing the same instrument (Custom Shape Tool (U)), we should draw next a menu's button situated also on the site's header.

The layer's parameters:

Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Next we'll draw the rest of the menu's buttons with the same tool (Custom Shape Tool (U)). Firstly mark out the layer containing the recently made button, clicking in the same time on the right mouse's button to choose Copy Layer Style option. When drawing the rest of the buttons we'll need Paste Layer Style option (copy the layer's parameters).

This button must be cut out on its bottom part, pressing Alt button. The operation may be done with the Rectangle Tool (U).
