Design a modern hosting header with an impressive black menu and shiny blue lines!

1. Create a new document (700*400) and fill the background with #FFFFFF using the paint bucket tool.

2. Insert the following image, this is the header image and it needs no further editing…

3. Now select a rectangle like shown below (mine has a heigth of 100px) with your rectangular marquee tool and fill the selection with #1b1b1b on a new layer (layer – new layer).

4. Now we’re going to adjust the blending options and add a gradient overlay with these settings.

5. Create another new layer and make a selection at the bottom of your header using your rectangular marquee tool with a heigth of 35 pixels! Fill it with any color using your paint bucket and copy the layer style of your previously created layer and paste it on the one we’ve just made like shown in this second picture…

6. Now adjust the blending options of the layer we’ve designed in step 5 and use these settings (they are almost remaining the same but this time we don’t reverse the gradient).

7. Create another new layer (layer – new layer) and select a 5px high line just under the selection from step 3… Fill it with blue #6dd5ff!

8. Now adjust the blending options yet again (layer – layer style – blending options) and use the following settings shown in the screenshots…
