Select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Radial Gradient)). Apply a radial gradient using the colors #000000 and #49454d.
Create a ((New Layer)).
With ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)), radius: 9px, and draw a rectangle which will be the banner. Take a look at the following image.
Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #000000 and #2d2d2d.
((Stroke)).
After applying these ((Layer Styles)) you will obtain this result.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Apply the banner design you like. In order to maintain the document’s tone, it’s better that you use the white color, in case you want to write or draw something.
Before going on, download these BRUSHES.
Once you have installed the new brush, apply it in a ((New Layer)) and place it above the others.
To the texture, reduce the ((Opacity)) to 30%.
