Create a Crystallized Header Design in Photoshop

2-9-08 Filed under Designing & Photoshop Tutorials

Step 7:
In a new text layer add your name again using #0023AF color shade. Then set the text layers blending mode to Vivid Light.

Step 8:
Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool from your tools palette then above your screen under options palette choose Fill Pixels, set the radius to 8 px and check anti-aliased. Create a new layer and draw gray, color code #D0D0D0 rounded rectangle, size 59×20 px. Now cut the bottom half of your rounded rectangle.

Step 9:
Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Arial, regular, 8 pt, sharp and white for color. In a new text layer type ‘c’. Now rotate that letter by 90 degrees so the letter is pointing up.

Duplicate the letter by about 4-5 times and stack them. Now merge all the ‘c’ layers so the whole stack design is in one layer. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option.

Step 10:
Now move the ‘c’ layer you stacked earlier under the header background. Remember you added a Drop Shadow blending option to the header background in step one.

Step 11:
Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the options palette set the font family to Arial, regular, 10 pt, sharp and white for color. In a new text layer type your navigation links between each spacer design.

Step 12:
That’s it your done.
