In this tutorial I am going to teach you how to make a nice sleek looking mockup for a website header.
It should look like this: Click here.
* We start by opening a new document (Ctrl+N) (Cmnd+N - Note for mac users - Replace the CTRL with Command) Dimensions 800px width X 120px Height - Background color set as white for now. OK
* On the background layer go choose black as your color and than go select the paint bucket tool- than click on your stage to fill the bg with black.
