Step 1

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 1000×950 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with white color. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Header'. In a new layer draw a large rectangle with #0097F6 color shade and 1000×130 px dimensions on top end of your canvas. Then in a new layer draw a dark gray rectangle with #202020 color shade and 1000×30 px dimensions below the first rectangle.
